Some are early readers; others express themselves better through art or storytelling. But when a child consistently struggles to read, write, spell, or understand certain concepts, even with adequate support, it could be a sign of a Specific Learning Disability (SLD).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">SLDs are not a sign of low intelligence or poor parenting. They are lifelong, brain-based differences in how a person receives, processes, and expresses information. Early recognition and the right support can make a world of difference to how a child feels about learning and about themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This video, with inputs from <\/span><b>Remedial Education Specialist Ms. Farida Raj<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, outlines early signs families and educators might notice, the role of professionals, and when to seek support.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What is a Specific Learning Disability (SLD)?<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An SLD refers to concerns in one or more areas of learning, such as reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), or mathematics (dyscalculia), even though the child may have average or above-average intelligence. Children with SLDs may also face difficulties in motor skills, memory, or attention, which can affect how they engage with schoolwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Early signs in pre-primary to primary peers<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before formal academics begin, SLDs may show up as motor coordination or memory concerns. While many young children display these behaviors occasionally, repeated patterns may signal a need for closer observation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some signs to watch for include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wearing shoes on the wrong foot, even after repeated corrections<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty buttoning a shirt or zipping up a jacket<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Struggling to hold or use a pencil, fork, or crayon<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Bumping into furniture, spilling things often, seeming \u201cclumsy\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Forgetting two-step instructions like \u201cpick up your toy and put it on the shelf\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoiding drawing, scribbling, or name-writing activities<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trouble recalling letters, numbers, days of the week, or rhymes, even with repetition<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty remembering sequences\u00a0 like the order of dressing, brushing teeth, or steps in a story<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preference for verbal storytelling or imaginary play, but less interest in reading or writing tasks<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These signs do not mean the child is lazy or inattentive. They simply show that their brain may process information differently and may need different methods of learning and expression.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Signs in primary to high school years<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As academic demands increase, SLDs may become more noticeable. Children may begin to feel frustrated, anxious, or withdrawn, especially if their efforts don\u2019t seem to match the results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Signs to look out for:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Frequently interchanging similar-looking letters (like b\/d, p\/q, n\/u)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Starting sentences with lowercase letters; inconsistent use of punctuation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Writing that switches randomly between uppercase and lowercase letters<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Trouble copying from the board or writing down verbal instructions<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Slower reading speed, skipping words or lines while reading aloud<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Understanding content well when explained verbally, but struggling to write it down<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Better verbal expression, using gestures, facial expressions, or drawings to explain ideas<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Difficulty managing time, organising school work, or remembering what to bring<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These students often think deeply and feel deeply. They may excel in oral discussions, creativity, or problem-solving, yet struggle with written expression or rote tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2>What to do if you notice these signs<\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Every child is unique, and not all signs indicate a learning disability. But if several of these signs show up regularly, especially across settings (home, school, tuition), it may be helpful to speak to a professional.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please do not attempt to self-diagnose.
