LEARNING DISABILITY: A CHALLENGE FOR THE EMERGING SOCIETY

Abstract: Education is often thought to be one of the most important accomplishments in an individual's life. It is often considered to be the means by which the person will be able to secure gainful employment and achieve success in life. Consequently, one's education is a valuable tool. However, there are varying degrees by which individuals are able to learn. Not all children can learn with the same efficiency as other children. But research shows that these children who are poor learners may have some type of disability. In fact, these children are able to learn with the proper training and accommodations. These children are referred to as having learning disabilities. The purpose of this paper is to discuss learning disabilities as a challenge.
