Abstract

Theoretically, children are destined to learn about the world around them via their own biological instincts, drives and traits without any support or structure imposed upon them by others which may artificially impact the natural evaluation of their knowledge and abilities. In reality however, any environment which surrounds children both limits and structures their opportunities for learning. In addition, it limits and structures their range ofknowledge, since not all environments can be available to anyone child. At the same time, the interactions between the biological traits of the child and the environmental influences change the child in unique ways which impact basic brain development and function. This, in turn, changes the surrounding environment when the child starts to interact with it and tries to master the content and expectations. Although this is a very general description of the developing child, it is one framework which can form the foundation for understanding and describing interventions in learning disabilities.
