It is important to establish the distinction between the group of students with severe handicaps and the group of students with mild disabilities. Most of the time, the first group attend a special school. Meanwhile, students suffering from mild handicaps are able to attend a normal school just by accommodating some methodologies (Wall, 1980).

Language difficulties Language difficulties: Language is a basic part when learning to read and write, that is why it is so important to evaluate children since they are very young (Tarnopol, 1986). Language difficulty is one of the most common learning disabilities. People develop a general knowledge of a language at the age of 4 or 5. At this age, it is normal to find some phonetics problems that disappear spontaneously when children are around 7 years old (Wall, 1980). MORE

Considering that language is an essential intellectual element that is very related to every part of one’s social and emotional life, any kind of difficulty for speaking, no matter which is the origin, provokes important problems in children (Wall, 1980). MORE

Hearing difficulties Hearing difficulties: children with hearing problems have to face difficult situations. Most of the time, children with hearing difficulties are accused of being inattentive (Tarnopol, 1986). Some situations that are difficult for them are discussions, lectures, and group work, because it is difficult for them to concentrate and attend to information (Steele, 2008). MORE

Visual difficulties Visual difficulties: Even though the majority of the specialists on visual problems think that visual impairments rarely produce difficulties when learning to read, sometimes they can contribute by making reading a difficult process (Tarnopol, 1986). MORE

Children with mild retardation have problems in classes with organization and attention. In addition, they have difficulties completing long assignments, completing in daily work, bringing home appropriate materials for studying, maintaining focus during classes, and reading continuously for long periods of time, which is required for assignments and test preparation. Nevertheless, when a teacher helps students with mild retardation, they have a better chance to succeed (Steele, 2008).

On the other hand, glasses are useful in different visual problems, but most of the time those instruments do not cure the patient. sometimes it is necessary to complement them with physician therapies to prevent complete blindness (Mora Salas, 1974). MORE

As any other learning disability, visual impairment presents a lot of complications to students who suffer from it. For example, Steele (2008) points out that students with visual problems have difficulties understanding presentations on the board, PowerPoint presentation, or textbook graphics MORE
