What is a Learning Difference?

The term learning difference includes any child who is struggling with learning, whether or not the child meets school requirements for having a learning disability or has been diagnosed with dyslexia, dyscalculia, or dysgraphia. A child with a learning difference is capable of learning, but he needs instruction that recognizes his unique way of learning and gives him the tools to overcome the challenges a learning difference creates.

There is no magic formula to reveal learning differences. As a parent, you know your child best and should rely on your instincts when you feel that something is not right with your child's learning experiences. Learn some of the signs that your child may have a learning difference so you can take the next steps in helping them.
