Understanding Learning Disabilities

Science Daily reports that about two to three students in every classroom (up to 10% of all children) have some type of learning disability, and many have several disabilities. The study says, for example, that children who are hyperactive often struggle with dyslexia and about eleven percent of them have dyscalculia. The research was completed in order to offer a better “understanding of how individual differences in brain development interact with formal education” and how such knowledge can help adapt learning to the needs of the students, which may be achieved through use of technologies.
