THE IMPACT OF NEUROPSYCHOLOGICAL INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES ON THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES
Introduction
In a country like India, where the population is rising constantly, competition is cut throat and parents stand in long queues to get their children into preschool, there is no shame in admitting that there is a problem. The trend now seems to be that both parents work, trying to provide for the family and that the children, by default, are neglected. In late 2007, India was exposed to a movie that not only brought insight into a major social issue, but also left parents wondering if in fact, they hadn’t done justice to their children when they were younger. “Taare Zameen Par”, a film directed by Aamir Khan portrayed the early school life of a young boy, Ishaan Avasthi, who at first seems just like a regular 8 year old, energetic school kid.

Neel had been diagnosed with dyscalculia but was a sharp student otherwise. Both Vaishnavi and Neel had learning disabilities, but both had very different symptoms, issues and needs related to it.

    Of course, we are not talking here about students whose comprehension is severely impaired, because they are usually schooled individually and have a special grading system, adjusted to their needs and abilities. But in the classrooms there are often students with less obvious disabilities, which, although less severe, can also create academic challenges. Some of them, such as dyslexia or dyscalculia, are directly related to learning and may affect the speed at which students acquire the material. Others, such as anxiety or ADHD may not only disrupt learning, but also are very likely to cause discrepancies between the students’ subject knowledge and their exam and assignment results.

    The film 13th directed by Ava DuVernay targets an intended audience of the Media and the three branches of the United States government with an emphasis that mass incarceration is an extension of slavery. It is intended to inform viewers about the criminalization of African Americans and the United States prison boom. 13th uses rhetorical devices in its claim to persuade the viewers by using exemplum in the opening seconds of the film.

A child who was labeled different became a child with a deficit and a disorder. They were led to believe that they were of lesser value in the classroom and in society in general, because our school system rewards sameness and undervalues difference. The diagnosis of A.D.D. is not based on laboratory tests; on the contrary, it is based on observations made by professionals, parents and teachers. However, recently, within the last few decades, EGG neurological research has shown that children and adults with A.D.D. show different brain wave patterns.
