Learning disorder
It is important to understand Learning Disorder/Disabilities in children (LD) and manage the situation effectively.
Many children encounter difficulties with reading, writing, or other learning-related tasks at different stages of their education. These challenges do not necessarily indicate the presence of a learning disability. Learning disabilities are characterized by a persistent pattern of difficulties that do not improve over time. The manifestations of learning disabilities can differ significantly from one individual to another. It is so important for teachers and parents to share notes on the development of a child together.
What should parents do when your child is struggling with schoolwork, falling behind their peers, unable to read and having difficulty with Math. Do they experience LD? Parents and teachers working together and comprehensive special education services are the secret to success for many children with specific learning disabilities.
Symptoms parents and teachers might observe.
While the signs of learning disabilities can vary, there are some common indicators that may suggest a child has a learning disability. They may have one or more of the following:
- Difficulty recognizing letters, words and spelling.
- Difficulty understanding and following instructions.
- Difficulty understanding the concept of numbers (Math).
- Poor handwriting or difficulty forming letters and numbers.
- Difficulty with time management and understanding time-related concepts.
- Problems with memory both short-term and long-term.
- Difficulty with attention and focus.• Challenges with following directions and staying organized.
- Professional Evaluation and Diagnosis.
If a child consistently exhibits several of these signs, it may be helpful to seek a professional evaluation from a psychologist, neurologist, or educational specialist. An accurate diagnosis typically involves a combination of observations, standardized tests, and assessments of the child’s developmental, medical, and educational history. It’s crucial to remember that only trained professionals can diagnose learning disabilities.
