School Fear High in Learning Disability and Special Needs Kids

Aug. 29, 2011 - PRLog -- Come September and most kids and parents alike begin to undergo a sinking feeling as many ‘first day school goers’ ready to face the big bad world out there. Sadly, this feeling is magnified many times in special needs children for whom the school signifies nothing positive. Kids with learning disabilities fear school tremendously and often imagine the worst about it, which makes their first day in school rather difficult.

Thankfully, today our schools offer special education teachers who are able to make school a more pleasant experience for children suffering from learning disabilities. However, there is a persistent need to inculcate positive thoughts in these children regarding school so as to help them learn and adopt the life here with greater ease.

ZYouSoft CEO, Samir Hanna Safar believes that early reading picture books can go a long way in developing these positive vibes towards school. Their latest book, The “Yellow Pig Goes to School” is designed exactly on these lines. The warm and friendly Yellow Pig has already taken the kids on a trip to the zoo and now he goes on to explore the unknown world of school.

Sodad has ensured that the text stays positive right through the entire book, which the illustrations also follow a pleasant flow. Looking neat and clean for the first day of school and then having a healthy breakfast is given its due importance, but the stress is on the dream world of the Yellow Pig. Setting off on his imaginative journey, the Yellow Pig takes children suffering from dyslexia and autism with him to explore the school. Dreaming of making ‘new friends’ in this ‘special place’ called school helps kids to let go off their fears and apprehensions and thereby have a more positive approach to school. Leaving behind the comfort of toys and familiar settings has also be handled well by the Yellow Pig, who bids them ‘farewell’ and imagines the several new toys and games that school will have to offer.

Most of the Yellow Pig series are available on Kindle, iPhone and iPad Apps too, and one can buy these books on Amazon.com. The character has specially been designed to appeal to the senses of early readers who need to open the doors of their dream world and let their imagination soar in the positive direction.
