The Bottom Line On Learning Disabilities
( 50 articles in this series )
Can
a Communication Disorder
Trigger Learning Disabilities?
Could you ever imagine not being able to communicate
very important ideas or needs? Are there far too many distrctions
for you to concentrate on what you are doing? There is a very
good possiblity that you are suffering with a cause of a learning
disability. Not being able to express wants and needs is very
common in those with learning disabilities.
Many times when someone is unable
to communicate properly,
and cannot get the needed information out, it is a direct result
of some form of learning disability. When someone has a learning
disability, many times they cannot make sense of numbers or
letters. They do not make sense in sentences or even in simple
word formation. This may not be a case where you would need
to imagine what it would be like. Many people these days seem
to have some sort or disorder that impedes the learning process.
It may be the case that you are a parent or teacher of someone
who has a disability, or you may have one yourself. The lack
of communication from a person with a known learning disability,
is not a new situation for them. This has been mowing along
practically since birth. Without the help of trained professionals
this condition can only get worse.
Communication is one of the most fundamental skills that a
person can and should develop. Many times however, for some,
this is not as easy to accomplish. Learning disabilities
interfere with the basic transfer of information to the brain, when you
have a condition such as this finding the words to express
yourself can be near impossible sometimes.
It is now understandable where the correlation between lack
of communication and a learning disability meet. The notion
that it should be easy for someone to communicate when they
need to, has now been proven to not be the case. If you have
a learning disability, your basic language and sentence set
up are in fact impeded. You do not have a sense of understanding
how or why a particular portion of the sentence fits into another,
to form a communicative dialog. This without question is the
direct work of developmental stalling. If for some reason the
disability has gone unattended to while the person was young
and still in school, it will result in the person pretty much
failing at anything they attempt in life. This will include
work, friendships, marital relationships or just general survival
within society. Being able to communicate is esential to the
continual growth and development of the human being. If the
person is however, treated at a young age. This may be an opertunity
for then to at least stand a fighting chance, in making a productive
go at the real world. There are many methods to treat a learning
disorder including special education, medication, and sometimes
small workshops that have on hand professionals that help people
through the trials and tribulations of these conditions.
To assume that a lack in communication skills, is not indeed
a learning disability, would be foolish. The idea that someone
cannot express views or ideas about how they feel or what they
want is in fact a hinderance to them. This is a disorder. When
is it determined that there may be a lack in communication?
The most obvious time would be when the person is a child.
When the child is at home prior to entering public education
systems, is when these disorders first show. An observant parent
can pick up on small tonal changes and or the lack of solid
sentence structure from the child. If the child is of age,
and in all rights should have a least some of the language
spoken at home down to the point that they can ask for what
they want or notify the parent that they may need something.
This is where a parent will notice it most. Albeit the fact
that there are many words that young children cannot say, as
it is a roll of the tongue or a particular way the lips move,
the basic words should not be an issue. Nor should simple sentence
structure. If you feel that your child is just not grasping
the language or is having troubles with word recongnition consult
a specialist, as chances are there is an underlying learning
disability.
