behaviour and social skills

Students with specific learning disabilities may exhibit a wide range of behaviours and social skills that may be affected by their specific learning difficulties. It is important to remember that these social behaviours and skills can vary from person to person and not all students with learning disabilities have the same characteristics.

Frustration or anxiety

Students with learning disabilities may feel frustrated or anxious regarding their learning difficulties. They may become frustrated when they have difficulty understanding or completing tasks, which can lead to feelings of stress and anxiety.

Low self-respect

Students with learning disabilities may develop low self-esteem or a negative self-perception due to difficulties in the school environment. They may compare themselves to their peers and feel inferior or inferior, which can affect their overall confidence and self-esteem.

Avoidance behaviour

Some students with learning disabilities may exhibit avoidance behaviours as a way of dealing with their challenges. They may try to avoid tasks or situations that they find difficult or difficult to minimise the possibility of encountering failure or embarrassment.

Social distancing

Students with learning disabilities may be socially isolated or have difficulty forming and maintaining friendships. Their learning difficulties and issues with self-esteem can contribute to feelings of exclusion or difficulty connecting with peers. 

Misunderstood behaviour

Some behaviours of students with learning disabilities, such as inattention, impulsiveness, or disorganisation, may be misunderstood by others. These behaviours may be a manifestation of learning difficulties rather than being intentional or provocative.

Difficulty in communicating

Some students with learning disabilities may have difficulty with expressive and receptive language skills, resulting in communication difficulties. They may have difficulty expressing their thoughts, expressing themselves clearly, or understanding other people's verbal and nonverbal cues.

Social awkwardness

Students with learning disabilities may appear socially awkward or have difficulty understanding and following social norms. They may have difficulty interpreting social cues, understanding unwritten rules of social interaction, or maintaining appropriate eye contact and body language.

Difficulty in verbal perspective speaking

Students with learning disabilities may have difficulty stepping back, which can affect their ability to understand other people's points of view or empathise with their peers. They may have trouble seeing situations from different angles, leading to difficulties in relationships and social interactions.

Impulsive

Some students with learning disabilities may exhibit impulsive behaviour. They may act without thinking or have difficulty controlling their impulses, which can affect their decision-making, social interactions, and self-regulation.

Hyperactivity/agitation

Students with learning disabilities, especially those with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), may exhibit hyperactivity or agitation. They may have trouble standing still, sitting still for long periods of time, or paying attention, which can affect their participation in classroom activities and interactions with friends.
