Learning disability therapy can happen to both adults and children, however, can often be spotted very early in your child's growth. There is no cure for learning disabilities, however, early intervention can help to decrease the effects.
If treated from a young age, people with learning disabilities can develop a number of coping mechanisms to aid with their learning. The earlier they learn such techniques, the more likely they'll be able to apply them daily and practice to improve their skills during academia. Avoiding early intervention can result in stress both within and outside of school such as distance from other children and consequently social struggles.
While every child develops at their own rate, there are a number of early signs that would suggest that your child may have a learning disability. Here are some of the symptoms that you should look out for:
While one of these on their own should be no cause for concern, it's still important to have your child looked at by a professional. A professional will be able to determine whether your child needs any additional support and the best coping mechanisms to limit short and long-term impact.
