Learning Disabilities among Students: Impediments within the Course of Achievement of Educational Goals

Abstract

In educational institutions of all levels, the students, belonging to all grade levels experience learning disabilities. These are experienced in terms of acquiring an efficient understanding in terms of various types of academic subjects. These are experienced in a major or minor form. These would give rise to impediments within the course of academic learning and achievement of educational goals. The students experience the different types of learning disabilities in some cases in the initial stage of learning, but when they get enrolled in higher educational institutions, they are able to overcome learning disabilities. The students are required to augment their knowledge and understanding in terms of various types of methodologies and approaches that would be facilitating in overcoming learning disabilities. The family and community members are required to provide help and support that would be facilitating in overcoming learning disabilities. The family members are the first and foremost individuals, who make provision of support, whereas, community members are, medical practitioners, health care specialists and professional counsellors. These individuals impart information in terms of methods and procedures, which would be favourable to the students in overcoming various types of learning disabilities. Therefore, these are regarded as impediments within the course of achievement of educational goals and need to be overcome. The main concepts that are taken into account in this research paper are, types of learning disabilities, measures to be implemented in overcoming learning disabilities and effects of learning disabilities.
