Learning Disability Nursing

Introduction

Since school attendance has become an obligation, the living and the technological and scientific progress has been made in a runaway. For normal performance in school and university, an individual will need a normal development and proper functioning of the entire visual system, both sensory and motor. There are several visual problems that are responsible for delay in the normal performance in school and university age. Many of these students have signs and symptoms that are very often confused with dyslexia.

These children falsely labeled as "dyslexics" suffer:

- At school, due to pressure from teachers, psychologists and the ridicule of their own comrades.

- In his own home, pressure from parents and siblings because of bad grades. This pressure becomes sooner or later punishment of all kinds.

- In society, the social burden because all these people come to represent.

The problem children faces related to eyes is termed as dyslexia. Even in the third child, when dyslexia is recognized, the child may have vision problems. However, they are treatable problems. Dyslexia is a disorder manifested by difficulty in learning reading and writing for children, committing spelling errors, problems with memory and other factors affecting the efficiency of learning. Most scientists look for the causes of the problem in disorders of the brain or genetic factors. There are also some who believe dyslexia as bogus teachers, not supported by convincing research material.

Analysis of the Problem

It is believed that in UK there are about 6 million dyslexics. Students with known disease are specially treated during the lessons and tests in school. Meanwhile, scientists prove that the problems with reading and writing many children may actually be due to visual difficulties, which hamper the vision for a short distance.

Doctors at the clinic, "Tinsley Mouse Clinic" in Hampshire, treating behavioral problems and learning difficulties in children, found that many of their young patients who are diagnosed with dyslexia, suffer from problems with vision, consisting of insufficient convergence of images from each eye. This is a fairly common problem with the vision of two eyes.

Researchers estimate that this problem can affect approximately 30% of children with diagnosed dyslexia. Most importantly, this is good news, because problems with the lack of convergence can be treated with eye exercises, available eg in the form of computer programs who use the images in 3D (lmasi, Gambrell, 1994).

Successive UK governments have had a commitment to improve the health of the nation, and in doing so, the focus has been to shift delivery of care from hospitals and institutions into the community. Care for the majority of people starts at home; however, over the years, the alternative for the person with a learning disability was institutional care.

A problem of learning is a term generally describing problems of learning specific. A problem of learning can cause a person to have trouble learning and using certain skills. The skills that are affected most often are: reading, spelling, listening, speaking, reasoning, and mathematics. The problems of learning (in English, "learning disabilities, LD) vary among people...
