Dysnomia

"Dysnomia is a marked difficulty or impairment in object naming, word retrieval, and short-term auditory memory. It is a learning disability present from birth. Can affect speech, writing, and/or math"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In the video "How Difficult Can this be?" Dysnomia was mentioned. I was unaware of this disability and as I was listening to the video explain what it is I noticed that I have many symptoms of it. The video was explaining 2 main functions of the brain: Storage and Retrieval.
And when you struggle with Dysnomia you can only do one cognitive thing at a time. Which explains why I have so much trouble taking notes in class and listening to the teacher explain. Usually when I am writing notes I know the teacher is talking but I am not taking the information in. It is almost blocked out. I was always the last one writing exams. I usually am sitting at my desk trying to figure out what the question is asking while I see other students quickly grasping the concepts. Math is extremely difficult for me. A math word problem is devastating I feel like I never fully wrap my brain around the problem. I feel like my biggest fear is failing Math 260 and it will be the only thing holding me back trying to get into the educational profession. I fail it twice and I am kicked out of my desired program... and then what?

From the video "How hard can this be?
" The greatest gift you can give a child with LD is the gift of time"-- along with patience.
"The Challenge with working with learning disabilities is the challenge of educating kids with non-learning disabilities"
