Understanding specific learning disabilities (SLD): A narrative literature review and analysis
Authors
Dr. Jaswant Singh Yadav, Sanjay
Abstract
This narrative literature review examines Specific Learning Disabilities
(SLD), a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders impacting academic skills.
Tracing the historical trajectory, the study highlights shift from early
emphasis on intelligence-academic discrepancies to a recognition of
multifaceted factors like processing speed and executive functions. Theoretical
perspectives explore cognitive theories, emphasizing both early models and
contemporary attention to executive functions. Genetic influences underscore
the interplay between genetics and the environment. Diagnostic challenges and
evolution are discussed, including changes in the DSM-5 and the growing
significance of Response to Intervention (RTI) models for early identification.
Comorbidities, particularly the interrelation between SLD and
Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), are addressed, emphasizing
comprehensive assessments. Interventions and educational strategies encompass
evidence-based practices like phonics-based reading programs and
technology-assisted interventions. Inclusive approaches, including Universal
Design for Learning (UDL) and Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), are
explored. In conclusion, the study underscores the evolving understanding of
SLD, transitioning from narrow perspectives to a nuanced comprehension of its
neurodevelopmental complexities. Advocating for continued interdisciplinary
collaboration and innovative interventions, the research aims to enhance
support and educational outcomes for individuals with SLD.
