Learning Disabilities in Pakistani Students: A Review Paper with Focus on Dysgraphia

Abstract

The present study mainly deals with dysgraphia as a learning disability among Pakistani students. Dysgraphia in writing among students affects mental and cognitive processes. From an educational perspective, learning disabilities affect students’ performance. These disabilities also disturb the brain's abilities, such as information storage, processing, and analyzing. Students with learning disabilities face issues in all communication/language skills, such as speaking, reading, listening, and writing. Such disabilities/problems create an atmosphere of frustration, low self-esteem, and poor academic performance. These disabilities are necessary to discuss because teachers and policymakers must understand them at an early stage and control them using some cognitive, psychological, and administrative steps. An early-stage identification of these learning disabilities, finding the remedies, and coming up with academic solutions can improve such students' academic standards. This study also recommends suitable steps to overcome such disabilities among Pakistani students.
