Review
This video gives a brief advise about suspected learning disabilities on children. The content is well organised and the procedure is demonstrated in easy understandable steps. The video highlights the fact that parents should not wait in such a case and the expert in the video is explaining that learning disabilities are a serious concern and won’t dissappear in a child’s life. The main advice here is, parents have to gather as much as information about learning disabilites as they can and they should write down every point where their children have struggle with learning. Another important fact which is touched on is that the parents should also request their children’ teachers and other school personnel to do the same. With the help of the collected information, the parents and also the school personnel have to come together and discuss the next best possible ways in order to facilitate the learning process of their children with learning disabilities.
