Verticy Learning Academy Provides a Curriculum Solution for Students with Language-Based Learning Differences
Nearly 20% of all people in the United States have a Language-Based Learning Difference. Is your child one of them?
What is a Language-Based Learning Difference?
A language-based learning difference (LLD) is caused by a difference in brain structure that is present at birth and is often hereditary. It affects the way the brain processes information and can impact how someone learns to read, write, hear, speak, and calculate. There are many kinds of learning differences, including dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia, and they can affect people differently. Learning differences do not reflect IQ (intelligence quotient) or how smart a person is. Instead, a person with a learning difference has trouble performing specific types of skills or completing a task.
What are the Signs of a Language-Based Learning Difference?
There are several observable behaviors which parents are capable of identifying in their children such as the following:
- Inability to quickly identify the names of letters, numbers, shapes and colors when exposed to them in random sequences
- Requests for clarification immediately after receiving instructions
- Continued difficulty with reading and spelling
- Poor performance on tested material that was well-known right after studying
