Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

536
Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching I: Assessment and Diagnosis

2.3K
The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.
It is critical to determine the patient's learning needs during the assessment. Determination of learning needs compounds data...

Health Literacy

5.2K
Health literacy is an individual's or a community's capacity to comprehend, receive, read, and use relevant healthcare information and services. The World Health Organization (WHO, 2018) defines health literacy as the cognitive and social skills that determine the ability of individuals to gain access to, understand, and use information in ways that promote and maintain good health. As a result, the WHO helps individuals manage long-term health concerns, participate in preventative...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

665
Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.

Purposive Learning01:22

Purposive Learning

E. C. Tolman emphasized the purposiveness of behavior — the idea that much of our behavior is goal-directed. For instance, employees who aim for a promotion work diligently to meet their targets. Tolman argued that when classical conditioning and operant conditioning occur, the organism acquires certain expectations. In classical conditioning, a child might fear a dog because they expect it to bite. In operant conditioning, a person might consistently work overtime because they expect a...

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution...

Area of Science:

  • Pediatrics
  • Educational Psychology
  • Family Medicine

Background:

  • Academic underachievement, including class failure and grade retention, is a prevalent issue.
  • Specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, significantly impact a child's learning capacity.
  • Family physicians are uniquely positioned to assist families navigating these academic challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the role of family physicians in addressing academic underachievement.
  • To emphasize the importance of identifying medical, familial, and social risk factors.
  • To guide physicians in connecting families with appropriate educational resources and support.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing standard educational terminology relevant to academic difficulties.
  • Investigating potential medical, family, and social risk factors contributing to underachievement.
  • Exploring the medical differential diagnoses for academic underachievement.
  • Understanding the process for obtaining medical documentation to support individualized education program (IEP) evaluations.

Main Results:

  • Physicians can identify and address risk factors that schools may overlook.
  • Medical documentation from physicians can facilitate IEP evaluations.
  • A comprehensive approach involving medical and educational assessments is key.
  • Family physicians can bridge the gap between medical insights and educational interventions.

Conclusions:

  • Family physicians are vital in supporting children with academic underachievement and specific learning disabilities.
