It also means that every classroom teacher has the opportunity to positively change the life of a student with dyslexia by taking the time to understand what it is and provide accommodations for accessing information that the student is capable of learning through alternate formats.

Mental Health Issues at School

Learning disorders aren’t the only thing that can get in the way of learning. When a child is struggling in school, an undiagnosed or untreated mental health disorder may be the reason. Teachers may see symptoms of distress in the classroom, but it can be challenging to figure out what’s causing them because many diagnoses share the same symptoms. Kids who have difficulty paying attention, for example, can be impacted by ADHD, trauma, anxiety or OCD.

Features like these are an important part of our coverage, and you can expect many more of them in the new year.
