It’s also genetically derived, which means that parents can pass it on to their children. The disability affects areas of the brain that is responsible for processing language.

It’s important that parent address the problems as early as possible. Early diagnosis can help with the success of treatment methods. You can help your child by reading stories to them out loud and exposing them to recorded books and toys with letters on them.

Encourage story time throughout the day to naturally improve your child’s reading skills and interest in words. When your child is diagnosed before they enroll in school, it’s a good idea to work hand-in-hand with the teacher and check up on their progress.

Lastly, make sure that you set an example. If you read a lot and listen to audiobooks, your child will naturally follow in your footsteps.

By being informed and incorporating different activities found through quality resources, you will be able to support your child and allow them to cope much better.
