How can children with learning disabilities be helped?
All research indicates that children with learning disabilities require direct remediation in their areas of difficulty. They do not outgrow their learning difficulties, and they do not acquire appropriate skills by osmosis. This means, for example, that a child who has difficulty reading text will always have difficulty reading text unless s/he receives appropriate and effective remediation that retrains the brain to approach the language task of decoding in a more efficient way.
