Behaviors That Impact Learning

This is a very broad topic that covers issues ranging from totally normal through to severe disabilities.  They can be grouped into major categories such as:

  • Internal – poor self-esteem, depression, anxiety, & obsession
  • External – inattentive, hyperactive, impulsive, oppositional, disruptive
  • Processing – difficulty with: reading; speaking; writing; listening; or interpreting nonverbal communication

More specifically, these issues refer to anything that impacts the rate of nerve growth or proper function.  They can be further broken down into classifications based upon:   

  1. Which parts of the nervous system are involved
  2. What symptoms result from the abnormal nerve function
  3. What is causing the learning issue
