Not all children are born with the same ability to
carry out various functions like studying, playing, singing, learning
music.....and many.
Some kids are born with certain disabilities or disorders too.
First of all it's very much important for parents to understand the uniqueness of their childthe ability and the disability too.
In
simple words, a child's disability can be understood as a condition
where they are unable to perform some day to day common tasks.
Disabilities can be primarily classified into three types Cognitive Disability, Intellectual Disability and Physical Disability.
Cognitive Disability:
Cognitive disability hampers the individuals capacity to acquire
knowledge, pay attention, make proper judgements, coordinate their
physical actions and articulate speech.
It can be broadly classified into memory disorders, hyperactivity and dyslexia.
Intellectual Disability:
A child with intellectual disability will have the limitations in the
intellectual functioning of mental capacity such as learning, reasoning,
problem solving and IQ levels. Usually it occurs before the age of 18
years.
Some children show limitations in the concept of language, time, numbers and directions (conceptual skills).
Few, show poor interpersonal relations, social responsibility, poor self-esteem and feelings of negativity (social skills).
Then,
certain kids reveal slow daily living activities, occupational skills
and healthcare will be affected and money handling and personal safety
will be affected (practical skills).
Physical Disability: It means the limitations on a child's physical functioning affecting mobility, strength, speed and posture.
Now, based on these disabilities, it will be easy for a parent to understand the strengths of a child and work through it.
