The umbrella of learning disability

What is LD?

LD is an acronym for Learning Disorder or Learning Disability. Essentially the LDs comprise a series of deficits that interfere with the child’s ‘learning’. Hence we use the term ‘disorder’. Children with LD learn things in a manner that's different from the conventional pattern. There may be a deficit in reading, writing, or mathematics. The processing of information in the brain is different and the techniques used to understand information are somehow unusual. The learning process thus becomes very tedious in the brains of such individuals. This faulty pattern has to be corrected in order for the appropriate learning experience to build.

Not so blessed with intellect

Why my child?

All children are divine gifts from God. How the little embryo transforms in to the fetus and is delivered from your being into this universe is a miraculous process. And as much as science has progressed to help us understand the process, we still don't know things that go on at the back end before we get the final product in our hands. Some of our children seem to develop and progress as per the accepted norms and stages that they must accomplish at times in their development. However, for some reason, some children lag behind in the same. Some in fact may be faster than their normal counterparts while others are slower. And at times the slower ones do not have the ability to catch up. It’s not their fault. It’s simply the way it was destined for them. These kids who lack the ability to develop in their mind and their abilities as they are supposed to in keeping with other kids of their age, have intellectual deficits.
