The goal of support techniques for people with learning disabilities is to overcome to their exceptional requirements and obstacles. The most important strategies that are; First, early intervention as better results can be achieved by recognising and addressing learning issues early on. Also, the speech therapy, occupational therapy, and specialised education are examples of early intervention programmes. Second, customised Education Plans that is designed to meet the specific requirements of each student with learning disabilities. Those plans provide details on accommodations, adaptations, and support services. Therefore, multilingual instruction: For kids with LD, teaching strategies that appeal to their senses such as their visual, auditory, and physical faculties can be successful. In addition to supportive technology especially for students with LD can access and process information more efficiently with the use of technological tools like graphic organisers, calculators, and text to speech software. Furthermore, Emotional Support which is critical to acknowledge and deal with the emotional effects of learning challenges. Supportive environments, social skills training, and counselling can all help people with LD become more resilient and self-assured. Lastly, the cooperation among those who are affected by creating and carrying out successful support plans for people with LD requires cooperation between parents, educators, and other professionals (Ahonen, Rescorla, Eloranta, & Aro, 2021).


In order to properly diagnose and plan for behavioral-emotional issues in children with learning disabilities, we need to emphasise the significance role of working with parents, teachers, and the children themselves. it's important to identify children who require support, recognise subclinical issues, and address both academic skills and emotional well-being. Planning support should consider the kind and severity of learning disabilities as well as environmental circumstances and gender. In addition to highlight a combination of behavioral-emotional issues and learning disabilities, bringing out the importance of thorough assessments, collaboration among those in need, and customised strategies for support for children with varying types and severity of learning difficulties (Ahonen, Rescorla, Eloranta, & Aro, 2021).


Furthermore, we have to recognise how critical it is to examine current views and provide spaces where people with learning disabilities may recover their cultures and histories. Through artistic and literary efforts, people can challenge beliefs, and claim their power. Additionally promoting innovative methods that support diversity, communication, and awareness of the contributions made by people with learning disabilities to society, such as visual art, drama, and community-based initiatives. In general, the necessity of greater societal acceptance, comprehension, and engagement of people with learning disabilities; also, the significance of artistic and cultural pursuits in furthering social justice and equality (Barden & Cook, 2021).


In addition, many assistance solutions that target the challenges faced by secondary pupils with LD/EBD can be provided. These include assessing textbooks and alternative texts, putting Web 2.0 tools in place to support maths education, monitoring textbooks and visual organisers to reduce barriers brought on by reading difficulties, and study techniques are clearly taught in content area courses. Together, these techniques provide treatment or assistance to help people with learning difficulties get beyond obstacles and succeed in their academic goals (Kimberly Paulsen, 2013).
