#Learning Disabilities

My inability to comprehend algebra is a poor way to measure my capacity for success in other areas. Despite the learning disabilities, I CAN learn, just not traditional material in a traditional way. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Students are often told they should just “apply themselves.” However, in the case of specific learning disorders, no amount of “application” can change brain structure. 🧠 ⭐️ Accommodations, modifications, and even substitutions will be the key to success with conditions like this. . #autism #autistic #neurodivergent #learningdisabilities #dyslexia #specialeducation #teacher #specialneeds #disability #actuallyautistic #autismawareness #dyscalculia #occupationaltherapy #speechtherapy #autismacceptance #education

Dyslexia is a learning disability that impacts someone’s ability to learn, read and, interpret words/letters/symbols. Dyslexia itself does NOT impact general intelligence. It’s one of the more commonly understood and diagnosed learning disabilities. Dyslexia can be treated but not cured. People with dyslexia will always struggle with reading in some capacity, but intervention can minimize how significant that struggle is for the individual. 📚👀 . #dyslexia #specialeducation #spedteacher #autism #teacher #learningdisabilities #autismparenting #reading #learning #psychology #tutor #disability

Learning Difficulty (aka Specific Learning Disorder, SLD) and Learning Disability (aka Intellectual Developmental Disorder, IDD) are distinct conditions that differ significantly in their characteristics and impact on individuals. Learning difficulty refers to difficulties in specific academic areas such as reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), or maths (dyscalculia). Individuals with learning difficulties typically have average or above-average intelligence but struggle with particular academic skills, performing significantly below what is expected for their age. The disorder is identified when academic performance in reading, writing, or maths is substantially below the level expected based on the individual’s age, intelligence, and educational background. It primarily affects academic performance, leading to frustration and lower self-esteem, but it does not impact overall cognitive functioning. In contrast, Learning Disability, also known as intellectual disability, involves significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior. Individuals with Learning Disability have an IQ significantly below average, typically below 70-75, and face difficulties in adaptive behaviors, which affect their ability to live independently and function socially. Learning Disability is diagnosed based on both intellectual assessment and observation of adaptive functioning, typically evident before the age of 18. The disorder affects all areas of cognitive and adaptive functioning, sometimes requiring extensive and lifelong support in various aspects of life, including education, employment, and daily living skills. #learningdifficulties #learningdisability #intellectualdisability #neurodivergent #mentalhealth #psychiatry #psychiatrist

Early Literacy Matters for Blind Toddlers 👏 Early literacy isn’t something that starts in school—it starts from birth, and it’s just as important for blind toddlers as it is for sighted children. Through touch, sound, movement, and rich language, blind children build the foundations for communication, learning, and independence. In this video, Eddie is exploring a low cost tool designed for blind kids called the Braille Doodle. It has a magnet pen and magnet board and Eddie can make Braille letters or draw raised pictures to feel. #blind #lca #fblifestyle #braille #literacy braillematters blindkidscan brailledoodle
