FAQS

General Questions

1. WHAT ARE LEARNING DIFFICULTIES ?

Learning difficulties describe specific challenges in acquiring and using certain skills, such as reading, writing, listening, speaking, reasoning, or math. Common conditions include:
    •          ADHD: Impulsivity, hyperactivity, and trouble focusing.
    •          Autism/ASD: Difficulties with social interaction, communication, and adapting to change.
    •          Dyslexia: Struggles with reading, writing, and sequencing tasks, often extending to other areas like math or additional languages.
These challenges result from differences in how the brain processes information and do not necessarily reflect a low IQ. Many children with learning difficulties have average or above-average intelligence but require tailored support to thrive.

2. HOW DO I KNOW THAT MY CHILD HAS LEARNING DIFFICULTIES ?

Parents who suspect learning difficulties should seek a professional diagnosis. However, common signs include:
    •          Poor academic results.
    •          Difficulty focusing on schoolwork.
    •          Low self-esteem.
    •          Frequent changes in tutors.
