Abstract

This paper, brings up the fact that mobile devices are used in education for pupils with learning disabilities. Learning disability encompasses a wide range of execution areas in which an individual has complexity in learning as a characteristic; it is usually derived for specific reasons. Whereas learning disability, learning disorder, and learning difficulty are often used interchangeably, and they differ in many ways. Learning disabilities refer to considerable problems in educational culture. A learning disorder is an authorized medical diagnosis whereby the personality meets certain conditions as dogged by a specialist (psychologist, pediatrician, etc.) Learning disabilities are used to describe a group of disorders distinguished by insufficient growth of specific academic, language, and speech skills. It focuses on three types of learning disabilities: reading disability (dyslexia), mathematics disability (dyscalculia), and writing disability (dysgraphia). Mobile devices are not only used for overwhelming information but also resourceful education. It is associated with e-learning and is mostly used to improve individual learning. Progression in mobile technology will allow us to shift our focus to an enlightening atmosphere. Pupils with learning disabilities have trouble performing specific types of skills or completing tasks. They have experience with visually impaired students and teachers who utilize mobile phones as their learning devices. In an educational situation, the teachers and teacher educators provide more time for the children with learning disabilities and are patient with them. Children with learning disabilities were able to take their own time for learning and it enhanced their learning ability.
