“I think my son with autism (high functioning) may have a learning disability. How can I know for sure? And what should I do about it?” Many kids with Asperger’s and High-Functioning Autism have difficulty with writing, reading comprehension, or other learning-related tasks, but this doesn’t necessarily mean they have a learning disability. A youngster with a learning disability often has several related signs, which persist over time. The signs of a disability vary from child to child. Each learning disability has its own signs. Also, not every child with a particular disability will have ALL of the signs. Common indicators include: Difficulty finding the right way to say something Difficulty listening well Difficulty remembering Difficulty staying on task (i.e., easily distracted) Difficulty with concepts related to time Difficulty with reading and/or writing Immature way of speaking Impulsive behavior Inappropriate responses in school or social situations Inconsistent school performance Poor coordination Problems paying attention Problems staying organized Problems understanding words or concepts Problems with math skills Trouble following directions Here are some common learning disabilities and the signs associated with them: Dyspraxia— A child with dyspraxia has problems with motor tasks (e.g., hand-eye coordination) that can interfere with learning. Other symptoms of dyspraxia include: Trouble with tasks that require hand-eye coordination (e.g., coloring within the lines, assembling puzzles, cutting precisely, etc.) Sensitivity to touch (e.g., irritation over certain clothing textures) Sensitivity to loud and/or repetitive noises (e.g., ticking of a clock) Problems organizing oneself and one's things Poor balance Breaking things ==> Parenting Children and Teens with High-Functioning Autism Dysgraphia— Dysgraphia is characterized by problems with writing, which cause a youngster to be tense and awkward when holding a pen or pencil to the extent of contorting his body. The youngster with very poor handwriting that he does not outgrow may have dysgraphia. Other signs of Dysgraphia include: Trouble writing down thoughts in a logical sequence Trouble writing down ideas Saying words out loud while writing Problems with grammar Leaving words unfinished or omitting them when writing sentences A strong dislike of writing A quick loss of interest while writing Dyscalculia— Signs of this disorder include problems understanding basic math concepts (e.g., fractions, number lines, positive and negative numbers, etc.). Other symptoms include: Trouble with understanding the time sequence of events Trouble recognizing logical information sequences (e.g., steps in math problems) Trouble making change in cash transactions Messiness in putting math problems on paper Difficulty with verbally describing math processes Difficulty with math-related word problems Dyslexia— Children with dyslexia usually have trouble making the connections between letters and sounds. They also have difficulty with spelling and recognizing words. Other signs include: Trouble learning foreign languages Trouble distinguishing left from right Slowness in learning songs and rhymes Slow reading Poor spelling Poor self-expression (e.g., saying "thing" or "stuff" for words not recalled) Giving up on longer reading tasks Failure to fully understand what others are saying Difficulty understanding questions and following directions Difficulty recalling numbers in sequence (e.g., telephone numbers and addresses) Difficulty organizing written and spoken language Difficulty learning new vocabulary (either through hearing or reading) Delayed ability to speak 30 - 50 % of children with ADHD have a learning disability. The reverse is true, too. 30 – 50 % with a learning disability have ADHD. If a youngster has been diagnosed with ADHD and continues to have problems academically, he or she may a learning disability. ==> Parenting Children and Teens with High-Functioning Autism Below is a self-test that will give parents clues about whether or not their youngster has a learning disability. Preschool: My youngster has problems with remembering routines, information, and multiple instructions. My youngster has poor physical coordination and uneven motor development (e.g., delays in learning to run, color, use scissors, etc.). My youngster has delays in socialization (e.g., playing with - and responding to - his peer group). My youngster has communication problems (e.g., slow language development, difficulty with speech). He finds it hard to understand what is being said or communicating his thoughts to others. Kindergarten to 4th Grade: My youngster loses work she has done or forgets to turn it into the educator. My youngster is challenged when it comes to doing math. My youngster has trouble with reading comprehension. She has problems forming letters and numbers. She has problems with basic spelling and grammar. My youngster has trouble understanding oral instructions. He has difficulty expressing himself verbally. My youngster has trouble organizing information, materials (e.g., notebook, binder, papers), and concepts. My youngster has trouble blending sounds and letters to sound out words. She has trouble remembering familiar words by sight. My youngster has problems with rapid letter recognition and with learning phonemes (i.e., individual units of sound). He has difficulty remembering facts. 