Children Learning disorders may struggle to understand a subject despite their best efforts can get frustrated, feel helpless, or withdraw out of frustration. Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, and other emotional or behavioural disorders may occur along with learning disorders. It can be particularly challenging for children to succeed in school when multiple problems overlap. It is essential to correctly diagnose each disorder so that the child can get the appropriate treatment.
Children with learning disorders often need extra help and instruction that are specialized for them. Having a learning disorder can qualify a child for special education services in school. Generally, an important first step is to understand the child’s learning difficulties and consider how they will affect their communication, self-help skills, willingness to accept discipline, impact on play, and capacity for independence. Such problems deserve a comprehensive evaluation by an expert who can assess all of the different issues affecting the child.
The assessment process may involve:
Depending on the child’s age and the difficulties, different tests may be required:
- A preliminary analysis of the child's educational background
- Standardised cognitive assessment (capacity for thinking and reasoning) - WISC
- Academic skills testing that is standardised (WIAT)
- Other relevant tests, if necessary (to evaluate working memory difficulties or attention/focus, for example)
- A thorough examination report with a concise summary and an outcome
- Specific suggestions for at-home and in-class learning
- Detailed parent feedback session to address all of your concerns
