Early Signs of a Learning Disability

Monday, October 19, 2009 by Michelle Pentz

Signs of a Learning Disability can present early in a child’s school experience. In preschool it can present as: a communication delay, such as slow onset of expressive language, understanding of language, or speech sound production problem. In elementary school it can present as difficulty learning, forming letters and numbers, problems with reading comprehension, sounding out words, blending sounds together, problems organizing materials or thoughts for written assignments, inability following oral directions, and losing/forgetting materials.   

If you have a question or concern, please talk with your child’s teacher and consider scheduling an intake appointment with a speech therapist or educator at Child and Family Development.
