Social consequences of learning difficulties in children and teenagers

Abstract

Learning Disabilities (LD) like ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and others need the right multimodal treatment. Without the required support, these children and teenagers can suffer consequences in their academic, professional, economic, and social lives, affecting their behaviour, self concept and self esteem, psychological and emotional wellbeing, social relationships, and afterwords leading to an increased risk of substance abuse, school failure and drop-out, mental health disorders and problems with justice. In their adult lives, consequences can manifest in difficulties to access qualified jobs, less career opportunities, a reduced level of income and possible situations of social risk or social exclusion.
