If your child is struggling with reading or math, there is a chance they might have a learning disability such as dyslexia, ADHD, or dyscalculia. Any of these conditions can make education difficult and even uncomfortable for your child, but they do not have to affect their success.
Here are three important things you should know about learning disabilities:
- Know the signs: The first important thing to know about learning disabilities is the signs you should watch out for. If your child’s grades seem to be lacking, it could have more to do with a condition they don’t know how to control than the effort they’re putting forth. Pay attention to notice if they get easily distracted, struggle with pronouncing words, or struggle with reading and writing basic numbers. If you think your child might have a learning disability and needs help, we can assess them for their skills, abilities, and struggles to create a plan to address their specific issues.
- Success is still possible: It’s especially important to recognize that learning disabilities of any kind do not have to determine the level of your child’s success. It only means that they need different and additional support in their learning to achieve the same success as the rest of their peers.
- Early intervention is best: The earlier you can recognize learning disabilities and find effective support for your child, the better success they will find in their academic career. You can come to us at Academic Associates Learning Center, and we will create a personalized plan for your child’s academic support and provide one-on-one instruction in math and reading programs to help your child succeed.
