Learning disorders are not diseases, but children with them need your help.
Dr Sreekumar, a pediatrician at KIMS Hospital Oman, says that while there are no cures for learning disorders, proper support is the key. Parents should watch for delays in their child’s learning of shapes, numbers, colors, language, pronunciation, and more, and contact a professional if they suspect there is a delay so that proper treatment can begin as early as possible. Proper treatment, which includes special care by educators in school, can help children manage their learning disorders, and children with learning disorders should always be encouraged.
