Question

What are the treatment methods for children with learning difficulties syndrome? The child shows inattention, often writing the letter ‘b’ as ’d’, and is short in stature and underweight. What were the results and effects of past treatments? I want to know how to carry out effective treatment.

Answer

Learning disorders are developmental skill disorders, and these children are not dumb or intellectually disabled (IQ is usually above 70). Instead, their normal learning methods are affected in the early stages of development, leading to abnormal performance in single skills such as reading, calculation, or drawing, while other skills are normal. This often results in a phenomenon where a child excels in one subject while performing poorly in another, a so-called “subject imbalance.” Here are some suggestions:

  1. Pay attention to the child’s education at home and create a good learning environment.
  2. Parents should actively guide and cultivate the child’s diverse interests.
  3. If the situation is severe, seek medical attention as soon as possible.
