When do English language learners need to be placed in special education? In the United States, there has been an increase in in the number of children from Spanish speaking backgrounds. The English Language Learners, commonly known as ELL’s, are being placed in Special Education without being properly tested for a learning disability. However there are a large number of ELL’s with learning disabilities in elementary grades that truly have a learning disability and are over looked. Many school
defined as specific reading disability, is one of the Specific Learning Disabilities (SpLD). The term ‘dyslexia’ was coined by Rudolf Berlin of Stuttgart, Germany, in 1887 (Wagner 1973). The term dyslexia comes from the Greek dys – ‘impaired’ – and lexis – ‘word’ which refers to impairment in the ability to read and spell that is not due to low intelligence or lack of educational opportunity (Brunswick 2009). Dyslexia was the first general term used to describe various learning problems such as Attention

Because of these and other factors influencing performance, learning does not correlate directly with test results (Terry, 2009). Conceptual Approaches to the Study of Learning. Scientists’ interest in researching the learning processes have both basic and applied value. Basic research may demonstrate a causal relationship between variables and learning leading to a better understanding of the essential processes of knowledge acquisition and application. Applied research facilitates the understanding
abolish the DEAF-WORLD. A Deaf child's natural language is American Sign Language. Therefore, they should be exposed to and taught as much ASL in school as possible. When Deaf children are mainstreamed into public schools, they lost contact with other Deaf children with whom they can associate and sign with. Many Deaf adults have remained friends with people they met while attending residential schools. For parents that have children with other disabilities, mainstreaming has an inherent attraction,
television has had surprising negative effect. Violence shown on television causes children and teenagers to develop behavioral problems and learning disabilities. Such behavioral and learning problems include; language development, school performance / learning, cognitive development and their general behavior to others (Kinnear 27). In a study on the correlation between violence and television done with 1,565 teenage boys over a six-year period in London, William Belson, a British psychologist, found that

Keeping a structured and predictable schedule is imperative when instructing a child with autism. The child will also, most likely, need some specialized

Conversely, there is research depicting a distinct difference with minimal to nonexistent correlations between neuroscience and education. Twardosz (2012, p. 107) has expressed that many researchers have rather fervent opinions about the relevancy of neuroscience in relation to ECE; accordingly, there have been studies that have concluded developmental neuroscience
TEACHING READING IS ROCKET SCIENCE / 5 To understand printed language well enough to teach it explicitly requires disciplined study of its systems and forms, both spoken and written. Executive Summary T he most fundamental responsibility of schools is teaching students to read. Indeed, the future success
