Is it a learning disability? Could it be?

Wikipedia says: “In the United States and Canada, the terms learning disability, learning disabilities, and learning disorders (LD) refer to a group of disorders that affect a broad range of academic and functional skills including the ability to speak, listen, read, write, spell, reason and organize information.

A learning disability is not indicative of low intelligence. Indeed, research indicates that some people with learning disabilities may have average or above-average intelligence. Causes of learning disabilities include a deficit in the brain that affects the processing of information.”

According to The National Center for Learning Disabilities (NCLD) approximately 5% of children enrolled in public school in the United States have some form of learning disability.

• Misunderstand what you say?
• Request that information be repeated?
• Give slow or delayed responses?
• Have problems finding the right words to say?
• Seem reluctant to engage in conversations?
• Display intolerance or obsession for certain tastes, textures, smells, sounds, etc.?

At school does your child often:

• Have difficulty remembering/following directions?
• Not remember the question when called upon in class?
• Seem to phase out or daydream?
• Do poorly in noisy situations?
• Have difficulty with phonics (sounding words out)?
• Seem uncoordinated compared to classmates?
• Have reading and/or spelling problems?
• Have unexplained behavior problems?

These learning challenges are often overlooked or labeled as “laziness”, day dreaming” or simply “your child’s not trying.”

You know your child is bright and is doing his/her best but they just don’t learn the way the other kids do.

You’re right!

Every child learns differently and by applying neurologically based therapeutic programs your child can overcome those learning challenges and be successful academically.
