Abstract
Learning disabilities are common among U.S. children, affecting about 1 in 10 children nationally. They manifest in many different ways – some children experience difficulties with reading called dyslexia, some with math called dyscalculia, some with writing called dysgraphia, and others with nonverbal learning disabilities. Many learning disabilities can be treated by providing early intervention in the area of concern, but quick action is required in order to avoid risking that students’ learning difficulties becoming intractable. In this podcast, Johnson discusses learning disabilities, the challenges in diagnosis, and effective intervention strategies.
