Learning Disabilities tend to stay for life. Remedial teaching teaches children “coping skills” so that the child is able to function despite the learning disabilities. As a learning-disabled child grows, he becomes more aware of his shortcomings and this causes frustration. Added to this is the fact that as children grow, they become less accepting. They look to form groups with children who have the same abilities and themselves. They become more aware of “differences”.

With age come challenges that are more and more difficult to handle using coping mechanisms. Things that normal adults take for granted have to be carefully thought through. Getting emotionally involved with another person and starting a relationship could be deadly for a learning-disabled person who is not able to cope with the uncertainties of emotions. Many a tragic story has been written and many a tragic movie has been made of learning-disabled people trying to make their way in the world.

Learning disabilities are varied in form and severity. They usually affect how a person thinks, talks, hears, reads and writes. These problems impact how you process thoughts and perform tasks such as reading (dyslexia), mathematics (dyscalculia), writing (dysgraphia), and so on. Since we use these skills everyday, you will have to find ways of coping with daily tasks.

Learning disabilities, just like physical disabilities, call for a lot of patience on your part. The difference lies in the fact that most physical disabilities are visible and therefore obvious to the person as well as their companions. Learning disabilities are subtle and can be quite difficult for bosses and coworkers to pick up. There are many moments of frustration that you will need to be overcome. It is important to identify and then assess the limits of your disability, especially as you enter the workforce.

It is important for you to understand and recognize the limitations that your learning disability imposes on you. At the same time, it is important not to use the learning disability as a crutch and to live life to its fullest and perform as best you can on the job despite the disability.

Life with a learning disability is a challenge – but it is not a lost cause. As with a physical disability, one has to learning coping skills to compensate for the lack of physical ability – so it is with a learning disability. Given below are some common coping skills that you can use, if you have a learning disability:

*Set up a routine in your life. It could be a daily routine from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. Listing routine tasks and posting them in a prominent position can be of immense help. Working according to a set schedule brings in a routine that is a comfort zone for you.

*Avoid stressful situations. The additional stress of high emotions can make it more difficult for you as a learning-disabled person to cope with a situation.

*Avoid noise and confusion. Surrounding noise, confusion and tension make it difficult for a learning-disabled person to concentrate on the task on hand.

*Ensure you get adequate rest. People with learning disabilities find it more difficult to cope with routine tasks if they are tired.

*In a prominent place, list all the emergency contact numbers you may require. You should even carry these numbers with you at all times.

*Lead a healthy lifestyle. This includes proper rest schedules, eating healthy food and eating on time, abstaining for all mood altering substance and, getting sufficient exercise.

A learning disability is a disability that you can cope with, even in your professional life. It is a disability that will allow you to lead an independent and productive life. It is a surmountable problem. Be aware of your problem, be informed about your problem and then live life within the confines of your problem. Live life to the fullest!

Disability and Impairment $35 Disability and Impairment introduces professionals working with families to the everyday issues faced by disabled people of all ages in family life. Peter C Burke shows how social attitudes shape the world of the 'disabled family' either positively or negatively and the effects of stigma. He demonstrates the normality of disability – that children are children whatever their label – and the need for a sensitive professional understanding of the impact of both physical and learning disabilities on family members, in order to improve their quality of life. This book covers the spectrum of disability issues, and offers information and advice for professionals working with families and disability, explaining the value of family support, how to validate the feelings of siblings with disabled brothers and sisters, tackling social exclusion and understanding the role of lifelong professional help. Case studies and practice notes make this an accessible reference for social work students and practitioners.

The authors present many case studies and point out perceived shortcomings, along with suggestions to improve current social care practice and promote the welfare of children in need. This will prove to be an invaluable source of information for all social workers and other professionals working with someone who is both a parent and has a learning disability.

Bilingual Children’s Metalinguistic Awareness $86.65 Although some studies claim that all bilingual children attain meta-linguistic awareness (MLA) earlier than monolinguals, others suggest that such an advantage does not occur, or is only found for balanced bilinguals, or on certain types of tasks. However,the majority of these studies investigated bilingual children who spoke typologically related languages, and with tests administered in only one of the two languages.Therefore, this book examines whether relative language typology or language of testing affects the bilingual advantage in MLA.The book critically reviewed and compared studies that investigated MLA in monolinguals and bilinguals. Then it empirically tested the MLA of young English monolinguals and Arabic-English bilinguals.The analysis should broaden our understanding of how bilingualism may affect young children’s MLA in two dissimilar languages This book is useful for educators in bilingual education, and researchers who want to replicate the findings with other subjects speaking typologically dissimilar languages.

