know your child v by ron king president durham north association for children with learning disabilities how do you manage to keep your rosy outlook the mortgage company is at the back door the boss wants you to produce more the federal government wants money and everyone is going on strike except rene levesque and your minister wonders if you have been sincere in your prayers the point of all this is that we are realizing as it becomes more and more painful that canadians can no longer live as they have been or believe what they have in the past canada the ussr medicine energy marriage nutrition gold gunman fined and education are examples of the endless list of constants that have now become variables the growing list of sub jects in which experts are no longer so expert in the following paragraphs there are brief explanations of the term learning disability and how this term has come to be the fojusof interest for some concerned educators and worried parents tih e ontario association for children with learning disabilities defines a learning disabled child as jv exhibiting a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding and using spoken or written languages these may be manifested in disorders or listening talking reading writing spelling or arithmetic the primary cause of such dysfunction is not due to visual hearing or motor handicaps mental retardation emotional disturbance or to en vironmental disad vantages the ministry of education in ontario has recently issued a similar definition even a cursory examination of this definition points out the fact that the learning disabled child is described by delineating what he or she is not rather than what that child is also the definition implies learning disabilities are disorders that the child catches at school and becomes cured on leaving school in fact there are many learning disabled children who have now grown up to be disabled adults and who still suffer from the lack of ability to organize their lives and as a result experience the lack of selfworth and the resultant behavior for many years the learning disabled person in our school system and in society was simply not understood and therefore thought to be lazy a disturber a very quiet person a delinquent or an extremely brilliant person who just couldnt read very well do you see how hard it is to define the problem a learning disabled person may be poor retarded wealthy or a creative individual who is always losing his possessions or simply unable to write legibly i hope i have con fused you but not so much that you dont want to discover more common signs of learning disabilities are difficulty or failure in reading writing spelling or arithmetic verbal assignments on a far higher level than written work restlessness short attention span hyperactivity poor coordination and spatial disorien tation frequent anxiety or anger because of an inability to cope with school or social requirements trouble in auditory and or visual memory a child whose teacher says he or she could do better if he tried lack of organization now that you have this list do further reading if you feel

always bad a school choir but not like this one over 100 students from grades 5 6 and 7 are involved this year and recently brought attention to their talents by placing first in the newmarket lions-

leader became involved when edna retired and when the principal john hiricks heard the songs the enthusiastic children rendered he suggested an optional music course in the curriculum the program is- in conjunction with a music appreciation program taught by greg clapp concentrating on the history of folk and other tiines and another in structed by john leonard tracing the roots of music in north america f all the way from barbershop to disco ron assisted by barb widemanand doreen brown says he has little difficulty getting the children to behavvdufing rehearsals most of the students are very
