“I knew my son was bright, he loved stories, asked endless questions, and remembered the tiniest details. But when it came to reading and writing, he struggled more than other kids his age. Letters would dance on the page, numbers didn’t make sense, and homework time often ended in tears. As a parent, I felt helpless — how could such an intelligent child find school so painful? That’s when I learned it wasn’t laziness or lack of effort… it was Specific Learning Disorder.”

FAQs

SLD is linked to differences in how the brain processes language, numbers, or symbols. It is not caused by poor teaching, low intelligence, or laziness. Genetics, prenatal factors, or early developmental challenges may contribute.

No. SLD, ADHD, and autism are different conditions, though they may sometimes co-occur. A child with SLD mainly struggles with academic skills (reading, writing, math), while ADHD affects attention and behavior, and autism affects communication and social interaction.

SLD does not go away on its own, but with early intervention, therapies, and ongoing support, children can learn strategies to overcome challenges and thrive academically and socially.

Teachers can provide extra time, break lessons into smaller steps, use visual aids, allow oral responses instead of written ones, and collaborate with special educators. Patience, encouragement, and flexibility are key.

Yes. Constant struggles with schoolwork can lead to frustration, anxiety, or low self-esteem. Emotional support, counseling, and celebrating small successes help children stay motivated and confident.
