Each topic offers clear definitions, the neuroscience behind it and practical exercises to try at home.
Dyslexia is a specific reading learning difference that affects 5 to 10% of children. It is not a lack of intelligence or willpower — it is a neurological difference in how the brain processes the sounds of language.
Discover →Dysorthography is a specific spelling learning difference, often linked to dyslexia. The dysorthographic child makes persistent errors despite suitable, repeated teaching.
Discover →Dyscalculia affects 3 to 7% of children. It is not “being bad at maths” — it is a neurological difficulty understanding quantities, numeration and calculation.
Discover →Dyspraxia, or Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), affects 5 to 6% of children. The child knows what they want to do, but their brain struggles to programme the motor sequence.
Discover →Developmental language disorder (DLD, formerly “dysphasia”) is a structural, lasting difference in spoken language. The child has difficulty expressing themselves and/or understanding spoken language despite normal intelligence.
Discover →Dysgraphia makes writing slow, painful or illegible. The child has to focus all their attention on the act of writing, leaving little room for what they want to say.
Discover →Working memory and attention are the foundation of all learning. In children with learning differences these functions are often overloaded because they are used to compensate for the specific difficulty.
Discover →A child with learning differences experiences on average 5 times more failure situations per day than a typical child. Protecting and building their self-confidence is as important as the therapy itself.
Discover →Almost every parent of a child with learning differences goes through guilt: “I should have spotted it sooner”, “Maybe it’s my fault”. This feeling is universal, understandable — and unfounded. You are not the cause of your child’s learning difference. You are the solution.
