Children with learning disability can be a little difficult to manage because of their specific needs and wants. They live in the world of their own and neither do they subscribe to the ways of our world, nor are they much interested in it. They simply don't understand the world other than the one they build inside themselves. It is the loss of communication thread, the loss of connection that makes the child build a world within himself or herself. It is normally because the child feels isolated and lonely. Let that not happen. The children with learning disability would often find it difficult to develop minor motor skills like using scissors and painting or even handling a paint brush properly...

The competitive nature of modern society makes it imperative for all people to be well versed in three very basic constituents of education-reading, writing and mathematics.

Signs of Autism
Pervasive developmental disorder is considered one of the sub-types under Autism. Many medical professionals believe that Autism is a result of a left brain dysfunction. Left brain dysfunction leads to problems in communication and behavior. These problems are usually found together. Parents usually notice problems around three years of age. This happens so often that three years of age seems to be a milestone age. It also seems to be a milestone age for the traits associated with this disability.

Basically the diagnosis of Autism is considered after...

However, physical exercise has been shown to greatly improve the lives of autistic children and to improve their behaviour as well.

Caregivers
If you look up caregiver in the dictionary, it is defined as someone who gives direct care. The example given was someone who cares for the chronically ill, or for children. Since I teach special education children (K-22yrs old) about moving their bodies, then I would qualify as a caregiver. I feel a great deal of pride in being called a caregiver, even though our society does not seem to value the importanceof what we are doing with monetary remuneration. Teachers and nurses who are primary caregivers, are usually at the bottom rung of the ladder when it comes to salaries, so I know firsthand most of us did not go into it for the money. (Doctors fare much better with their standard of living...

How do I bring up this child? Is a frequently asked question by many parents who come face to face with a child with disability. The problem starts when the doctor announces that the child has a disability. The first reaction of the parent is denial,” my child is not disabled, the doctor made a mistake”. The grandparents add to this saying some uncle or aunty was like this but then they became normal. So there is no need for anxiety. Everything will become normal. But when there is no improvement the next step is to shop around for a cure from pillar to post. Parents refuse to listen to the doctors’ suggestions. Parents expect some miracle and after shopping around ends up either with over...
