LEARNING DISABILITY AMONG BOYS OF 10-12 YEARS. An umbrella term for a wide variety of learning problems

      Аннотация: Learning disability has been by far the fastest growing, the most controversial, and often the most confusing area within special education, learning disability is real and a stumbling block for a nation’s development process. Children with learning disabilities all have uneven development of skills, but what they learn, how they learn, the people they are, and the way the learning disability affects non-academic areas of life such as friendships, job and success can be very different. The skills most often affected are reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, and doing math. Learning disabilities vary from person to person. One person with Learning disability may not have the same kind of learning problems as another person with Learning disability. One person may have trouble with reading and writing. Another person with Learning disability may have problems in understanding math. This book will be useful for parents and teachers of learning disabled boys in early identification and in behaviour modification of their boys. Ultimately this may lead in enhancing self- esteem, adjustment in the family and society.
