If your child struggles with a learning disability, home instruction can help
Parents play a major role in helping their children understand the subjects they are struggling with in school, but if a learning disability is the cause, a parent’s job becomes a lot harder. The nightly routine of helping with homework can turn into episodes filled with frustration.
While children with learning disabilities are often diagnosed and placed on an IEP, many are not. This leaves it to the student and the parent trying to figure out what’s wrong.
Learning, emotional, and behavioral disabilities commonly mis-diagnosed include:
- Dyslexia
- ADD/ADHD
- Visual Perceptual/Visual Motor Deficit
- Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
- Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
- Anxiety Disorder
If your child is struggling, we know you want to help them both inside and outside the classroom. But for most school districts, students who are having problems in school—especially those who have not been diagnosed—are typically about six months to a year out from actually receiving help. In the meantime, they get further behind and may even lead you to consider homeschooling your child.
We’re here to provide some teaching help. By providing the best educational resources and support, we will help you learn how to add to what teachers are already doing in the classroom within your own home.
