Why is my child’s performance in class poor? Why is he/she inattentive? Lets find out

Class work : Do you know of any one or have a child who is finding it difficult to cope in the class?

  Does you child write in this manner?   

Difficulties in Classroom:

  • Are parent teachers meetings a nightmare for you?
  • Do you dread opening your child’s notebooks?
  • Is your child bullied by his classmates, scolded by his teachers and in some cases beaten by the parents, tutors and teachers?
  • Is your child finding reading, writing or spellings difficult ?
  • Do you know of a child who was known more as a  “good for nothing” , “careless”,  “dumb child” than his own name?
  • Have you as a parent been really trying hard with your child to make him study well and score well in the exams but in the end felt frustrated at the non performance of your child?
  • Have you been told that as a parent, you don’t give enough time to your child? Too busy with your own work?
  • Does your child have a poor handwriting, which is difficult for you , the teachers and the child to read himself?

May be there is a reason beyond the control of your child for his lack of performance in studies.

Your child could be having an invisible disability.

This invisible disability is called learning disability. It is a disability which is invisible, because a child looks and behaves normal, but is not able to read or write.

What exactly is learning disability then?

The term learning disabilities refers to a neurological disorder in one or more of the basic processes involved in understanding spoken or written language. This brain variance may influence an individual’s ability to speak, listen, read, write, spell, reason, organize information, or do mathematical calculations. If provided with the right support and intervention, a child with learning disabilities can succeed in school and have and have a successful, and often distinguished, career later in life.

Because their difficulties are not obvious, learning disabled persons are often misunderstood and maligned. They are accused of “not listening”, of “being lazy”, of “being clumsy”, or “being weird”. Not understanding their own problem, they often experience loss of self esteem and feelings of worthlessness.

SOME EMINENT PEOPLE WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES

These are only to name a few, who struggled through their formative years of school and yet succeeded.

Can the children be helped? Yes they can, and the most important aspect is the diagnosis of a problem

Once identified, intervention can be provided for the same. Turning point does assessments as well as provides intervention for Learning Disability.
