  • Description of the initiative

    Kids with language disorder diagnosis need excessive support home to express their feelings, interact with other kids and do school homework.
    -----

    What is language disorder ( Language impairment) :

    Assume you learn completely new language for two months and travel to the country where the new language is spoken. How do you feel?
    To be in environment where you hear words but can not connect them with meaning is similar to kids with language impairment feel, but there is a difference.
    The kids suffering of language impairment is facing this problem with their mother tongue language.
    So an adult will not lose his/her self confidence. Another problem problem those kids start to hide this problem*

    -------
    Example of language impairment:
    How all this interest I have for language impairment started.
    Some years ago I met 6 years old boy with language impairment.
    He was right social I saw that in his eyes.
    But it was very hard to make any conversation with him.
    When I asked him where does he live, he could not find the word.
    After a while he replied:
    “We live in the forest!”
    This boy is the son to a friend and I know they live in city.
    As well in Sweden you will not survive winter in the forest.


    -------

    What type of problem the kids with language difficulty are facing?
    Language disorder diagnosis is a hidden diagnose, you can not ask a kids without legs why he/she not playing football. But it will be strange that a kid need a lot of repetition to memories this document I present now is made with a program called Power Point even in his mother language.
    The kids regard as less intelligent and they believe in that.
    Kids with language learning difficulties need a lot of repetition to remember words.
