Research paper
Theme : ``why parents refuse to
acknowledge any signs of disability
in children '
Objective : A growing child with abstraction problems e .g .learning
disabilities (LD ) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD )
presents a far-difficult challenge for parents , teachers and therapists
alike in that the subject is perceived to be ``normal ' but given the
current social climate , is forced to conform to a unique pattern of
behavior and responsibilities common to others which he is unable to
the aim of this study is to gain an insightful perspective into why
parents fail to recognize minor disability signs in their children and
how expert knowledge can help them better understand their children
special needs '
A 1996 Barker Foundation survey on 500 adopted children showed that
nearly one-third of them suffered some kind of LD or ADHD difficulties
in their growth phase of life (Stuart , 2003 , the higher index
attributed to the fact that parents of adopted children seek cognitive
therapy more often than the general population indicating the problem is
deeper than what was earlier thought (Stuart , 2003 . It is self-evident
that a combination of poor prenatal care (drug /alcohol abuse , birth
complications , chronic stress in early parts of childhood and genetic
disabilities (Stuart , 2003 ) result in a problematic situation for the
child which can be only overcome when parents at least recognize that
there is a problem .
According to Dr . Larry B . Silver , LD is a neurological disorder in that
the functioning of a child 's brain is contingent on the particular
application area which is wired according to the functions , and usage of
the cortex (Silver , p .3 . Therefore , language skills , muscle (motor
skills , thinking (cognitive skills ) and organization skills are wired
differently and any deficiency in one area (according to the four
reasons suggested earlier ) can result in an LD which can , only be
overcome through therapy (Silver , p .5 . Lest the parents fail to
recognize the problem , the child is bound to suffer during his school
years and develop a deep inferiority complex (Silver , p .7 . Dyslexia is
one of the off-shoots of LD .
A much-less prevalent condition , ADHD , which afflicts two million
American kids can result in any of these allied symptoms : hyperactivity (a bullish go-go attitude , inattention (easily gets distracted by
irrelevant sounds /movement ) and impulsive behavior (NIMH , 2006 . Recent
studies show that ADHD is a much-curable condition if identified at an
earlier stage by concerned parents : with proper diagnosis and the right
medication , the child grows up (Silver , p .84 , many of the social ills
borne out of ADHD problems will disappear from the surface . Apparently ,
parents have a sense of duty and responsibility to watch out for any of
these abnormal signs in their children and not be biased in interpreting
them .
The question here is why parents fail to recognize signs of disability
in their children when it makes so much impact into their overall sense
of well-being . According to a medical fact sheet for undiagnosed
children suffering from LD /ADHD problems , there...
