TYPES OF SPECIFIC

LEARNING
DISABILITY
DYSLEXIA
WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A DYSLEXIC ?
Trouble reading even simple words they've seen many times. They might mix
up the letters in a word — for example, reading the word "now" as "won" or
"left" as "felt." Words may also blend together and spaces are lost.
DYSGRAPHIA
Dysgraphia is a specific learning disability that affects written expression.
Dysgraphia can appear as difficulties with spelling, poor handwriting and
trouble putting thoughts on paper.
DYSCALCULIA
Dyscalculia is a learning disability in math. Kids with dyscalculia can have trouble with quantities
and concepts like bigger and smaller. They may also struggle with math symbols and more
complex math. Having dyscalculia doesn’t mean kids aren’t smart. But they may have a hard
time applying what they know to solve math problems.
