Abstract :
Learning disability is a classification that includes several areas of functioning in which a person has difficulty learning in a typical manner, usually caused by an unknown factor or factors. Given the difficulty learning in a typical manner , this does not exclude the ability to learn in a different manner. Therefore, some people can be more accurately described as having a Learning Difference , thus avoiding any misconception of being disabled with a lack of ability to learn and possible negative stereotyping. The term inclusion captures, in one word, an all embracing societal ideology. Regarding individuals with disabilities and special education, inclusion secures opportunities for students with disabilities to learn alongside their non disabled peers in general education classrooms. While learning disability, learning disorder and learning difficulty are often used interchangeably, they differ in many ways. Disorder refers to significant learning problems in an academic area. These problems, however, are not enough to warrant an official diagnosis. Learning disability, on the other hand, is an official clinical diagnosis, whereby the individual meets certain criteria, as determined by a professional psychologist, pediatrician, etc. . The difference is in degree, frequency, and intensity of reported symptoms and problems, and thus the two should not be confused. When the term learning disorder is used, it describes a group of disorders characterized by inadequate development of specific academic, language, and speech skills. Types of learning disorders include reading dyslexia , mathematics dyscalculia , writing dysgraphia and movement and coordination dyspraxia .
