Learning Disabilities a Part of Life

Most of us are unaware that learning disabilities is a part of life. We grow up with our first teachers (parents), move ahead to our next series of parents (teachers) and then deal with the other influences, such as peers, siblings, religions, politics, law, and so forth.

As you can see, we have a failure in the communication system because all of us have our own beliefs.

Understanding definitions, meanings, skills, experience, wisdom, knowledge and hearing are all parts of learning tools. When one or more of these elements are, missing then we are looking at learning inabilities.

After carefully study children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders (ADHD) and Attention Deficit Disorders (ADD), I learned that these children were hindered from learning in their own way. Both ADD and ADHD are one in the same, but doctors often promote the different definitions to add more confusion.

During my years of observational study, I watched a child grow up around a particular religious group and still wander away from the beliefs he was taught.

Although the child was a victim of his father's behaviors (including before birth), since his father was found to be a drug dealer, and addict.

The child at birth adhered to behaviors (including silence for more than 7 hours per day). While most babies cry during a 7-hour day, I noticed that while this child developed his motor sensors, vision, and coordination, his functions were interrupted. Watching the child, I noticed as this young child grew into a hyperactive individual unable to control his impulses and acting out accordingly, his behaviors begin after abuse.

The child was won over to drugs and alcohol to relieve his symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders. After the child was evaluated and treated for Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, shortly he was diagnosed with Schizophrenia (rather treated for this diagnose) and Psychosis.

Now the child already had a learning disability supposedly because of his diagnose Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Schizophrenia and Psychosis. However, I watched this child pay absolute attention when people talked around him.

He observed and strained effortlessly to listen and hear the details of the conversation and would often interrupt the flow of communication. Regardless of the information, I obtained from educational leaders and mental health experts. I learned from my own observation that there were elements of the diagnose that hindered his ability to learn. However, beliefs fell at the top of the lists since this child became rebellious when his beliefs were interrupted.

Now, I see a stubbornness side that says to us that we need to consider what others believe, or we are going to have problems throughout our lives.

We need to consider the diagnoses and treat it accordingly. Recently scientists are finding that the medications utilized for treating patients with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders or Attention Deficit Disorders are affected negatively, since the medicines has been linked to psychotic breaks and schizophrenia tendencies.

Instead of adding to a problem, we need to learn how to subtract by addressing the problems accordingly to the individual's needs.

We are talking about human lives here, which should have more value on control, power and money, however it is the fourth concern in line.

Therefore, this type of problem will exist for years to come, since even the National Education Association is running to gain power, control and money surpassing the needs of the children in need of learning.

Learning is a part of life, but disabilities fall into place since all of us have the capacity to fight for our rights, deny what we hear and disbelieve, or believe what we are told and ignore what is right.

One example of learning hindrance can be seen when a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder is asked to write 300 times that he will not curse in school after profanity slipped from his mouth. Sure, we are showing him that there are consequences for his behaviors, but if the child believes it is an ongoing mistake, what is he really learning when he is forced to task beyond his ability to do so.

Hyperactive children have an inability to stay focused and often are disruptive because their impulses control their behaviors.  So, then we can ask what is more affective for teaching children with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorders (ADHD/ADD)?
