Hello, We have had a recent diagnosis of a Significant Learning Disability for our almost 10 year old boy, it is affecting all areas of life for example, self care, personal hygiene, learning, development, understanding, memory skills, processing skills, social skills, everyday functioning, mobility to name a few and other common symptoms one has with a Learning Disability, he has so many difficulties everyday that has been missed or haven't been fully understood by others/professionals.
He has all the right support in place at home and in specialist school.
The Doctor that diagnosed him with a Significant Learning Disability with Significant Dyspraxia and other delays ontop of having symptoms of a Neurological movement disorder didn't explain fully what a learning disability is and how it affects a child like mine so I don't have much understanding of what it is and why my child has soo many difficulties.
I wanted to get more understanding and knowledge about Learning Disability in general and what and how it effects other children like mine?
I was also wondering what we could do to look more in depth into his learning disability to see if there are other things that have been missed as other diagnosis's?
Thanks
Sam.
