Learning
Disability
The neurological conditions
that affects learning impairs
the ability of a children with
disabilities when it comes to
sending and receiving
messages, and processing
information.
A child with a learning
disability may have difficulties
in reading, writing, speaking,
listening, understanding
mathematical concepts, and
with general comprehension.
Educational Issues Involving
Children with Disabilities.
Children with impairments have traditionally
been separated from the main education
system and placed in "special schools."

In certain situations, kids are taken from their

families and placed in long-term residential
facilities where, if they are schooled at all,
they are educated in isolation from the
community. (UNESCO, 2017)
Legal Aspects:
Educational Issues
Involving Children with
Disabilities.

Special education regulations ensure that

disabled students have access to the resources,
assessments, and assistance within an
institutional framework, as well as the right to fair
and adequate learning experiences.
I.D.E.A.
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act

The Individuals with Disabilities Education

Act (IDEA) is a statute that provides a free
adequate public education to qualifying
children with disabilities across the
country, as well as special education and
related services.
IEP'S
Individualized Education Program

Students who need extra help and support in

school may be eligible for special education
services in the form of an individualized
education program (IEP). This program is
offered free of charge to families of kids in
public schools and outlines the goals and any
support services that may be needed for a
child to succeed in school.
The Right To Learn
Alongside Peers with
Disabilities.

The right of special needs children to a

"least-restrictive environment," or LRE,
is a fundamental element of IDEA.

The LRE concept states that a kid's

support team decides where he or she
will spend his or her time throughout
the school day as well as how the child
will receive assistance.

This learning environment should

provide a kid with as many
opportunities to learn as possible
among classmates who do not have
impairments.
Access to Special
Tools and Services to
Promote Success.

Special education
legislation ensures
that special education
students have access
to supplemental aids
and services that help
them study.

cost to families. However, families do have to pay the same extra school fees.

A is for appropriate.
Appropriate means that kids who qualify get an Individualized Education Program (IEP)
with services to meet their unique needs. Other students with disabilities may get a 504
plan that gives equal access to learning.

or FAPE.
P is for public.
Public means supervised by the public school. An IEP team — teachers, parents, and
others — decides what services and support the student gets. In a few cases, the
government may pay for kids with disabilities to attend private school.

E is for education.
Education can include special education. It can also include related services, like
speech therapy, counseling, or even transportation. The goal is for kids to make
progress in school and be prepared for the future.

their offspring.
Developmental Changes:
Gifted Children.
Emotions and emotional development

If your child is gifted and talented, you might notice that

they have very strong emotions, interests and opinions
compared with other children their age. Sometimes gifted
and talented children have trouble managing these strong
feelings.
Developmental Changes:
Gifted Children.
Social development and skills

Gifted children can think faster and/or more deeply than other
children their age. So they’re often good at imagining what it’s
like to be in somebody else’s situation.

Sometimes these qualities mean your gifted and talented child

gets along well with others. Other times, it might seem like your
child doesn’t quite fit in with children their own age.
Developmental Changes:
Gifted Children.
Behaviour

Like all children, gifted and talented children can behave

in challenging ways sometimes. But their challenging
behaviour can happen for particular reasons.
For example, it can happen because they:
are quick to question family rules and routines
are easily frustrated
need challenging learning opportunities.
Domain-Specific:
Gifted Children.
Giftedness.
Intellectual giftedness is defined as intellectual capacity that
is considerably above average.

When compared to others their age, experience, or

environment, gifted children display an advanced
aptitude or potential in one or more specialised areas.

These exceptional individuals excel in their capacity to

think, reason, and judge, necessitating the provision of
particular educational programs and assistance in order
for them to completely achieve their potential and skills.
