 READINESS
Readiness implies a degree of single-mindedness
and eagerness.
Individuals learn best when they are physically,
mentally, and emotionally ready to learn, and they
do not learn well if they see no reason for learning.
Getting students ready to learn, creating interest
by showing the value of the subject matter, and
providing continuous mental or physical
challenge, is usually the instructor’s responsibility.
If students have a strong purpose, a clear
objective, and a definite reason for learning
something, they make more progress than if they
lack motivation.
The terms learning readiness and school readiness
were derived from educational reforms and the
outcomes from model early childhood programs.
Learning readiness is the observable traits that
indicate young children are ready to receive early
academic instruction.
The term learning readiness is associated with
school readiness. However, learning readiness and
school readiness refer to different aspects of early
learning and education.
School readiness refers to the wide range of the
skills children need to acquire to enter and to be
successful in a school setting. Learning readiness
indicates young children’s ability to receive
purposeful instruction.
LACK OF SCHOOL’S FACILITIES

The lack of facilities for special needs Moreover, there is also a need for more
education students is a major challenge technology & assistive devices for
that needs to be overcome. children and adolescents with special
needs.
It exists in a form of infrastructural barrier
& the absence of special devices. It will enable them to learn and participate
in school.
A school building need to be in a universal
design so that it can improve the
educational environment for the students,
especially for those who are with physical
impairment.
 LACK OF RESOURCES
Resources are important in providing
educational opportunities to students with
learning disabilities.
Various types of resources are needed to
help students with disabilities to learn like
normal students.
For example, lacking of teacher with skill
in sign language. The lack of teachers who
can sign language will be a barrier to
communicating with dumb students.
The lack of teachers with sign language
skills indicates that human resources are
insufficient to accommodate the number
of students with learning disabilities.
Financial resources are also needed as
funds to provide appropriate equipment
for their learning.
Contradictory teaching practices for
students with hearing impairment.
 INADEQUATE OF APPROPRIATE
INSTRUCTIONAL MATERIALS
Appropriate teaching and learning materials
play an important role in providing quality
educational opportunities to students with
learning disabilities and it will increase their
achievement together with proper interventions.
There are several issues that contribute to the
inadequacy of appropriate teaching materials.
First, teachers' understanding is less aligned
with the course content with the concept of
learning disabilities in depth. Second, students
with hearing impairment are burdened with a
syllabus that exceeds the limits of student
ability. Finally, teaching training that specializes
in special education areas is lacking.
Next, it is challenging to provide adequate of
appropriate teaching materials for each type of
learning disabilities. Every learning disability that
students have is different. There are dyslexia,
dyscalculia, autism, hearing impairments, deaf-
blindness, and so on.
The lack of teaching and learning materials that
specialize in each type of learning disability will be a
challenge for teachers to teach.
In fact, the lack of teaching and learning materials
owned by parents also affects the learning process of
students with learning disabilities to study at home.
Therefore, the inadequate of it needs to be
emphasized by the Malaysian Ministry of Education
so that the education of students with learning
disabilities is also maintained.
