Special Education and Learning
Disabilities through Social and
Natural Science Lenses

Introduction
####### This project will explore the topic of special education and learning
####### disabilities through the lenses of social science and natural
####### science.
I chose this topic because I am pursuing a degree in Psychology and I find the topic to be most related to the work that I will do in the future. I am hoping to learn through this project more about the everyday challenges that children and students with learning disabilities face, and how special education helps them overcome these things. I was also curious to learn what types of precursors there are both in utero and in life, to learning disabilities, and what can be done to potentially prevent them in the first place.
Learning Disabilities and Special Education through
Natural Science
There are several different predecessors to special education that can be found both while in utero and in early infancy. Babies who are delivered naturally are most likely to have learning disabilities, followed by cesarean and forceps. Children whose mothers were placed on bed rest, who took medicine through pregnancy, and experienced bleeding while pregnant were shown to be at higher risk for eventual learning disabilities. Low birth weights, jaundice, seizures and being entered into neonatal units in early infancy are also shown as increasing likelihood of these disabilities. The Natural Science lens is viewed through collecting data on pregnancies and early childhood history of 200 children now between the ages of 8 and 12 who have been diagnosed with an array of learning disabilities.
Convergence
The similarities between these two lenses and my
topic go beyond the science element.
o Both lenses look at the everyday lives of children with disabilities and aim to fix them. o Both articles discuss practices either in childhood or before that worsen the issues faced by children with learning disabilities. o Both lenses required data to be collected and investigated to grow better answers. o Both articles discuss the importance of special education and coping strategies once the disabilities are uncovered.
Both Lenses
Looking at Special Education and Learning Disabilities
through both of these lenses shows a very clear issue
in both our prenatal care and educational system care
of children and how that can potentially contribute to
these issues. We can do more to prevent and help
children overcome existing issues by helping them
further their learning or learn differently. However,
from the research that was read it is clear to me, that
change and better training and education for out
mothers and educators on these topics will be
important moving forward to address these issues.
Further Exploration
To further explore this topic I will seek answers to questions
related to the early development of children with learning
disabilities and the genetic factors and other predecessors
that might exist that relate to them.
Are mothers that are under higher stress levels more likely to
have a child with special needs?
####### oPrenatal Factors, Factors in learning disabilities, genetic factors
####### in learning disabilities
If caught early, could children with learning disabilities learn to
function at their normal grade level?
####### oSpecial education strategies, early childhood development and
####### learning disabilities, special schools, cognitive strategies
