Intelligence and learning problems

We could be forgiven for thinking that those with learning problems are not as intelligent as others, but we know that to be untrue. Neuro developmental issues are a sensory problem, a problem of interaction with the world, not a low IQ. Neuro developmental delay is separate from intelligence but it affects a person’s ability to prove their intelligence in the ways accepted by society. Children experiencing these problems under-perform at school and as a result can suffer from constant feelings of failure, lack of achievement and being judged as simple.
For these children it is frustrating to know and understand things, yet find writing and reading very difficult. For some, just sitting in a classroom chair is impossible.
