Article 2
The article, Recognizing Signs of Potential Learning Disabilities in Preschool, talks about how preschool teachers sometimes hesitate to say if or if not, a child has a learning disability and often think the child needs time to improve their skills. But what teachers don’t realize is that it could be early signs of learning disabilities that include delays in developmental milestones. Not all children have difficulty with the same skills, but teachers need to pay attention to clusters of signs like difficulty in learning numbers, days, colors, the alphabet, and/or shapes. Paying attention to language-based learning disabilities like:
Consistent difficulty naming familiar and everyday objects.
Using vague words like “thing”.
Struggling to come up with the right word(s).
Trouble following or remembering multistep directions.
Difficulty reciting things in the right order (ex: the alphabet)
Mixing up the sounds in multisyllabic words (ex: mazagine instead of magazine).
Some children may not have trouble with language-based tasks, but they might struggle with math-based skills. Here are noticeable signs in math:
Trouble counting out loud (skipping over numbers or reciting them out of order).
Trouble recognizing, creating, or replicating patterns.
Trouble connecting number symbols to number words such as knowing that the number 10 goes with the word “ten”.
Difficulty generalizing a number to more than one group of objects such as understanding eight children to eight pencils.
Difficulty understanding one-to-one correspondence.

with a Disability,
talks about how each child is unique and learns in their own way if the right tools are provided for learning. Look beyond, avoid labeling a child with disabilities, and get to know them as a person. Observing, communicating, interacting, and playing with a child can provide important opportunities for building trusting relationships, and getting to know their strengths, weaknesses, and interests. Working closely with speech, physical, and occupational therapists who work directly with the child can help brainstorm adaptations and modifications with you. Making simple changes in classroom space, routine, and activities is good. This proactive approach supports the child’s strengths and can be modified to address the child’s needs.
The article, Helping Children with Learning Disabilities, talks about how when helping a child with learning disabilities, you are not alone. Having a team of people, whether it is two or ten, is important for several reasons. As a team:
1.
We all see things differently and have different experiences. You can develop better plans to help address individual situations and have more resources.
