Learning Differences

Assessment

Your answers to these seven questions can indicate if your child has potential learning challenges.

  1. Is your child having difficulty recognizing letters or numbers?
  2. Is your child having difficulty following a two-step direction?
  3. Is your child having difficulty holding his pencil with his thumb and index finger?
  4. Is your child having difficulty answering before and after questions?
  5. Is your child having difficulty understanding left and right?
  6. Is your child having difficulty pronouncing some sounds or words?
  7. Is your child having difficulty copying simple geometric figures with accuracy?

If you answered "Yes" to three or more of these questions, your child may benefit from an educational assessment.
