Learning in general terms refers to the changes that acquired knowledge and experience create in our behavior. What is important in learning; perception, understanding and comprehension. Learning does not proceed the same way for every individual. Some people may experience a faster learning process, some may experience a slower learning process. There are various individual differences that determine these.
Learning difficulty does not occur as a result of factors such as any brain damage or mental retardation. Learning disability is not an inability experienced by children. A learning disability results from a disorder or deficiency in the neurology of learning and is rooted in the central nervous system. Unlike many medical disorders, it manifests itself through behavior rather than neurological symptoms. Although this difficulty, which may occur due to genetic factors or various factors before, during, or after birth, continues throughout life, it ceases to be a difficulty if the necessary support is provided. So, how is this difficulty detected and how should support be provided?
Although we will briefly talk about the process of the detection phase here, this should not be a tool for you to make a diagnosis, but for us to intervene early and observe more accurately. Please get an expert's opinion in cases that worry you and think there is a problem.
The first thing to determine in case of a learning disability is; and,
2.To what extent the child has learning difficulties.
The nature of the learning disorders; We can divide it into two: verbal learning disorders and artificial learning disorders. Verbal learning disorders; It is divided into three groups: reading impairment (dyslexia), writing impairment (dysgraphia) and difficulty in arithmetic (dyscalculia). We can see whether these disorders exist in children by looking at their school success. Artificial learning disorders are; It represents more abstract concepts such as learning the time, distinguishing east from west, not being able to understand facial expressions, not being able to understand the behavior of others, and not being able to keep up with music and rhythms. If these are lives It emerges as difficulties in activities.
To measure the extent to which children have learning difficulties;
1.To determine how many grades below the child's chronological age.
2. It is necessary to determine the ratio between intelligence and success by calculating it.
Determining to what extent the child has a learning disability is very important in order to prepare an appropriate education plan for the child experiencing this. A program prepared without researching and determining the child's intelligence, acuity of senses, language development, excitement level and social maturity cannot be a healing program for the child. Determining in which areas and behaviors the child's disability is also means understanding what the child can and cannot do. Make learning disabilities no longer a difficulty with early diagnosis and correct interventions.
