Learning Disability
Many children with learning disorders, also called learning disabilities, struggle in school long before being diagnosed. This can affect a child's self-esteem and motivation. A learning disorder is an information-processing problem that prevents a person from learning a skill and using it effectively. Learning disorders generally affect people of average or above average intelligence. As a result, the disorder appears as a gap between expected skills, based on age and intelligence, and academic performance.
Signs & Symptoms
Your child might have a learning disorder if he or she doesn't master skills in reading, spelling, writing, or math at or near the expected age and grade levels, difficulty understanding and following instructions, or trouble remembering what someone just told him or her, Lacks coordination in walking, sports or skills such as holding a pencil, and difficulty understanding the concept of time.
Diagnosis
Early intervention is essential because the problem can snowball. A child who doesn't learn to add in elementary school won't be able to tackle algebra in high school. Children who have learning disorders can also experience performance anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, chronic fatigue, or loss of motivation. Some children might act out to distract attention from their challenges at school.
Treatment
If your child has a learning disorder, your child's doctor or school might recommend extra help, an Individualized education program, Accommodations, Therapy, Medication, and Complementary and alternative medicine.
