AUDITORY LEARNING DISABILITY CHILDREN MANUAL
ADHD first appeared in 1968 in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) as “hyperkinetic impulse disorder.” Ever since 2000, awareness and research of learning disabilities and ADHD issues has taken off and in the year 2013 DSM-5 broadened its definition of the term “specific learning disorder”. Kirk was the first Psychologist to use the term “learning disability” in the year 1963 in Chicago at an education conference. The article by Pringle Morgan entitled “A Case of Congenital Word Blindness” (Morgan, 1896) in the British Medical Journal encouraged researchers and formed a basis for research to study other cases of LD to further explore studies on the definitions and identification tools of LD. The other influential researcher, who has made great contributions to the Learning Disability (LD) construct and develops understanding of the various issues related to LD was Pringle Morgan in the united Kingdom. Adolf Kussmaul (1877), a German neurologist was the first to identify reading disability and coined the term “word blindness.” He defines it as “complete text blindness … although the power of sight, the intellect, and the powers of speech are intact.” Almost after 10 years after the term “word blindness” appeared, the term ‘dyslexia’ was used by Berlin (1887) to define reading challenges. Although many researchers have contributed to the field, the seminal works of two important scientists are phenomenal even today. Over time, more and more people have become aware of these differences due to the brain research (1930–1960) that became the foundation of the field of learning disabilities.The terms such as brain-injured child was first used by Alfred Strauss and Laura Lehtinen. Learning disabilities and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has been the topic of study interest for more than 100 years.
