What to do when your child has a learning problem

SAN FRANCISCO - What to do if your child has a learning disability or dyslexia? Three major medical associations recommend prompt educational assistance after early medical, education and/or psychological evaluation and diagnosis. Visual problems do not cause learning disabilities and dyslexia, according to the American Academy of Opthalmology, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Association for pediatric Opthalmology and Strabismus. Although poor vision, jerky eye movements, misaligned or crossed eyes and hand-eye coordination problems have been blamed for letter reversals or reading disabilities, there is no scientific evidence to support this belief, a statement by the three groups says. Research has revealed that children with learning disabilities or dyslexia have no more eye problems than the rest of the population. Visual training, muscle exercises, perceptual training or hand-eye coordination exercises do not improve a child’s learning abilities, the medical groups emphasized. “Such training may result in a false sense of security which may delay or prevent proper remedial educational measures,” the statement says. “Improvement claimed for visual training and similar exercises typically results from those remedial educational techniques with which they are combined.” A thorough medical eye examination can rule out the presence or absence of any vision defect which may cause blurred sight. Once vision is corrected, no other examinations or therapy involving the eyes will diminish a learning disability, according to the physicians. Learning difficulties

characterize dyslexia, which affects the brain’s ability to translate correctly the written images the eye receives. This disorder is not caused by the eyes. Dyslexia can be inherited, but it also can be acquired at any age following damage to certain parts of the brain. If parents suspect that their child has a learning disability, they should first contact the youngster’s school teacher or principal. A child should then be examined by a team of physicians, psychologists and educators to determine if physical or mental problems are the cause of the condition. Once the diagnosis is made,; prompt educational remedial assistance is needed, the physicians emphasized. Parents are urged to give special attention to children with language defects, emotional problems or a family history of learning disability. These youngsters should be assessed as early as possible to identify those at risk for learning disabilities, the groups recommended. “A person’s inability to read with understanding is a major obstacle to school learning and may have far-reaching social and economic implications,” the statement said. The American Academy of Opthalmology has issued a brochure on learning disabilities which is available by sending a stamped, self-addressed business size envelope to the academy of Opthalmology, P.O. Box 7424, San Francisco, Calif. 94120-7424. Additional information is available from the American Academy of Pediatrics, P.O.
