Asperger Syndrome

 Asperger syndrome is often considered a high functioning form of autism. People with this syndrome have difficulty interacting socially, repeat behaviors, and often are clumsy. Motor milestones may be delayed.

Learning Disability

A learning disability, or learning disorder, is not a problem with intelligence. Learning disorders are caused by a difference in the brain that affects how information is received, processed, or communicated. Children and adults with learning disabilities have trouble processing sensory information because they see, hear, and understand things differently.

Seperation Anxiety

Separation anxiety is a developmental stage during which the child experiences anxiety when separated from the primary caregiver.

Specific Phobia

It is an extreme fear of a specific object or situation that is out of proportion to the actual danger or threat. In addition, an individual with a specific phobia is distressed about having the fear, or experiences significant interference in his or her day-to-day life because of the fear.

 School Phobia

 

It is a complex and extreme form of anxiety about going to school (but not of the school itself as the name suggests), can have many causes (see below) and can include related anxiety disorders such as agoraphobia and selective mutism. Symptoms include stomachaches, nausea, fatigue, shaking, a racing heart and frequent trips to the toilet.

 The disorders that are given above are the common problem that are faced by the children in the present time. There are various factors that causes these disorders. It is important for parents and teachers to know the symptoms and signs of these disorders so that they can take early precautions.
