Introduction

Students all around the world strive to achieve their goals and excel academically. Unfortunately, then there are those students which struggle on a daily basis with their grades and academic who has conditions like ADHD or Scoliosis. Their peers and teachers alike fail to understand their conditions and ridicule them (McMahan, 2011).

Discussion

Generally, students with conditions such as ADHD or Scoliosis are generally regarded as back benchers or often ridiculed by their peers and teachers, as their conditions are hard to detect at times.

What the people to fail to realize is this that the student has a chemical imbalance which makes their concentration span limited making them fall behind the class schedule.

Scoliosis

“On the other hand, Scoliosis is another condition which has affected many children, but the reason for this medical ailment is not known but it said to be an abnormal curvature of the spine”! (Stier, 2010) Scoliosis involves a three-dimensional deformity (the state of being deformed) of the spiral column and some of the spinal bones may rotate the spinal bones may rotate slightly; making hips of shoulders appear uneven. It may develop as a single primary side to a lesser curve (resembling the letter c) and later on results into an S shaped curve, which can cause severe physical impairment and spasms.
