Learning Disability
There are a wide range of disabilities in children and one of the
most significant is learning disability. This disability primarily
affects effective learning making the performance of the
children relatively poor. The diagnosis of this disability should
take place when the child is relatively young. It is much easier
to work towards eliminating the symptoms of learning disability
when they are few and less complex and this is when a child is
relatively young. No one wants to be an “alarmist” and put her
child through an evaluation for trivial or transient bumps along
the road to reading. Evaluations can take time, and those carried
out privately can be expensive. Most parents and teachers delay
evaluating a child with reading difficulties because they believe
the problems are just temporary, that they will be outgrown.
This is simply not true. Learning disability are not outgrown,
they are persistent. Children who struggle poorly in preschool
continue to have problems in the future. What may seem to be
tolerable and overlooked at a young age certainly won’t be in a
high grade level. Without identification and proven
interventions virtually all children who struggle with
difficulties with assessments early on will struggle there whole
life. Even though teachers and physicians want to wait for the
child to be in a high grade level before they evaluated for a
learning disability, but I feel that once they start any kind of
schooling and they are struggle with any kind of assignment
that they should be evaluated then, not to wait until they are in
a higher grade because they are too young to be evaluated.
The issue of learning disability among the young children
creates concerns both for the parents and for the schools. The
disability of the children should be diagnosed at the early stage

2. and the schools and doctors should not wait till they grow up.
Early diagnosis is very important. Since children are young and
if their disability is diagnosed very early some treatment can be
ensured for them. Moreover, both parents and teachers can
specify the learning programs and methods for them. this would
help the children to adopt with the environment and they would
not feel themselves alien to the things at schools as they would
have grown in the same environment.
Learning disabilities are very common in some of the students.
Obviously, schools and doctors should do testing for the
disability at the earlier age and should not wait for the students
to reach at certain levels to diagnose of learning disabilities.
Studies have shown that learning disabilities can be resolved
very effectively if it is found at earlier stage. So, there is no
point to wait to diagnose a learning disability from children
when they are in first or second grade...
Schools and doctors should do all the possible means to
diagnose learning disabilities of kids at a young age so that it
can be handled effectively… A learning disability cannot be
healed or fixed and it is a lifetime challenge… But, with proper
support and intervention, people with learning disabilities can
attain success in school, at work, in relationships, and in the
community. Child with a learning disability should get the exact
assistance to trounce classroom challenges and thrive in life.
This is the reason why schools and doctors should not want to
wait to diagnose a learning disability from children when they
are in first or second grade…
Studies have shown that learning disabilities are neurologically
centered processing troubles. It can impede with learning basic
skills of kids such as reading, writing and math. Learning
disabilities used to obstruct with higher level skills such as
organization, time planning, abstract reasoning, long or short
term memory and concentration. It is vital to understand that
learning disabilities can have an effect on an individual’s life
outside academics and can influence relations with family,
friends and in the place of work. Therefore, child with a

to their unique learning styles and schools and doctors should
do testing for the disability at the earlier age.
By understanding more about learning disabilities overall, and
child’s learning difficulties particularly, one can help pave the
way for success at school and beyond. This is the reason why
doctors should do testing for the disability at the earlier age.
