LEARNING DISABILITIES

Types of Learning Disabilities ADD/ADHD: difficulties of inattention or hyperactivity and impulsiveness Dyslexia: impairs a person's fluency or comprehension accuracy in being able to read Learning Disability: a broad term that often represents a child who has a high potential for learning, but whose actual achievements do not reflect their potential.

What We Treat Speech Therapy Receptive and expressive language problems Reading and writing skills based on problems from medical diagnosis Other potential communication problems
* We do not diagnose specific learning disabilities. In addition, it is important to note that while we treat many of the symptoms that frequently accompany these disorders; we are not going to cure the diagnosis.

Occupational Therapy Problems taking in sensory information based on learning disability Becoming functional in their environment

Age of Diagnosis Children are often diagnosed with learning disabilities once they enter school. A child attending a highly structured Pre-K may be diagnosed as early as four, whereas some may not be diagnosed until middle or high school.

Symptoms Symptoms to look for in children who may need our services: Vocabulary appropriate for age Grammar sentence structure and subject/verb agreement Ability to follow directions Problems reading and writing
