Specific Learning Disorder
Specific Learning Disorder
Learning disabilities are neurodevelopmental in nature, and they affect the capacity to acquire, process, and apply academic skills, resulting in difficulties with various different cognitive functions. These problems are not due to a lack of intelligence or effort, but rather differences in how the brain inherently processes information. The following are three categories of SLD:
It is a type of learning disability that mostly impacts writing abilities. This difficulty is caused by issues with fine motor abilities and spatial planning. When it comes to writing assignments, people with dysgraphia may sense irritation and low self confidence.
They could demonstrate:
- Handwriting issues
- Spelling issues
- Difficulty organising thoughts on paper
Intervention Techniques:
- Specialised Instruction: Our experts provide targeted instruction to improve handwriting legibility, letter formation and spacing.
- Strategies for spelling and grammar, to boost language and grammar proficiency
- Occupational Therapy: It works on improving fine motor skills and spatial planning to improve writing abilities
Dyscalculia and Dyslexia are also Specific Learning Disorders.
Dyscalculia is a learning impairment that impacts mathematics skills, people who suffer from dyscalculia may struggle to understand numbers, being unable to perform mathematical operations or grasp mathematical concepts. They would struggle with number awareness and have issues in school.
Common signs of dyscalculia include:
- Difficulty understanding numbers and mathematical concepts
- Challenges with mental mathematics and problem solving
- Trouble with sequencing and organising mathematical steps
Intervention Techniques at Marga:
- Individualised maths instruction: Our educators develop personalised maths programs to address specific learning needs and work to fill any gaps that appear in understanding.
- Multi-Sensory Approaches: Visual aids, interactive activities and other manipulatives are brought in to reinforce understanding of concepts.
- Cognitive strategies: Our therapists teach problem solving techniques and memory strategies to enhance mathematical reasoning and performance.
Dysgraphia and Dyslexia are also Specific Learning Disorders.
Dyslexia is a type of learning disorder that usually impacts reading abilities. These issues stem from language skill deficiencies. Dyslexia can affect not only academic performance, but also a client’s sense of self-esteem.
Common signs of dyslexia include:
- Difficulty with accurate and fluent word recognition
- Challenges with decoding, reading comprehension and spelling
- Trouble understanding written instructions
Intervention Techniques at Marga:
- Structured educational instruction: Our team of educators provides specialised instruction in phonics, decoding and reading comprehension strategies.
- Phonological awareness training We focus on developing sound-letter associations and improving phonemic awareness skills.
- Reading comprehension strategies: Our experts teach techniques to improve understanding, such as making connections, visualising, summarising, etc.
- Assistive technology tools: We utilise assistive technology resources, such as text-to-speech software, digital books, to facilitate reading and comprehension.
