WHAT IS NEEDED
EVALUATION/DIAGNOSIS:
The cause of learning challenges are sometimes difficult to identify the CAUSE of their challenge but easy to fix. Additionally, sometimes a diagnosis by an audiologist is necessary for the schools to be willing to provide accommodations needed until the problem is fixed.
PSYCHOLOGICAL SUPPORT:
Students who have experienced years of failure sometimes need additional support by a qualified pscychologist or psychiatrist to rebuild their self-esteem and look to their future as a successful student.
PUBLIC AWARENESS:
​
Diagnosable learning disabilities account for 5-9% of the student population; 21-25% of the student population have learning difficulties and 30% of the student population has some level of difficulty with learning.
Nearly 15 million students are not getting the help they need and schools and tutoring are not solving the problem.
