Dyslexic Children: Overview
Dyslexic children are often challenged with reading and writing activities. They have difficulty learning how to decode words, to spell, and to read accurately and fluently. It can also make mathematics hard as children with dyslexia might mix up the numbers. This difficulty can make school hard and frustrating. Low self-esteem is common among children who have the symptoms. Dyslexia has been found in people with different levels of intelligence. Substantial evidence has shown dyslexia to be a neurological problem which means that to remediate the problem, a program that exercises the mind is most helpful such as cognitive skills training.

Dyslexic Children: Symptoms
Dyslexic children often find themselves having difficulty doing things that other children don’t have trouble with. This can cause that child to not only display low self-esteem, but ultimately avoid those things, assuming they won’t get better. There are two main problems with that. The first is that if the child avoids the problem, progression is nearly impossible. The second problem is that so much of school requires reading and writing skills. They are essential to the learning process.

Dyslexic Children: Remedial Action
Children with dyslexia can benefit greatly by going through cognitive skills training. Fact: over 80% of all learning difficulties are caused by weak cognitive skills. Here at LearningRx, we specialize in cognitive skills training through unique exercises designed to stimulate and work the areas that are weak and causing problems. Other programs, that are designed to work on the symptoms, fail at getting to the root of the problem, which is why their results are fairly unsuccessful. So where should you get started? We recommend that you first have your child take a cognitive skills assessment to find out exactly what is causing the problems and to see if weak cognitive skills are the problem.
