Learning Disability Among Teachers

Ishwarya H., MASLP and Dr. Rohila Shetty, Ph.D.

Introduction

Language disorder is impaired comprehension and/or use of spoken, written and/or other symbol systems (ASHA). The disorders that can occur are many and varied, affecting one or several components of the language and varying in the etiology, in the development and prognosis and in the specific educational needs that they generate.

Learning Disorders are diagnosed when the individual’s achievement on individually administered standardized tests in reading, mathematics, or written expression is substantially below that expected for age, schooling, and level of intelligence’ (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fourth Edition (DSM-IV-TR, 2000) .Types of Learning disability (LD) are Dyscalculia - Mathematical disability, Dysgraphia - Writing disability, Dyslexia - reading disability, Non-Verbal Learning Disabilities - Comprehending nonverbal cues , Oral / Written Language Disorder and Specific Reading Comprehension Deficit- affect an individual’s understanding of what they read or of spoken language. (Learning disability association of America).

Children with very low birth weight, preterm birth, neonatal complications are at greater risk for developing mathematics disorder along with other learning problems are also seen in these children (Taylor, Espy, Anderson 2009). History of language delay, confusing words that sound alike and family history of reading disability are cause for dyslexia (Shaywitz,1998) . Reading disability arises from deficits in phonological awareness (Démonet, Taylor, and Chaix 2004). The prevalence of learning disabilities has reported prevalence rate ranging from 3-10 per cent among students of India. 1.58 per cent of 12- to 18-year-old school students had specific learning disability. (Arun, Chavan, Bhargava,Sharma & Kaur 2013)
