Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Learning disabilities affect the totality of the individual and national productivity yet, it is mostneglected in the common wealth of exceptionality. This continues to complicate the fate of thediscipline, and the provision of professional intervention services. Despite the wealth in modelsand principles of the field, many issues still hinder seamless conceptualization of the disability,60 years after its birth. This discourse aims at a proper understanding of disability, as a way ofdemystifying learning process and why those with learning disabilities find it unnecessarilydifficult to learn like their peers. This paper uses cognitive psychology theory of informationprocessing to situate learning disabilities in the context of learning activities as information inthe classroom. The paper defines disability, its nature, challenges, and explains why those withthe disability find it very difficult to learn and perform like their peers in some academic tasks.Information processing theory is used to discuss how stimulus from learning environment affectsthe way information is processed, as well as the relatedness of the theory to learning disabilities.The study concludes that any distortion in the processing stage will affect ability to learn, andsuggest among others that technology should be used to mitigate and improve the processing ofstimulus from learning environment to enhance the understanding of disability.
