Match the Following

Match List –I with List –II

List I disabilities	List II Affected abilities
A.	Sensory	I.	Talented
B.	Intellectual	II.	Dyslexdia
C.	Developmental	III.	Cerebral Palsy
D.	Learning	IV.	Autism

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Correct option is C

The correct matches between the disabilities and the affected abilities are as follows: A-III, B-I, C-IV, D-II
· Sensory - Cerebral Palsy: Cerebral Palsy primarily affects motor functions and movement. It may impact sensory processing but does not directly target cognitive functions.
· Intellectual - Talented: This option relates to giftedness or intellectual disabilities, affecting cognitive abilities and intellectual functioning.
· Developmental - Autism: Autism is a developmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interactions.
· Learning - Dyslexia: Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that affects reading and language processing abilities.
Information Booster:
1. Sensory Disabilities: Include impairments in vision, hearing, and other senses that affect how individuals perceive the world around them.
2. Intellectual Disabilities: These involve limitations in intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior, which covers social and practical skills.
3. Developmental Disabilities: These are a group of conditions that begin during the developmental period and may impact physical, learning, language, or behavior areas.
4. Learning Disabilities: These are neurological conditions that affect an individual’s ability to process information, leading to difficulties in reading, writing, and mathematics.
5. Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD): A developmental disorder characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication.
6. Dyslexia: A common learning disability that makes it difficult for individuals to read and understand written language.
Additional Information:
· Cerebral Palsy (Sensory): Though primarily a motor disorder, CP can also affect sensory functions, depending on the severity and areas of the brain involved.
· Giftedness (Intellectual): Refers to individuals who demonstrate exceptional levels of aptitude or competence in one or more domains. On the other hand, intellectual disabilities refer to significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behavior.
· Autism (Developmental): Often identified in early childhood, autism impacts how a person perceives and interacts with others, and can include repetitive behaviors and communication challenges.
· Dyslexia (Learning): This learning disorder is related specifically to difficulties in reading and is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition and by poor spelling abilities.
Key Points:
· Intellectual disabilities affect cognitive and social functions.
· Autism is primarily a developmental disorder with a broad range of symptoms.
· Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that does not correlate with overall intellectual ability.
· Cerebral Palsy, while primarily motor-related, can affect sensory integration.
