Coping With Learning Disability

Learning disability or LD is something that you cannot guess about. You first need to undergo a series of educational or psychological tests before you can formally say that you have one. These tests, of course, should be administered by authorities in the relevant fields.

If you have a hard time learning a concept or a subject, do not be shy to let your teacher, guidance counselor or school psychologist to know about it. This could be indicative that you have LD. Or, this could simply mean that you learn in a different way.

Be clear in sharing the exact issues you encounter while studying inside the class or alone in the library. As soon as you are suggested to take specific tests, take them right away. Consult a doctor right away for you to get professional help if ever the test results approve that you really have LD. Are there medications prescribed for your betterment? If yes, do take them all.

Do not sulk about having LD. Many people who suffer from LD have proven that challenges such as this cannot stop from being the best that they can be. Just look at the likes of Tom Cruise, Walt Disney, Albert Einstein and John F. Kennedy who managed to be achievers and famous in their niches despite the fact that they did not learn the regular way.

Online Classrooms vs. Physical Classrooms

Going to school means sleepless nights for learners as they do their assignments and prepare everything they need so they won't be late for class. Everyday commute is one of the tough stuff every student needs to take care of, especially if they don't have a car of their own. If you live in a place where there is high traffic all the time, then you need to prepare all the more. That's for those who go to out to attend traditional schooling.

There's a huge difference when it comes to virtual and traditional education. You just need to pick which one works best for you. Both allows you to ...

On Real Books And Ebooks

I may have been a fan of the traditional book, but I cannot deny the fact that I also love to read books using my Kindle especially when I travel. This offers a lot of convenience on my end because I do not need to carry a full bag of books, I just have to bring my electronic book reader with me when I go out. :) But when I prefer to stay at home especially during weekends and holidays, I still hold a real book. That enables me to save on electricity costs as well, since I need to charge my Ebook reader so I can use it again as opposed to the traditional book . With the real one, you can just flip the pages and not worry about grabbing the charger next to you. All you need is a well lit place so you can read the contents. What about you? Which would you prefer? A real book or an electronic one?