Finally, the practical and theoretical implications of the experimental findings are examined.brpSince the publication of the first edition, a vast amount of new research has been published on how the psychological development of children is affected by disability.

Defying Disability $36.95 ' …a fascinating insight into the lives of nine people who overcame the potential disadvantage of disability to achieve recognition, change and national acclaim. The story of motivation and unstoppable determination reflected by the lives of each of these disabled leaders is inspiring. The book is admirable in describing the power of the human spirit when not accepting limitations imposed by others, to strive beyond possible expectations. It paves the way forward in recognizing the rights and abilities of all disabled people.'. – Peter Burke, Senior Lecturer in the Department of Social Sciences, Hull University, and author of Disability and Impairment: Working with Children and Families and Brothers and Sisters of Disabled Children. This book tells the stories of nine disabled leaders who, by force of personality and concrete achievement, have made us think differently about disability. Whatever direction they have come from, they share a common will to change society so that disabled people get a fair deal. There are compelling biographies of:. · Sir Bert Massie: public servant. · Lord (Jack) Ashley: Labour politician. · Rachel Hurst: activist and campaigner. · Tom Shakespeare: academic. · Phil Friend: entrepreneur and business consultant. · Peter White: broadcaster. · Mat Fraser: actor, musician and performer. · Andrew Lee: activist and campaigner. · Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson: Paralympic champion. Defying Disability is based on extensive interviews with the subjects and the people who know them. It marks their similarities and differences, the forces that drove them to achieve, the impact they have had on policies and practice, and how the modern history of disability in the UK has been played out in their lives. Defying Disability is not just a good read; it will inform professionals in the field, students in disability studies, disabled people, their families and carers, and everyone in

Distinguishing Disability $19 Students in special education programs can have widely divergent experiences. For some, special education amounts to a dumping ground where schools unload their problem students, while for others, it provides access to services and accommodations that drastically improve chances of succeeding in school and beyond. Distinguishing Disability argues that this inequity in treatment is directly linked to the disparity in resources possessed by the students’ parents. Since the mid-1970s, federal law has empowered parents of public school children to intervene in virtually every aspect of the decision making involved in special education. However, Colin Ong-Dean reveals that this power is generally available only to those parents with the money, educational background, and confidence needed to make effective claims about their children’s disabilities and related needs. Ong-Dean documents this class divide by examining a wealth of evidence, including historic rates of learning disability diagnosis, court decisions, and advice literature for parents of disabled children. In an era of expanding special education enrollment, Distinguishing Disability is a timely analysis of the way this expansion has created new kinds of inequality.

Choosing Children: Genes, Disability, and Design $12.33 Progress in genetic and reproductive technology now offers us the possibility of choosing what kinds of children we do and don’t have. Should we welcome this power, or should we fear its implications? There is no ethical question more urgent than this: we may be at a turning-point in the history of humanity. The renowned moral philosopher and best-selling author Jonathan Glover shows us how we might try to answer this question, and other provoking and disturbing questions to which it leads.brbrSurely parents owe it to their children to give them the best life they can? Increasingly we are able to reduce the number of babies born with disabilities and disorders. But there is a powerful new challenge to conventional thinking about the desirability of doing so: this comes from the voices of those who have these conditions. They call into question the very definition of disability. How do we justify trying to avoid bringing people like them into being?brbrIn 2002 a deaf couple used sperm donated by a friend with hereditary deafness to have a deaf baby: they took the view that deafness is not a disability, but a difference. Starting with the issues raised by this case, Jonathan Glover examines the emotive idea of eugenics, and the ethics of attempting to enhance people, for non-medical reasons, by means of genetic choices. Should parents be free, not only to have children free from disabilities, but to choose, for instance, the colour of their eyes or hair? This is no longer a distant prospect, but an existing power which we cannot wish away. What impact will such interventions have, both on the individuals concerned and on society as a whole?brbrShould we try to make general improvements to the genetic make-up of human beings? Is there a central core of human nature with which we must not interfere?brbrThis beautifully clear book is written for anyone who cares about the rights and wrongs of parents’ choices for their children, anyone who is concerned @(¨õÂ?\)ÿ¾Úx

They address the definition of disability, the new eugenics, human rights in local contexts, domestic and state citizenship of disabled people, and issues of identity and belonging.

