Act by model

Hello... Hi... my beloved readers,
I am back again with discussion about Learning Difficulties as what we already discussed in the previous chapter. In this part we will discuss about the types of Learning Difficulties.

There are seven types of Learning Difficulties that might children have. Some children might have a type or probably more types of difficulties. It is based on the following problems of children have.

1. Talking and Listening LD; in this type, children have difficulties on Speech and language. Children might talking and listening, but they difficult to understand what people are saying. Usually they talk slowly or struggle with their words. And sometimes, they might not make the right sounds with their mouth. These children not dumb, they can hear sounds, but they hard to understand what the words mean. 
2. Reading LD;  in this type children have difficulties on reading. They might difficult to learning alphabet or sounding words. Sometimes they might not able to hear rhymes like "cat" and "hat". Sometimes, the letters and words seem to move on the page. These children have a hard time understanding what they read. 
3. Writing LD; in this type children have difficulties on writing. We can see that their handwriting is hard to read and probably very messy. They actually had many ideas on their head to write, but it is difficult for them to put it down on paper. 
4. Math LD; These children have difficulties in numbers. They do not understand what the numbers or symbols mean. They might have trouble memorizing math fact or lining up numbers. Even if they memorize how to do something in math, they do not understand what the answer means.
5. Organizing  Skills LD; in this type, these children have trouble in getting organized at all. They forget their assignment, probably they often left their homework on the school bus. They also difficult in understanding directions. 
6. Social Skills LD or also called Nonverbal LD; here, these children have difficulties on "reading" people. They will laugh or speak at the wrong time and interrupt conversations. They do not jokes that their friends tell. They stand too close to person they are talking to.
7. Motor LD; these children have difficulties on controlling their muscles. They move slowly or maybe have trouble in running, riding bike, jumping, hopping and playing sports. They lose their balance easily, and often teased for being clumsy.
