Developmental Disabilities
Developmental
Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, Learning Differences all refer to the
cognitive abilities with which we are born. They are terms which suggest
people possess certain cognitive strengths and weakness from birth which
may limit their ability to perform activities in school, daily life, or in
a work setting. Every person has a unique combination of abilities and
challenges, which determine the manner in which they learn, relate
socially and function in daily life. Understanding this unique “cognitive
style” provides the basis for understanding why problems arise and what to
do about them or how to plan for the future to capitalize on abilities for
success. Whether solving a problem or preparing for the future,
information about cognitive abilities is an essential guide for decision
making.
