Learning Disabilities in Preschoolers
Have you ever wondered if your preschool child or a preschool child you know has learning disabilities? Perhaps you have wondered why this child seem different, slightly though it may be, from his/her peers. So what clues should one watch out for to know if a child in preschool age has manifestations of a learning disability? 1. Communication delays. Does the child exhibit difficulty in understanding directions? Does the child have difficulties communicating his/her thoughts? Does the child have difficulties in seemingly understanding what is being said?
2. Speech problems like poor pronunciation of words and articulation problems are examples.
3. Poor physical and/or motor coordination. Problem with using scissors? Always tripping on his own feet? Unable to write letters and numbers correctly?
4. Memory and routine problems. Can't seem to remember what tasks to do? Have forgotten what has been done a few moments ago? Can't seem to count properly using rote memory and recite the letters of the alphabet in the correct sequence no matter how many times these has been taught?
5. Difficulties in doing multiple instructions.
6. Socialization and interaction delays with children. In suspecting if a child has a learning disability, there are really no definite characteristics to measure. A child can have several of these characteristics, but not just one. A learning disability manifests itself when school-based standards and demands on a specific grade level are not met. Of course, it is also good to know if the current school's standards are not so "advanced" that these requirements are not what the grade level should be having. Some schools are like that so it is best to know the different developmental milestones of the child according to his/her age. Keeping records intact is also a big help.
