Dyslexia

Early identification and intervention are important.
A child who is "at risk" for a learning disability can be identified early and given help.
Parents need to see if there were developmental delays like onset of speech.
A child who is identified very late has gaps in skill areas and this makes it difficult for them to cope with their class level academics.
Children are often identified by :
- Parents who teach them and find their processing very different.
- Teachers at school who find a gap between their oral and written performance and between their potential and performance.
- Paediatricians and Neurologists who the child may be taken to first.
An Assessment provides a starting point for teaching and building of skills.
