(HealthDay)—Many children have difficulty with learning at some point, but those with learning

disabilities often have several specific and persistent signs, which can start in preschool years.
Recognizing them as soon as possible allows a child to get needed help and make better
progress.General signs include difficulty with reading, writing, math skills, understanding or
following directions, paying attention, retaining information, staying organized or understanding
words or concepts, including time, according to the U.S. National Institute of Child Health and
Human Development.You or a teacher may also notice problems with behavior, such as not
responding appropriately to situations or when dealing with new things.
Signs of learning problems in preschoolers include starting to talk later than their peers, having a
hard time pronouncing words and learning the alphabet, numbers and days of the week,
extreme restlessness, difficulty interacting with their peers and following a simple routine. You
might notice that the child struggles with rhyming words and that his vocabulary is slow to
increase—one sign of this is not being able to find the right word when talking.In elementary
school-aged kids, signs of learning difficulty might include confusing basic words, transposing or
substituting letters, numbers and arithmetic signs, acting impulsive and even having poor
coordination or being accident-prone. A child may be slow to learn or
have difficulty remembering lessons.Developing the right plan for your child starts with getting a
professional evaluation. Often teachers are the ones to pick up problems, but if you're
concerned, talk to your pediatrician or the school psychologist.An evaluation involves academic
and psychological testing as well as a review of the child's developmental, school and social
performance. Once a determination is made, an individualized education plan, or IEP, can be
developed. Needed educational services may be paid for by the government, so don't delay.
