United Kingdom of Great Britain & N. Ireland (Press Release) October 9, 2007 --
Following up on the immense popularity and success of the Tata Interactive Learning Disability Forum (TLDF) last year, Tata Interactive Systems (TIS), a world leader in custom e-learning design/development and organisational performance improvement, is hosting the second annual TLDF - a unique global symposium on learning disabilities (LD). Last year’s TLDF attracted delegates from around the world, comprising pediatricians, psychiatrists, instructional designers and special needs educators, as well as parents of children with learning difficulties.
Conducted in association with the LTMG Hospital, the event takes place on 27th November in Mumbai, India. Other organisations supporting the event include:
• nasen is the leading UK professional association embracing all special and additional educational needs and disabilities, promoting the education, training, development and support of all those working within this field.
• Maharashtra Dyslexia Association (MDA), a non-profit body of parents and professionals committed to safeguarding the rights of people with learning disabilities to an appropriate education.
According to J C Mistry, who heads the LD initiatives at TIS: “Learning disability is a life-long disorder that affects the manner in which individuals select, retain and express information. They are also termed as ‘learning differences’, based on the fact that certain individuals learn differently.
”Although several products are available for the identification and remediation of learning disabilities, most of these are either unable to sustain the progress of a disabled child or not aligned to government standards. To overcome this limitation, we develop end-to end solutions that screen and identify children with learning disabilities, and offer remedial action as well as a tracking system to monitor their progress,” Mistry added.
Topics at this year’s TLDF include pre-testing in schools; handling the LD student in class, and counselling the LD child and her/his parents.
“While the TLDF 2006 successfully spread awareness around the issue of LD, TLDF 2007 takes it forward by focusing on multi-disciplinary approaches to LD certification and remedial interventions,” explained TIS’s CEO, Sanjaya Sharma. “The aim is to involve the different levels - schools, counsellors, parents, hospitals and so on - and bring them together in an attempt to recognise and support LD children by making the LD certification process more efficient and working on remedial interventions with the LD child.”
