PARENTS

Having a child is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.

Elizabeth Stone, educator

When children are hurt, parental emotions trigger a call to action. But what if the hurt is invisible? What if the struggle is not seen or the effects are not felt until years later? This is the path of a child with a learning difference.

A constitutional learning difference is a person with average to above average intelligence, who is at risk for failing when exposed to standard methods of education, due to neurological processing difficulties.

This is not analogous to effort.

Common learning differences

Dyslexia

(Decoding, Spelling)

ADHD

oral language disorders

dysgraphia

(Handwriting)

dyscalculia

(Math)

Learning Differences affect approximately 20 percent of the population or one in five children and adults.

A learning difference is not overt or transparent like a skinned knee — unless the soft signs are present and the eye is trained to see them.

Fun fact: did you know the early signs of a LD can be observed as early as 2 years old?

I do!

Never fear, Amy is here!
