The Pros And Cons Of Learning Disabilities

There also appears to be “no routine or systematic procedure for identifying adults with learning disabilities at any point in the criminal justice system” (Talbot 2007),meaning that when they do arrive in prison they are predominately more likely to be victimised than other prisoners and are consequently unable to access prison information routinely. Most importantly, “their exclusion from offending behaviour programmes in particular makes it less likely that their offending behaviour will be addressed and it is more likely that they will return to prison again and again”. (Talbot 2007 p.45).

A child with learning problems may be many developmental years behind their peers, this will have a big impact on what they can do in all areas of development including physical skills, social skills and intellectual skills. They may find it especially hard to interact with children of the same age or stay interested in conversation. They may also need to have one-to-one lessons at school to help educate them as they may not be at the same cognitive stage as peers. This may leave them feeling left out.

If a student has a learning disability that should be immediately addressed by perhaps sending those students for one hour to a special need class at the school or getting permission from the parent to provide him or her with tutorial on certain days, if it is necessary this show that the

First, Rather than focusing on the child's learning deficiencies, emphasize and reward the child’s strengths and encourage them to find new interest and hobbies. Second it is important to meet with the child's teachers, tutors, and school support personnel to understand performance levels, and attitude toward school. After the student has been evaluated they are now eligible for special education services. Special education services are provided to student to work with a team of professionals, including your child's teacher, to develop an Individualized Education Program. The individualized education program is created to provide a summary of child’s current education and future goals within education. Children with learning disabilities need to know that they are loved and that they are not dumb. They need to know that they are intelligent normal people who just have trouble learning because their mind process words and information differently. Students with learning disabilities are just like every other student they just need more focus on certain learning

Other children with mild learning disability can grow up to be independent. Also, a child can have a specific learning difficulty in reading, writing or understanding what is said to them, but have no problem with learning skills in other areas of life. A child who has learning difficulties should be encouraged to develop in all areas to the best of their ability and as much as they can. Health If a child suffers from poor health or a physical disability or impairment, this may affect their developmental opportunities. For example, a child who has a medical condition or impairment may be less able to participate in some activities than other children. This may initially affect physical development, but may also restrict social activities, for example, on the playground. The child’s emotional development may also be affected, depending on their awareness of their needs and the extent to which they are affected. External Factors: Poverty and deprivation: Poverty and deprivation are likely to have a significant effect on pupil development. Statistics show that children who come from deprived backgrounds are less likely to thrive and achieve well in school, as parents will find it more difficult to manage their children’s needs, which will in turn impact on all areas of their development. These will all affect the way in which pupils are able to respond to different situations. Looked after/care status: If a child is looked

Whether at home or at school, children are disciplined when they misbehave, in order to learn how their behavior affects others, to learn self control and to learn techniques to manage their behavior. In school, students are expected to follow building and classroom rules. When they don’t, there are consequences. It looks as if students with disabilities are being disciplined at a rate that is inconsistent with their peers. “A report by UCLA’s Civil Rights Project released earlier this year found that just over 5 percent of elementary school children with disabilities were suspended during the 2011-12 school year, more than double the overall suspension rate,” (http://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2015/07/school-discipline-children-disabilities/399563/). The report, in the July 24, 2015 issue of the magazine, found that for secondary school students, the average was 10 percent overall, while 18 percent of students with disabilities were suspended in this age group.

Schools that receive federal funding are required to educate all students. This principle extends to students with disabilities as well. This means that no matter the severity or nature of the disability. The state education departments of each state is responsible for locating, identifying, and evaluating all children up to the age of 21

When you think of overcoming challenges in life, think of a game of baseball. The pitcher throws a player a curve ball, but he doesn't know until the pitch is thrown. Just like you, you have no clue what challenge is coming your way next. Your life could be flawless, but at the last minute, just like a curve ball; it changes. The curve ball represents the challenge, I encounter every day of my life; learning how to manage with a learning disability. Attention Deficit Disorder "ADD."

There are many children in the United States who were born with an intellectual disability. A child with an intellectual disability means he or she develops and learns more slowly than children without. There can be various types of intellectual disabilities in children, such as Autism, Down-Syndrome, ADHD and etc. These children receive special support from caregivers to help live an everyday life. Studies show that rates of abuse are higher in children with intellectual disabilities. Children with an intellectual disability are at a higher risk for child abuse than children without.

