Specific Learning Disorders affect two to three children per classroom on average. They are called Specific Learning Disorders because one or some of the necessary elements used in the learning process are challenged. Reading, writing, speaking, and calculating are skills used by the child to learn academically. There is a diverse combination of strengths and weaknesses in these skills. Obviously, when one or some of these are affected, the learning process is at risk.
So, even though the child has no intellectual disorders, he/she might have “unsuitable” instruments for learning. In simple words: If you don’t have the right recipe and method to make a cake, even with great ingredients the result won’t be as expected.
When we learn, we mainly process information (outer brain receives information through the senses) and if the brain perceives and/or processes the information differently, the approach will obviously be different.
