Did you know that . . .
Has your child been diagnosed with a learning disability? Here are some tips
for dealing with the disability while providing supportive parenting:
Keep things in perspective. Everyone faces obstacles . . . you as a parent can teach your child how to deal with obstacles without becoming discouraged or overwhelmed. Don’t let your child’s diagnosis, tests, paperwork, or bureaucracy distract you from what’s really important—giving your child plenty of emotional and moral support.
Become your own expert. Do your own research and keep abreast of new develop-ments in learning disability programs, therapies, and educational techniques. You may be tempted to look to others for solutions, especially at first. But you’re the foremost expert on your child, so take charge when it comes to find-ing the tools he or she needs in order to learn.
Be an advocate for your child. You may have to speak up time and time again to get special help for your child. Embrace your role as a proactive parent and work on your communication skills. It may be frustrating at times, but by remaining calm and reasonable, yet assertive, you can make a huge difference for your child. Remember that your influence outweighs all others. Your child will follow your lead. If you approach learn-ing challenges with optimism, hard work, and a sense of humor, your child is likely to embrace your perspective—or at least see the challenges as a speed bump, rather than a roadblock. Focus your energy on learning what works for your child and implementing it the best you can.
