After a child is diagnosed with a learning disability, it’s assumed this will greatly affect their ability to learn. In some sense it may be true, but in another, this need not be the case. When diagnosed early enough, the effects of the child’s learning disability can be mitigated with the proper intervention strategies and the right education for both the child, parent, and educator.

If you have noticed your child is not speaking as scheduled, there is no need to be alarmed. Speech and language development in children is progressive but the schedule of development is not strict. One child may speak slightly earlier and be more developed than another but it could just mean they are developing at a different pace and is to be expected.

Managing a roomful of children can often be very difficult. It can be chaotic and stressful at times. For parents and educators managing a roomful of children with special needs, this can be very challenging as it may require extra patience, knowledge, and skills to accommodate the different needs of the students under their care.

For parents, it can be tough to raise a child who misbehaves. The hardest part is the day-to-day living. From waking them up in the morning, getting them out to school on time, ensuring their homework is done and hoping you don’t have to fetch your kid from the principal’s office, it can be nerve-racking.

Adaptive living skills, also known as life skills, refer to a wide range of abilities that enable individuals to function independently and effectively in their daily lives. Proper life skills instructions are immeasurably important for students with disabilities. The knowledge and skill interactions believed to be essential for adult independent living should be met at an early age for Special Needs students. These students require the proper education and support to learn these necessary behaviours.