Background: Children and adults with learning disabilities are at risk to drop out of school which can then lead them to commit criminal acts compared to people without learning disabilities. This study reviews the effect of learning disabilities in adults and children primarily. Method: Longitudinal and correlationals studies were conducted on students with learning disabilities. Results: Eight studies were included in this research. Correlationals studies showed positive correlation between learning disabilities and violent delinquency. Another correlation study showed that children without learning disabilities did better in math compared to children with learning disabilities. A longitudinal study showed that children with learning disabilities

Learning disabilities (LD) is a factor in committing criminal acts. Learning disabilities has become a pipeline to prison. Children with learning disabilities are in higher risks of committing violent delinquency such as truancy, property delinquency, tobacco use and marijuana use. In a study conducted by Bonnie Doren in 2014 show that children with learning disabilities are more likely to drop out of high school compared to those children without learning disabilities. The people that suffer are themselves, their family, and society when children with learning disabilities are sent to jail for committing felonies and misdemeanors. They suffer because they run a higher risk in committing a criminal act and when they do, they are deprived from

Our society has an expectation of a child’s progression through life. That is, they listen to their parents, go to school, study hard, go to college or a trade school, and work hard until retirement. What happens with the children that are struggling in school? Well, some of them go to prison. In our nation, public school is the primary source of education; society has taken on the responsibility of educating the youth of this nation. Therefore, we only have ourselves to blame when an undereducated or uneducated youth is arrested and is incarcerated. I argue that our failure to properly address the special needs of our diverse learning disabled children leads to poor school performance, and in a high number of cases juvenile delinquency. Unfortunately, the learning disability rate among delinquent youth is between 30% and 50%, this is in contrast to the number of special education students represented in public school, which is 10% nationally.

Through my experience thus far I have been able to grasp an overall understanding of the schools demographic as well as my students. The school is a Title1 and is a very low socioeconomic status. The neighborhood surrounding the school is very worn down and the students coming from those parts of the neighborhood have more hardship than any child should ever have. In my second grade classroom, we have a majority of ELL’s coming from Spanish-speaking homes. As I have been observing my Cooperating teachers ' students’ that she looped with from first grade to second grade, she has been providing me with insight on some non-academic disabilities that one of our students suffers with. Although it is not technically considered a learning disability it prevents them from accomplishing tasks at the same rate as our other students’. A little girl suffers from Muscular Dystrophy, which is very hard on her physically to keep up with the class while they complete writing or activities that require cutting and pasting. She is currently on a 504 plan for her M.S. but ,has been able to achieve core level on her DIBELS testing for fluency, worse per minute and accuracy and comprehension. There has been growth in her academics but, falls behind on most assignments. There are many different learning levels in our classroom, which I will intend on making accommodations and modifications to achieve a Universal Design for Learning.

Children with disabilities tend to have severe struggles and problems that can impact their daily lives, personal growth, and education. Disabilities are restrictions due to impairment that can prevent a person from performing an activity in a way that would be considered normal for several others in that developmental stage. One of the many disabilities, which can be considered rare, is deafness or hard-of-hearing. Majority of children are born deaf even if they have hearing parents due to genetic reasons of complications during pregnancy. A premature baby also has the chance of losing their hearing because they are prone to diseases and serious infections which can be a leading cause of deafness. This disability can lead to delayed language, speech development, communication and cognitive skills; which can later influence a low-self esteem, isolation, learning difficulties, and behavior problems.

Ages 40 to 64 years old as well as 85 years old and older make up over 50% of the reported cases, which is a staggering number and also leaves a questionable gap within the age groups 65-75 years old as well as 75-84 years old. Throughout my literature reivew I was unable to get a well-defined explaination of why there was a drop in occurances of maltreatment in that specific age group. The same study that was conducted by the Minnesota Department of Human Services revealed that 43 percent of cases reported were due to caregiver neglect; 19 percent self-neglect; 15 percent financial exploitation; 11 percent physical abuse; 9 percent were emotional/mental abuse; and 3 percent sexual abuse (MN Department of Human Services, 2015).
