Condition Overview
Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD)—including Dyslexia (reading), Dysgraphia (writing), and Dyscalculia (math)—are neurobiological differences in how a child’s brain processes written language or numbers despite normal intelligence.
Early Signs & Observations
- Difficulty recognizing letter-sound relationships or rhyming
- Frequent letter reversals, slow reading, or spelling struggles
- Messy or painful handwriting despite effort
- Trouble grasping basic number concepts or time
Age-Related Considerations
Early phonological struggles may appear in kindergarten, with clearer academic gaps emerging in primary school (Grades 1–4).
When to Seek Assessment
If a bright child consistently struggles with reading, spelling, or math despite regular schooling, seek a formal educational and developmental screening.
Assessment & Diagnostic Approach
Standardized psycho-educational screening of reading fluency, phonological processing, visual-motor skills, and attention.
Available Therapy & Intervention Options
Structured Special Education, multi-sensory literacy remediation, and Occupational Therapy for dysgraphia.
Role of Parents & Caregivers
Focus on your child’s strengths (art, storytelling, sports, reasoning), avoid shaming over marks, and collaborate with teachers on supportive accommodations.

Does having dyslexia mean a child has low intelligence?
Not at all. Children with dyslexia typically have average or above-average intelligence and thrive when taught using structured multi-sensory methods.
