Learning Disabilities

(Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, Dyscalculia)

Is your child having trouble with reading, writing, or math? Are their grades suffering despite efforts and support at school?

Learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math, often known as dyslexia, dyscalculia, and dysgraphia, might be the cause. These difficulties are often first noticed by teachers, but parents can also observe unique characteristics. Collaboration between teachers and parents is crucial for understanding a child's development.

Characteristics Teachers Might See:

• Struggles with connecting letters and sounds.

• Confuses common words like "run," "eat," and "want."

• Consistently makes reading and spelling errors, including letter reversals (b/d), inversions (m/w), transpositions (felt/left), and substitutions (house/home).

• Difficulty grasping basic math concepts.

• Struggles with prefixes, suffixes, root words, and spelling strategies.

Characteristics Parents Might Notice:

• Difficulty following directions or routines.

• Dreads going to school.

• Homework problems.

• Slow progress in acquiring new skills.

• Struggles with numbers, the alphabet, days of the week, colors, and shapes.

• Difficulty keeping track of papers and assignments.

If you see these signs in your child, it's essential to screening, evaluation, or consultation to address potential learning disabilities.
