Understanding Learning Difficulties in Children
Learning difficulties in children can affect their ability to acquire academic skills, such as reading, writing, and mathematics. These challenges can impact their self-esteem, academic performance, and overall well-being. Early intervention and support are crucial in helping children overcome learning difficulties and achieve their full potential.
Symptoms of Learning Difficulties
Symptoms of learning disorders may include:
- Challenges in understanding the concept of time
- Challenges in recognising patterns or sorting items by size or shape
- Difficulties in telling left from right
- Reversing letters, numbers, or words
- Difficulty comprehending and following instructions
- Difficulty remembering what was just said or read
- Lack of coordination when moving around
- Difficulties while doing tasks that require hands, such as writing, cutting or drawing
