How to Identify Children with Learning Disabilities

It is important for educators working with young children to be able to identify children who have special needs in order to provide individualized and more appropriate education methods for those who require it. Because of my desire to establish an inclusive kindergarten, I wish to learn more about how to be aware of factors indicating that a child may have learning difficulties as a foundation to assessing them and creating a curriculum and program effective to best educate children with varying needs.

Constructing a research chart is beneficial in defining different terminology and outlining the research process in a more visual and concise way. It was, however, difficult to find articles related directly to identifying factors of child disabilities, but with the outlined research process I was able to pick up on key information within each article that provided details related to my topic.
