终身学习差异的观点

美国五分之一的人有学习差异(LD). Terms such as learning difference, learning disability, 甚至学习障碍都指的是我们所说的LD. 这 is not about intelligence, 尽管一个人会遇到挑战，尤其是在阅读方面, writing and math. 学习 differences can exist with other challenges such as problems with executive function, anxiety or even 注意力缺陷多动症. Individuals with LD also possess great strengths and the lists here include traits that are meant to help you understand LD over time; they are not meant to be a diagnostic tool.

Your Questions Answered

Can a 学习 Difference be “cured”?

学习 differences cannot be cured, but one can learn to live with and actually celebrate their conditions if they are aware of them. Each person is a unique individual with a combination of strengths and challenges. Learner variability can be supported at home and at school through self- awareness and self-advocacy. If not diagnosed, 有学习差异的人可能会感到焦虑, frustration and loss of self-esteem. 因此, when there are concerns, it is important to seek professional help and obtain an evaluation so that support can begin.

学习上的差异是否意味着我的孩子不聪明?

No. The opposite is true. Those with learning differences are typically bright and outgoing and simply have brains that are wired a particular way. Students with dyslexia, 例如, may be slow readers who are clever, creative problem-solvers in other areas. 学习差异通常存在于耶鲁大学的LD专家Dr. Sally Shaywitz calls “a sea of gifts.” Early evaluation is important so that the family and the child can begin on the path of self-awareness and self-advocacy and get back to a sense of wellbeing and empowerment.

How is a 学习 Difference Diagnosed?

When a family is concerned that a student’s progress in school could be the result of a learning difference, 与专业人士交谈是很重要的, beginning with the pediatrician. The pediatrician may refer the family to a learning and mental health group that can provide advice, 如果需要的话, 心理教育评估，以确定孩子如何学习. 这 评估可以包括一个包括心理学家在内的团队, 语言治疗师和职业治疗师. 一旦孩子的优势和挑战被确定, further recommendations can be made for the types of help that are right for the child at school and at home.
