As parents, it’s crucial to comprehend what this condition is and how to support your child effectively. But what is a learning disability? In my over 30 years of clinical experience, I’ve seen lots of children with learning disability coming to me for
Learning disabilities are neurological conditions that can affect the way individuals acquire, organize, store, and use information. There is a wide range of learning problems, and they can manifest in various ways. My many years of experience in clinical psychology have shown me that there are more than seven learning disability types. Even so, there are seven main categories in
There is an intricate relationship between Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Dyslexia. ADHD, a neurological disorder, manifests through symptoms such as inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity, affecting various aspects of life, from school performance to social interactions. Dyslexia, on the other hand, is a specific learning disability, primarily characterized by difficulties in reading, writing, and spelling, despite adequate intelligence and
As a specific learning disability that affects reading and writing, dyslexia can have a significant impact on a student’s ability to learn and succeed in the classroom. Fortunately, students with dyslexia are entitled to receive accommodations and services under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973. Students with dyslexia are also entitled to direct remediation services if they qualify
Nationwide, 20% of the elementary school population is struggling) with reading while one in five students has a language-based learning disability. Currently, 80% of children with an IEP have reading difficulty, 85% of whom are diagnosed with dyslexia, a language-based learning disability. Due to a lack of educator and administration understanding, Dyslexics are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed too late for early intervention
Children and teens with dyslexia experience difficulties processing a language’s basic sounds. Dyslexia is also called auditory dyslexia because of how dyslexia impacts how the brain processes phonemes. With dyslexia, the human brain can’t accurately or efficiently process sounds or language. Auditory dyslexia makes it hard for kids to distinguish the minor sound differences between words. They also need to
Although dyslexia is getting prevalent, it’s often misunderstood and misdiagnosed. Most still believe it is a visual problem when it is a language-based disorder with a problem in the brain in hearing or interpreting the sounds (phonemes) accurately. It is an auditory processing or phonological processing problem. If they can’t accurately identify the phonemes, they can’t map the sounds to
Dyslexia’s neurobiological origin makes it a learning disability characterized by difficulties in word recognition, decoding, and spelling. Kids with dyslexia exhibit language deficits that affect phonological processing. Dyslexia affects written and oral language. For example, children with dyslexia struggle with letters, numbers, writing, and phonics. Mapping letters to sounds is at the heart of dyslexia and affects how they decode
Dyslexia, Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), and Executive Functioning Disorder (EFD) are the three of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders that school-age children suffer from. These cognitive challenges are connected in many ways because most of their symptoms overlap and impact children’s learning. Due to the associated stress, these clinical issues also impact children’s mental health. Processing information slowly or inefficiently
Watching your child wrestle with reading can be a tough experience. If they struggle to identify letters or sound out words, it’s natural to feel concerned. However, understanding that your child may have dyslexia can be the first step toward helping them thrive.
