Abstract:
Language-based learning disability (LBLD) refers to an array of complexities related to the understanding and implementation of spoken and written language. LBLD is a common root of a students’ academic hardships because weak language skills hinder comprehension and communication,
which are the basis for most school activities. Like every other form of learning disability, LBLD results from a combination of neurobiological anomalies (differences in the way an individual’s brain works) as well as environmental factors (e.g., the learning setting, the type of instruction). The key to helping students with LBLD is by knowing how to modify instruction and curriculum to make sure they develop proficient language and literacy expertise. Most individuals with LBLD need instructions that are explicit, multisensory, structured, and specialized, as well as ongoing,
guided practice aimed at repairing their particular areas of weakness. While working on this topic, we have observed that people with learning disabilities are of average or above average intelligence. There often appears to be a large gap between the individual.s true potential and his/her actual achievement. Which is why learning disabilities are also referred as “hidden disabilities”: i.e. the person looks absolutely “normal” and seems to be a very bright and intelligent person yet may be incompetent to display the skill level expected from someone
of a similar age. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to make sure that communication shall never act as a hindrance to the potentials possessed by any differently abled person and to minimize the linguistic obstacles faced by the differently abled community on a regular basis.
