САЖЕТАК / ABSTRACT:

Specific learning disabilities, such as dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, present considerable challenges for younger school-aged children. This paper examines how to effectively identify and address these disabilities to enhance academic achievement and social skills. The key research questions focus on the effects of specific learning disabilities on emotional and social development, the most effective treatment approaches, and the impact of innovative teaching methods. The research methodology includes descriptive, analytical, and comparative analysis of scientific studies and practical research. The theoretical section explores factors affecting the treatment of learning disabilities, while the methodological part examines the role of early diagnosis in academic and social success. Additionally, the study assesses innovative educational approaches aimed at improving teaching practices for children with learning disabilities. The results indicate that early diagnosis and multidisciplinary support significantly enhance both academic performance and emotional well-being. The study highlights the crucial role of teachers and parents in fostering an inclusive and supportive educational environment. The research concludes that implementing innovative educational practices enables flexible and adaptive teaching, catering to the needs of children with learning disabilities. These methods not only improve academic skills but also enhance emotional stability and social development. The findings underscore the necessity of educating teachers and parents about specific learning disabilities and integrating innovative teaching strategies to promote personalized and inclusive learning.
