Today I will be sharing some knowledge on Learning disorder.
A learning disorder is a wide variety of learning problems.in simple terms learning disability results from a difference in the way, a person’s brain is wired.
Kids with learning disorders may have issues reading, writing, spelling, reasoning, recalling, or organizing information.
With the right support and intervention, children with learning disorders can awesomely succeed in school, careers later in life.
Not every great mind think alike.
Did you know Walt Disney, General George Palton, vice president Nelson Rockefeller had trouble reading all their lives?
How about the famous Albert Einstein?
He couldn’t read until he was nine.
This means if we put in the right support and intervention for our precious children with learning disorders they will do very well.
RECOGNIZING A CHILD WITH LEARNING DISORDERS.

Poor fine motor skills development.
Difficulty following directions or routines.
Some children with learning disorders may be extremely restless and easily distracted.

WE HAVE DIFFERENT TYPES OF LEARNERS.
VISUAL LEARNERS.
AUDITORY LEARNERS.
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS.
If your child is a visual learner, they learn best by seeing or reading, may love to draw, read, or write, do well when the material is presented visually.
AUDITORY LEARNERS learn best by listening, benefits from classroom discussions.
May love music, language, and being on stage.
KINESTHETIC LEARNERS learn by doing and moving.
Do well when they can touch, move, and explore, love to be engaged on hand on hand activities, field trips, sports, drama, dance, arts, and craft.
I hope this helps someone.
Together we can achieve.
