What Are Learning Disabilities?
For someone diagnosed with a learning disability, it can seem daunting at first. But a learning disability doesn't have anything to do with a person's intelligence — after all, successful people such as Walt Disney, Alexander Graham Bell, and Winston Churchill all had learning disabilities.
Learning disabilities are problems that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, analyze, or store information. These problems can make it difficult for an individual to learn as quickly as someone who isn't affected by learning disabilities.
There are many kinds of learning disabilities. Most people affected by them have more than one kind. Certain kinds of learning disabilities can interfere with a person's ability to concentrate or focus and can cause someone's mind to wander too much. Other learning disabilities can make it difficult for someone to read, write, spell, or solve problems.
Here at Nelson Park we have trained teams of staff to help each individual to achieve their goals. To be pro-active in teaching new skills and helping each individual to be as independant as possible. We offer the person centred approach care plans that are implemented which explain the individuals needs and the best way of achieving them.
