My son was diagnosed with apraxia and dysarthria when he was about 2. I was extremely proactive in his treatment and we were fortunate to live in an area with lots of resources.

My son is now 22 and will be graduating from college shortly. I am posting because it is so difficult when you are in the moment with your "baby" to really remember that a learning disability is not a knock on your child's intelligence. Their circuitry works differently.

We did speech therapy, phonetic based reading programs, vision therapy to strengthen the muscles in his eyes because his tracking was poor. Then at about 4-5th grade he needed help writing papers. I had been told that he would have difficulty getting the information from his brain on to paper and into a clear format.

The last special tutoring he did was 6th grade.
His SAT scores were crazy high. His memory is outstanding.

A learning disability can just mean your child learns differently.
Find the right people to help you and don't despair.
