Early Signs of Learning Disabilities The first years in school are a special time. Parents watch anxiously from the sidelines as kids venture off, making new friends. As magical as these years are, parents should watch for signs that everything is going well academically. The key to treating learning disabilities is catching them early. The problem is that the signs are easy to miss. Children may start talking late. When they do start talking, they may have trouble pronouncing some words. They may have trouble hearing the separate sounds in a word, making it hard for them to locate rhyming words or beginning sounds. While these problems are subtle, they cause real trouble learning to read. Having a learning disability is hard - early detection is the best hope for helping kids overcome challenges and succeed at school and in life. Lorraine Campbell, PHD., C.Psych.
