How to help your child track
by Lison Daoust, remedial
When a student has learning problems or adaptation to school, he also saw trouble home. The teacher is usually the first to report a problem, but the parent may be the one who initiates the process of testing that could make all the difference.
Whatever the type of difficulty, the student is detected early is more likely to receive services to its measure and avoid the repeated failures that might lead more or less directly to the dropout . The kid who wins a day at school does not suddenly: it has perhaps never "hooked" to the school system. The screening will allow us to portray the whole child, to know your strengths, understand their difficulties and propose solutions.
What to Observe
signs of stress:
• stomach before going to school;
• Difficulty falling asleep •
nightmares •
loss appetite;
• aggressive, impulsive or inhibited;
• frequent seizures;
• Speech sad, anxious,
• communication difficulties.
In fact, it is important to note here are the behaviors that your child does not usually manifest. It is certain that the entrance to the school can cause small imbalances, but when these ailments are becoming more important, we must ask questions.
Developmental problems
• language disorders, memory, hearing, vision,
• poor concentration, attention, fine motor or global.
These problems are more difficult to detect, especially if your child is older and you have no reference point. We do not ask you to make a diagnosis and it is not about to panic! The important thing is to take the time to observe your child to look, to contact him to know him better.
The difficulties and learning disabilities: what is it exactly?
You should know that there is a difference between "difficulty" of learning and "disorder" of learning.
Learning difficulties
Learning difficulties may be transient and not related to the intelligence of the child. They are manifested by a delay, an imbalance in one-time learning:
• problems with concentration (distracted, moody);
• difficulties in reading, writing, mathematics;
• behavior problems (aggression, sadness)
Learning difficulties are often related to various factors: moving, divorce, death or illness of a parent difficult relationships with family or with the teacher, immaturity (derogation school), absenteeism, teaching method, etc..
If detected early enough students who have learning difficulties, we can intervene quickly without any serious consequences. But unless we act quickly, failures will accumulate and the young will lose their motivation and confidence in him then he will develop behavioral problems and coping with significant delays that exclude the regular school program.
Learning disabilities
Learning disabilities are not related to the intelligence of the child, but are usually permanent. They are caused by a combination of persistent difficulties in one or more processes for the development and deficiency in information processing. These disorders are manifested at levels of: •
attention, memory, reasoning;
• coordination, communication, ability to read and write;
• conceptualization, social skills and emotional maturity.
Examples of disorders diagnosed in primary school children: hyperactivity, dyslexia, dysgraphia, the attention deficit disorder.
These students may not attend a regular school program and adapted to the condition to be identified early. It is therefore important to ask what services you are entitled to establish an individualized plan for your child.
What to do if you have any doubts
1. Encourage your child
If your child is having difficulty, it really needs to be accompanied and supported. If it is in situations of failure, take the time to listen.
When Xavier was in Grade 1, he preferred to play hockey and run that to stop and read. He told us that her body was better than his intelligence and he even managed to convince us that he would always read a pocket. We encouraged him to play hockey more often and became good at something, and when her teacher asked her to do research on the history of hockey, he happily made what it took to read and write!
2. You tell someone
Talk to your spouse or a person who knows your child and your family, you will check your observations and clarify the different circumstances which manifest behavior disturbing.
3. A visit to the doctor
Getting the physical checkup for your child is desirable. Ask any questions related to physical development: hearing, vision, reflexes and motor skills. Note the questions that bother you to not forget them when visiting the doctor.
4. A meeting with the teacher
Request a meeting with the teacher as soon as possible. If this is difficult in the short term, a telephone interview may reassure you. But do not be in doubt. The teacher needs your help if your child is experiencing difficulties. It may already offer ways to help at home and ask for more resources to quickly make a full assessment.
5. A meeting with the director
If you think your child needs special help, the director should have more availability to talk about the various services offered at the school. It is also his duty to assist you in your approach. Let him know your concerns and assure him of your partnership.
6. A meeting with the school committee
The school committee is comprised of parents of school. The school committee has decision-making power. If you do not get answers to your questions, these parents are able to offer solutions. In my practice, I helped parents who had problems obtaining the cooperation of teachers and even school collaboration. This scenario is unfortunately more common than one might imagine, the system is filled with pitfalls, it is the education of your child and his future.
