How to Help Children Overcome Specific Learning Difficulties
Is your intelligent child failing to learn? Does your child show inconsistent ability with subjects at school? Are some of these problems linked to poor memory, inattention, speech and language, visual or auditory processing difficulties, or a lack of co-ordination?
Learning difficulties affect a child's capacity to master fundamental skills such as reading, writing, spelling and maths. Even though one in ten children has specific learning difficulties, all too often they go unnoticed for far too long. The effects of this can be devastating, and unless prompt action is taken, feelings of failure accompanied by low self-esteem can shape the child's life.
This is an essential guide for parents and teachers of children who experience problems with learning. It will help to determine: whether your child has a specific learning difficulty; why these difficulties arise; what you can do to help them deal with the problem; how you can provide the best support in the home and classroom; and where you can go for help.
It will help you turn what can often seem like insurmountable problems into comprehensible issues to be worked on and improved. No longer is there any reason for your child to feel thwarted and frustrated by what were once considered unbeatable learning difficulties. It will help you help your child to reach their fullest potential.
