HAMED MASOUMI Learning disabilities are often hard to pinpoint in young children. Most children have some difficulties with learning and behavior from time to time. If your child is having a clear or persistent pattern of problems with one or more of these behaviors during the early school years, and the problem persists over time, you should consider seeking further advice:
- Learning the alphabet
- Rhyming words
- Connecting sounds and letters
- Copying letters and numbers
- Learning new vocabulary
- Retelling stories
- Counting
- Remembering newly learned information
- Paying attention
- Playing with peers
- Moving from one activity to another
- Following directions and routines
For more information about getting help for your young child, see "Being an Advocate for Your Pre-school Child". This fact sheet is an introductory guide to help parents and guardians get help and services if they believe their young child has a learning disability.
