Just as you take your child for an annual check up at the pediatrician, your child's accommodation plan needs an annual check up as well! Accommodations are granted to students with learning disabilities to help them access the general education curriculum. Accommodations don't change what is learned but how it is learned; they don't change what is tested but how it is tested.

Dyslexia, a term often associated with challenges in reading and language, is a condition that defines itself not just by its hurdles but by the remarkable strengths it brings to individuals. At Read Write Learning Center, where we specialize in one-on-one academic language therapy for children with learning disabilities like dyslexia, the remarkable strengths of these individuals shine through. Today, we turn the spotlight on the visual and spatial capabilities that distinguish them.

Did you know that the precursors of dyslexia can be reliably identified in children as young as age 3? Preschoolers cannot read, but they are actively learning language. Difficulties mastering language at a young age predict later difficulties mastering reading.
