Answer to Question 1

1 .hildren approach learning in different ways, so each child's individual learning style and uniqueness should be recognized and used to full advantage. 2 . Educational methods should be tailored to an individual child's pattern of strengths and weaknesses; one method should not be imposed on everyone. 3 .Children with learning problems might be helped by teaching methods that strengthen existing abilities rather than emphasize weak areas.

Answer to Question 2

Learning disability is a lay term (not a diagnostic term) that refers to significant problems in mastering one or more of the following skills: listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, and mathematics. Communication disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to deficits in language, speech, and communication. Specific learning disorder is a diagnostic term that refers to specific problems in learning and using academic skills. The DSM-5 integrates the frequently co-occurring problems in reading, mathematics, and written expression into this one category, and uses specifiers to designate impairments in one or more of these areas.
