Abstract :
Learning disabilities affect the child from a variety of angles- but mostly, self-esteem and self-confidence. Learning Disability is a neurological condition that is beyond the control of the individual. Such a student is more normal than different. The degrees of Learning Disability are mild, moderate, and severe. Learning Disability creates a gap between a person’s ability and performance caused by an alternation in the way information is processed. Negative experiences in the school, especially in terms of learning incapacity can leave long lasting scars of being demeaned, belittled, or accused of being disruptive as they struggled to understand what was being taught. Thus, Learning Disability is a term used to denote a neurological handicap that interferes with a person’s ability to receive, process, store, and retrieve information. Problems associated with Learning Disabilities can be categorised under Behavior Problems, Emotional Problems, Family background and so on. Learning Disabilities are majorly seen under three types as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia and Dyscalculia. This paper suggests the Inclusive strategies and Technology Integration to make the learning easy and effective among the students with Learning Disabilities.
