  • Be active in developing cooperation with your child's school community.
  • Ensure that your child has self-esteem and motivation.
  • Keep your expectations high, but be realistic.
  • Do not do the things your child can do on their own.
  • Learning disabilities are identified using various tests and implementing clinical observations conducted by experts in the field. Children’s abilities are examined in parallel with their intelligence and skills.
  • Strengths and weaknesses are identified as a result of the observations and evaluations which are performed by clinicians. The child's family is informed on the evaluation results.
  • It is not easy for children to achieve regular curriculum learning. Children forced to learn in a regular curriculum cannot show the expected success, they can be accused of laziness, unwillingness and naughtiness. Over time, they can get away from school and their social environment by losing their self-confidence. So, do not give a lot of responsibilities to your children; instead, get expert help. School psychologists are among the first people who should be consulted in this regard.
  • Collaborate with the classroom teacher too.
