ABSTRACT

The purpose of this study is to suggest a task to improve practical instruction and identify the children with learning disabilities based on the review of the article (from home and abroad) concerning the cognitive characteristics of the children with learning disabilities which is essential in selecting instruction, identifying and diagnosing of the children with learning disabilities. The result of the review showed that individual intelligence test which has been essentially used in identifying the children with learning disabilities wasn't suitable to understand cognitive characteristics of the children with learning disabilities. Therefore I suggest that we should have different standardized achievement test and suitable intelligence test to judge educational needs and cognitive deficit. Moreover we found that cognitive processing deficit of the children with learning disabilities caused academic difficulty in neurosychological approach. In this respect, we need to apply the cognitive characteristics we found to the identification and diagnosis of the children with learning disabilities. I also suggest that we need the application and development of the instructional program which can cure the children with learning disabilities based on the cognitive deficits
