What are learning disabilities and how do they affect children?

Learning disabilities are neurological differences that affect how a child understands, processes, or communicates information. These challenges can impact reading, writing, math, memory, and focus. Conditions like dyslexia and dyscalculia fall under this umbrella, but many children experience broader difficulties that are often misunderstood. With the right support, they can succeed both in and out of school.

How to recognize signs of a learning disability?

You might notice your child avoids schoolwork, struggles to follow instructions, forgets what they’ve learned, or reads or writes slowly. They may become frustrated, say they "hate school," or fall behind despite putting in effort. These signs can point to a learning disability—and early evaluation by a specialist helps you take the next step with clarity and compassion.
