Saving money is for public education, how to save money with your credit card. You do not have a lot of money on other things, and the minimum monthly payment is not really a problem.

Until it is.

Public education, especially the aspects of public education, the other services of specialist teachers need training, cost a little more. But the supply of these therapeutic services for children while they are still in school, is comparable to reimburse these costs. Pay now or pay later, but someone has to pay - and interest - sooner or later.

That's exactly how it is with the need of the public education system for children to do with learning problems.

A 2011 Ministry of Education Reference document provides a general definition: "Learning disabilities refer to a number of conditions, which could affect the acquisition, organization, retention, understanding or verbal or nonverbal information."

These diseases, experts, affect language processing, memory, attention and "executive" functions such as planning and decision making.

Learning disabilities may also have difficulty with organizational skills, social perception, social interaction and shooting.

Most learning disabilities are lifelong, but with early intervention, can learn adults with such disabilities to compensate effectively and to lead productive lives.

The irony is that, at least in the early stages of school age in the life of an individual, such interventions are relatively inexpensive compared to the long-term costs of corrective measures.

Basic arithmetic shows that due to insufficient training of specialized staff or teachers to save money in the class as a credit card, simply move the cost of more success in the pocket of the taxpayer's future.

Research from the Canada Learning Disabilities Association estimates carried out that the average annual cost of adult education is difficult for taxpayers approximately $ 707 million. This number is obtained by the cost of long direct word count, including a variety of social and health services, medicines, services of criminal justice and the cost of unemployability as income transfers, including unemployment insurance, workers compensation and welfare of the province.

The cost of inadequate support recovery for public school career of an individual provision is much higher than what might be the costs to provide these services.

The Association of Learning Disabilities Vancouver reported that 35 percent of students identified with a decline of learning disabilities of high school, twice the rate of non-disabled peers, and up to 70 percent of inmates in Canadian prisons learn disabled.

A 2014 newspaper article, a report of the Correctional Service of Canada cited the order estimates for one person, the cost to Canada of one year in prison, it is $ 117,788, 46 percent a decade ago.

Assuming that a professor who specializes in the treatment of learning disorders a college degree and 10 years experience in the treatment of learning problems, the cost would be less than $ 100,000 per year, salaries and benefits, including.

This teacher is likely that many children with learning disabilities supported by varying degrees - sometimes more than one school.

Supports difficulties in Kate Raven, executive director of the Association of Learning Disabilities in Vancouver schools in Canada, a 2016 paper learning suggests that more than 12 percent of Canadians (over three million people) have some kind of disability of learning.

Vancouver Association reports that 43 percent of people with intellectual disabilities live at or below the poverty line.

Barbara Young Arrowsmith, the author of the international bestseller The woman who changed to develop your brain, writes: "Young people who are struggling with learning difficulties adults with learning disabilities who have [many marginalized populations and the most vulnerable to risky behavior and mental problems call] than those who do, are overrepresented .... the actual costs, medical and social, may be impossible. "

And there is a problem of a different set.
