READING
Children may experience a variety of learning challenges that impact decoding, fluency, or comprehension. Dyslexia is a specific learning disorder that impacts reading and spelling performance. Its origins are neurobiological. Deficits in the phonological component of language impact a child’s accurate and fluent recall of words and decoding abilities.
MATH
For students with math weaknesses, it is important to evaluate knowledge of math facts, math calculation procedures, and math-based word problems. Individuals with dyscalculia, have impairment in their ability to apply math knowledge and concepts they have been taught.
WRITING
Dysgraphia (handwriting impairment) may impact a child’s ability to write numbers and letters and generate frustration during the writing process. Written expression disorders impact an individual’s ability to effectively convey ideas when writing.