The Awareness Of Man $20.26 This book contains some of the finest writings to come from John Henry Morel yet. In fact, we would doubt if there is anything more powerful than his essay on the evolution of man as discussed in this book. This book also includes several essays on working with higher intelligence and with magistrate level council beings that you will never find in any of his works, including verbage from Lord Khrishna, Jesus the Master, the Demi-Posits, Alpha Posits and more. In fact, you will not only discover direct dialogs with these heavenly beings, but in great detail, discourses between the author and their presences. The Demi-Posit verses are the most remarkable yet from this very high and almighty level of authority in this universe and beyond. There are adamant discussions about higher elementals and other types of sentient intelligence populating this universe and how they interact with man in his development and evolution as a species. The Awareness of Man holds keys for us all, young and old, but is especially relevant to those of us who need specific information on what is going on behind the scenes of all that we experience and all the we perceive. With regards to this author, pretty much nothing is outside of his scope of perception and analysis. He leaves a wide open threshold in his wake, welcoming us to follow with the greatest of ease and the most gentle encouragement. When all is said and done, this book holds some important keys and insights that none of his followers will want to miss. Published by Rodaian Press, Laguna Beach, California. Hardcover. About the Author John Henry Morel has written over thirty books in the field of higher metaphysics and adaptive psychology. He has written seminal works in the areas of meditation and enlightenment and is particularly known for his Hebrew series, Hebrew Mantras, Volumes 1-3 and Hebrew Geometries, Volumes 1-3. He has also written several children’s books, including Who Is Me? and Is It True. Mr. Morel@4B?\(õÃÿ¾Úx

The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities affirms the right of persons with disabilities to marry and found a family. Moreover, in Article 23, states are bound to take effective action and appropriate measures to eliminate discrimination… and …render appropriate assistance to persons with disabilities in the performance of their child-rearing responsibilities. The brutal reality however is that parents with intellectual disabilities rarely receive appropriate assistance and many have their children taken from them by child protection authorities. This book examines decision-making in child protection and court systems. Applying the discourse ethics of the contemporary German philosopher Jrgen Habermas, the author finds that with respect to parents with intellectual disabilities and their children, the process is anything but just.

Dilemmas of Difference, Inclusion and Disability $44.95 Education systems in developed countries have come to prioritise the raising of standards, while also pursuing some degree of social inclusion and inclusive schooling. However, these policies represent different and often conflicting values and approaches to education. Central to these moves has been the specific thrust to include more students with disabilities and special educational needs within general rather than specialist education. The basic dilemma is whether to recognise or not to recognise differences because either way there are negative implications associated with stigma, devaluation, rejection or denial of relevant opportunities. The dilemmas of difference relevant to children with disabilities are about:.:.; identification – whether to identify and how or not.; curriculum – how much of a common curriculum is relevant to them.; placement – to what extent they learn in ordinary/general schools and classes or not. Dilemmas of Difference, Inclusion and Disability integrates recent empirical research and includes an international case study that examines the perspectives of education practitioners and policy makers in specific school systems in the UK, USA and the Netherlands.

Reconstructing Motherhood and Disability in the Age of Perfect Babies $35.95 This ethnography by a noted anthropologist is a book about transformation, about the meanings mothers of imperfect children give to motherhood and disability in an age in which infants are commodified and technology seems to hold out the promise of perfect babies. In an era in which motherhood is achieved rather than ascribed (Ginsburg 1989), and specific traits of babies themselves increasingly appear to Americans in terms of choice, how do mothers of infants and toddlers with disabilities – the children few would actively choose – make sense of their motherhood? How do they interpret and negotiate the meaning of disability? How might their experience of nurturing a child who departs from what is understood to be species typical (Asch 1998:77) contribute to disability studies and disability activism, and to our understandings of how personhood is – and could be – constructed in America? An ideal short book for teaching courses in anthropology, sociology, disability studies and women’s studies.
