Disability Affecting Development

Learning disabilities that show the students along their educational process have been studied from multiple perspectives and conceptual frameworks have generated several explanatory models. The concept of learning problems are very large and, for the purpose of this page deliberately broad. Its meaning would encompass any significant difficulty for a student to find learning to keep pace with their age mates. Mentally handicapped students, those with sensory impairments and those with delays in a particular field, such as reading, mathematics, would fall within this group, but not exhausted.

In the learning situation there are large numbers of factors which interactively determine specific performance confluence learning: learning activities, learning characteristics, the nature of the materials and task-criterion (Bee, 2006, 108).

From 3years onwards, the child starts investigating the surrounding environment but has a limited and appears essential characteristic self-centeredness. At this stage, there is also the socialization process while cognitive, emotional and moral. The preschool child is able to use the word to express mental symbols and, this is needed to understand concepts, objectives. Typical activities of children of this age are imitation, play and drawing.
