In our country Learning Disability is a common dilemma of every teacher every year. How to be able to learn those children in a regular classroom setting which have difficulties in learning.  Based from the research, it is estimated that 15 % of children in Asia including the Philippines are affected with Learning Disability ( LD).

LD is a disorder in one or more basic psychological process involved in using language, spoken or written which may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read and write, spell.  Learning disabled children have reading problems known as Dyslexia. Interchanging the letters thus, reading incorrectly like “was” to “saw”.  Children may also be learning disabled if they have difficulties in developing some of the skills other children of the same age are capable of, or if they have difficulties understanding spoken words and direction, expressing themselves in words or doing mathematical calculations. The impact of disability ranges from mild to severe.The disorder is intrinsic to the individuals and are presumed to be due to Central Nervous System.
