 Learning Disabilities: Early Signs and How to Help



Every child learns in their own unique way. Some children, however, face challenges that go beyond typical learning differences. These may be signs of a learning disability—a neurological condition that affects how the brain receives, processes, or communicates information.

At Raising Child Development Centre, under the expert care of Dr. Pranita Nitnaware, we understand that early recognition and intervention can make a world of difference in helping children overcome these challenges.

 

What Are Learning Disabilities?

Learning disabilities are not a reflection of a child's intelligence. Instead, they affect the brain’s ability to process information in areas such as reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), and attention (ADHD).

These difficulties can impact academic performance, self-esteem, and everyday functioning. But with the right support, children with learning disabilities can learn and succeed just like their peers.

 

Early Signs to Watch For

Recognizing early signs is crucial. Here are some common red flags based on age:

Preschool Age (3–5 years):

 Delayed speech or vocabulary development

 Trouble learning letters, numbers, or shapes

 Difficulty following instructions

 Poor memory or attention span

 

 Primary School Age (6–9 years):

 Struggles with reading, spelling, or math

 Reverses letters or numbers (e.g., ‘b’ and ‘d’)

 Dislikes school or avoids homework

 Frustration with simple tasks

 

 Older Children (10+ years):

 Reads below grade level

 Trouble expressing thoughts in writing

 Disorganized schoolwork

 Low confidence in academic settings

 

How You Can Help Your Child

At Raising Child Development Centre, we offer a comprehensive and supportive approach to helping children with learning disabilities thrive.

Developmental Assessments – To identify the child’s unique strengths and challenges.

Occupational Therapy – To support fine motor skills, attention, and classroom participation.

Remedial Education – Tailored learning sessions to build academic skills in reading, writing, and math.

Parent Support & Counseling – Dr. Pranita Nitnaware and her team guide parents on how to support their child’s learning journey at home.

 

Why Early Intervention Matters

The sooner a learning disability is identified, the better the outcome. Early support helps prevent emotional and academic struggles later in life. Our centre focuses on empowering children to develop self-confidence, independence, and a love for learning.

  Is My Child Ready for School? – Key Developmental Skills to Know By Raising Child Development Centre | Dr. Pranita Nitnaware (B.O.Th) Introduction Starting school is a major milestone—for both children and their parents. But how do you know if your child is truly ready for this big step? At Raising Child Development Centre , we often meet parents wondering whether their child has the necessary skills to begin formal schooling confidently and successfully.

School readiness means a child is developmentally prepared to learn, interact, and cope in a structured school environment. This doesn’t mean your child must...

  How Occupational Therapy Can Help Your Child Succeed in School By Dr. Pranita Nitnaware, B.O.Th Director, Raising Child Development Centre As a parent of a special child, you already know that school can be a challenging place. The classroom environment—structured, demanding, fast-paced—may not always meet your child’s individual needs. When a child has autism, ADHD, cerebral palsy, developmental delays, or a learning disability, they often struggle with basic school tasks that other children do with ease. But here’s the good news: Occupational Therapy (OT) can help bridge that gap. It gives your child the tools they need to participate meaningfully in school—academically, socially, and emotionally. At Raising Child Development Centre , led by Dr. Pranita Nitnaware , we specialize in helping children with special needs develop the foundational skills needed for school success. With personalized OT programs, we’ve seen children grow from frustrated and dependent to conf...

Signs of Autism in Toddlers Parents Shouldn't Miss

Signs of Autism in Toddlers Parents Shouldn't Miss Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) often shows signs as early as 12 to 24 months. Recognizing these signs early helps parents access the support their child needs during the most critical years of development. Every child is different, but some behavioral and developmental patterns are common among toddlers with autism. Parents may notice that their child is not meeting communication, social, or behavioral milestones. While not all signs confirm autism, being aware of them allows timely intervention. Let’s explore what to look for and when to take action.   Why Early Detection Matters Early diagnosis of autism is crucial. The earlier the signs are recognized, the sooner intervention can begin. Between birth and age 3, a child's brain is rapidly developing. This period offers the highest potential for improvement with the right therapies. Research shows that early behavioral interventions can improve communic...
