विद्यार्थ्यांमध्ये शिकण्याच्या समस्यांच्या जागृतीसाठी

  जर फ्रॅक्चर झालेल्या हाडांना पुनर्वसनाची गरज भासत असेल, तर अभ्यासात अडचणीत असलेल्या मुलाला मदत का केली जाऊ नये? जेव्हा आपण आजारी पडतो तेव्हा आपण तपासणीसाठी डॉक्टरांकडे जातो मग मुलाच्या वाचन आणि लेखनाच्या अडचणीकडे दुर्लक्ष का करायचे? हाडांच्या फ्रॅक्चरसाठी पुनर्वसन आवश्यक आहे त्याचप्रमाणे शिकण्याच्या समस्या असलेल्या मुलाच्या पालकांनी तीळाच्या छिद्रातून पर्वत तयार होऊ नये म्हणून शिकण्याच्या अक्षमतेच्या तज्ञाची मदत घ्यावी. लहान वयात शिकण्याच्या समस्यांकडे दुर्लक्ष केल्याने पुढे शैक्षणिक कामगिरीमध्ये अडचणी येतात. शिकण्याच्या समस्या शैक्षणिक प्रगतीला बाधा आणतात आणि मुलामध्ये भावनिक आणि वर्तन समस्या विकसित होतात. शक्य तितक्या लवकर मदत मिळवा. तुमचे मूल शैक्षणिक क्षेत्रातील त्याच्या/तिच्या समवयस्कांच्या बरोबरीने राहण्यासाठी व्यावसायिक व्यक्तीच्या सूचनांचे अनुसरण करा. आनंदी शिक्षण.. मदत करण्यात आनंद झाला! थेराग्यान हुशार पेक्षा शहाणे असणे चांगले ___________________________
