Sports and Fitness for Kids with Learning Disabilities

News from the web:

Kids with learning disabilities, which can include dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and language disabilities, may struggle in school, but find success in the world of sports. The playing field offers them a chance to equal or best their peers, strengthening self-esteem (which can take a hit in the classroom) and teaching teamwork and social skills as well.

Sports also offers kids the chance to learn skills—such as problem-solving, sequencing, and focus—in a new way, which can in turn help them with their academic work. And after all, learning a sport is learning too, so it reinforces kids’ ability to pick up new concepts. Children who have learning and behavioral challenges can profit from the physical release of exercise too. It reduces stress and helps redirect energy positively; this can help improve behavior in the classroom.
