Re: My Child has a Learning Disability - Now What?
I would say that it’s very noble for those parents who has a child like that. I really admire them for having a major courage and patience for their children in dealing with them. Keep it up parents!
My Child has a Learning Disability - Now What?
I find myself crying and asking what can I do to help my son. I’m just learning he has LD, and this is because the psychologist who ran a battery of test, psychological, IQ, emotional,etc concluded that my son is ADD/LD,
well believe it or not he is now in high school, and the doctor said I have micro-managed him all those years is how he made it..I hadn’t realized that I micro-managed him so indepth..I just figured it was a boy thing.. not listening.. being forgetful daydreaming, messing work, not able to make friends…can’t remember simply tasks.. easily distracted, can’t focus..well U get the pic..now he’s in HS.. I’m crying everyday.. because I can’t mirco-manage him any longer..when he comes in from school he’s so tired.. he just sleeps..I thought well maybe he needs special education.. well, No they said, he’s not special ed, he just learns differently..well nobody helped me in figuring out how to structure his learning… if you try and get help outside the public school system it so costly..like private school with smaller classes, one on one learning center..It’s hard when you had one child that soared in school, and that always seems depressed about school because he’s always falling behind. I am considering home school, can anyone share how that has worked for them. thanks so much

You just have to work with the child’s self confidence, find the things he / she like and use that as a tool to learn. My son (who have now graduated from high school)was academically challenged in reading and math but he was a natural at singing, playing the piano and drums. He could do all of these things without reading music but because he like these things so much he did not have a problem with learning how to read music, so when it came to reading books and doing math, I turned it into something he liked to do, such as help him read a book and have him turn it into a song. He started to get familiar with words and became more confident with his reading skills.
