What is disorders By Rose Gonçalves

In this post, we are going to talk about learning disorders, but we want to talk in a simple way so that this topic is no longer a seven-headed animal and who knows, it becomes interesting to understand our worldview if it is superficial or deeper, in the end discovering attitudes that teach us to be better people every day, and living with people who have a disorder, whatever it may be, really makes us better, more empathetic, more loving and more human.

In the past, we did not even imagine that that agitated child who did not understand anything and lived in the world of the moon, went through much more complex problems than what was apparently seen, sometimes it was not even noticed because a child when he presented this type of behavior was labeled "naughty or uneducated". Many families omitted the condition of the child from school, which in turn suffered intolerance and prejudice from colleagues. However, the school was a factor of great influence in the process of change in the attitude of some educators who began not only to observe, but to point out to parents and guardians patterns of behavior and development of students, which generated a long search for answers and possible treatments.
