Early Diagnosis and Treatment of Reading Disabilities Begins in Kindergarten
Child and Family Development’s educators are strongly committed to identifying leaning disabilities in young children. Dyslexia in particular presents its warning signs early in a preschool and kindergarten child’s development. The educators at Child and Family Development use a variety of standardized testing tools to help determine if a child’s early learning development is within expectations.
For example, the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test 3rd edition (WIAT-III), which is in its latest edition, is one tool that examines the Early Reading Skills of children ages 4 years of age through 3rd grade. Skills such as alphabet knowledge, rhyming, sound blending, sound symbol correspondence and simple sight word reading are assessed. Unusual difficulty in one of these skills can predict an emerging reading disability.
At Child and Family Development, the educators will screen pre-kindergarten and kindergarten aged children for the early warning signs of a Reading Disability and will provide the parents with research driven recommendations that help to secure the right intervention for their child. Unrecognized, Reading Disabilities can turn a child’s joy of learning into one of disappointment and frustration. When a Reading Disabilities is identified and treated early, it can be overcome.
