Identification Of Learning Disabilities Workshop, Conducted At Dar Jana International School

Dar Jana international school  Jeddah, conducted  on 16 May one day learning disability workshop for mothers delivered by Dr. Ghada Awada. She has a PHD in education and learning difficulties.
Mrs. Ghada gave an introduction and illustration what is learning disabilities, she used short videos, students work at school, and she talked about different technology school has integrated to help their students. Her important question was for all the mothers, Does your child struggle with school? Does he or she dread reading out loud, writing an essay, or tackling a math problem? While every kid has trouble with homework from time to time, if a certain area of learning is consistently problematic, it might indicate a learning disorder. By understanding all you can about learning disabilities, you can ensure your child gets the right help to overcome classroom challenges and succeed in life.
Dr, Ghada was encouraging mothers to educate themselves about learning disabilities, so they can help their children in the best way, and mothers help is always built confidence and self esteem in children. Mrs. Ghada repeatedly focuses on the point that  Learning disabilities, or learning disorders, are an umbrella term for a wide variety of learning problems. A learning disability is not a problem with intelligence or motivation. These words were quiet, soothing for the mothers whose child may be suffering from learning disabilities.She insisted most kids suffering from learning disabilities are the smartest kids in the world. Their brains are simply wired differently. This difference affects how they receive and process information.
It was a really bold step by the Dar Jana International school to educate mothers about different  learning  disabilities, It was a pleasant surprise to see Mrs. Fatin  Ataya El- Saadi, principal of  Dear Jana international school, was one of the active participants in the workshop.
Dr.Ghada successfully delivered her message to all mothers that children suffering from learning disabilities  just need to be taught in ways that are tailored to their unique learning styles. By learning more about learning disabilities in general, and your child’s learning difficulties in particular, you can help pave the way for success at school and beyond. Mothers should pay attention to normal  developmental milestones for toddlers and preschoolers is very important. Dr. Ghada explains to mothers that after you learn what their specific learning disability is and how it is affecting their behavior, you will be able to start addressing the challenges in school and at home.