5th and 6th Grades: My youngster finds it hard to stay organized in school. He loses personal belongings, papers, assignments, or forgets to turn them in. My youngster has difficulty learning new math concepts and successfully applying them. She has difficulty organizing her thoughts for written work. My youngster is challenged when it comes to reading material independently. He has trouble retaining what he read. Middle School: My youngster has difficulty with time management, organization, and developing learning strategies. My youngster has trouble retaining what was read (i.e., reading fluency). He has difficulty organizing and writing answers on papers and tests (i.e., writing fluency). He has problems mastering more advanced math concepts. High School: My youngster has increased difficulty with time planning and organization as more independent work is expected. My youngster has increased difficulty with writing papers, reading assignments, and understanding math concepts. If parents agree with a majority of the statements above, they should discuss their concerns with their child’s educator(s). Most public schools use a 3-tier model for evaluation: The educator observes the youngster. If she or he agrees with the parent’s concerns, a special-education teacher will observe the youngster in class. Modified teaching strategies will be tried. If the special-education teacher agrees, a formal evaluation will be done to determine if the child has a learning disability. If the youngster’s educator does not respond to parents’ concerns, they should speak with the principal. If the youngster is in a private school, parents are entitled to speak to the principal of the public school their youngster would have gone to and request help. ==> CLICK HERE for more information on the academic challenges of children on the autism spectrum...

I think we all agree that no two people have the same strengths and weaknesses. But because we cannot observe the inner workings of the brain, it’s easy to assume that what helps us learn, will help everyone. In fact, some teachers and parents may insist on certain approaches. So should parents and teachers step out of their own preferred ways of learning and accommodate the unique needs of others? How can this possibly be done? What are the 12 Ways of Learning? I have been working with children and adults as an educational therapist for over twenty years, and I can promise you that everyone has their own unique ways of processing information. The 12 ways of learning offers a dozen diverse methods that can be used to help learners encode information. When exposed to these distinct approaches, learners develop learning preferences that are also influenced by their cognitive strengths and weaknesses. The image below offers a quick summary: So instead of thinking about fixed or limited ways of learning, think about teaching students in ways, that honors all 12 ways of processing information. This approach looks at: Visual Learning: incorporates pictures, drawings and even personal visualizations. This helps students learn through imagery. Auditory Learning: involves learning through listening. This helps students to learn how to focus on and determine the salient information from what they are hearing. Tactile Learning: consists of touching or feeling objects or artifacts. It also involves the encoding of information when taking notes or drawing things out. Kinesthetic Learning: encompasses learning while moving one’s body. For many students, movement can help enhance engagement in learning and memory of information. Sequential Learning: entails teaching students in a step by step manner that sequences instruction by time, alphabetical order or a numerical series. This prepares students for outlines, timelines, completing long term assignments, and keeping materials organized. Simultaneous Learning: involves teaching children how to categorize materials. This prepares students for webbing information, conceptualizing main ideas, understanding flow charts and diagrams, as well as keeping materials organized. Verbal Learning: incorporates teaching children how to process ideas aloud. This helps students participate in class discussions and feel comfortable expressing ideas. Interactive: consists of teaching children how to work with others. This trains learners to collaborate and work in groups. Logical/Reflective Learning: encompasses teaching children how to reflect upon or think about what they are learning. This prepares students to work independently and process ideas internally. Indirect Experience Learning: entails teaching children how to watch and learn from a demonstration. This helps students attend to and glean information from vicarious learning experiences. Direct Experience Learning: involves teaching children how to use their own environment to learn. This informs students that continuing education is ever present in our everyday surroundings and that there are fabulous learning experiences available through museums, aquariums, historic sites and other locales. Rhythmic Melodic Learning: consists of teaching children how to use melodies and rhythm to learn. This provides students the tools to utilize beats, songs, or melodies when trying to memorize novel information. Are Some Unable to Learn all 12 Ways? As long as our senses or brains are not damaged, we are able to process in all ways. But remarkably, even those with "broken" sensory inputs or head injuries can learn to compensate. Other senses and parts of the brain become more acute and we are now learning, for example, that even a blind person can utilize their visual cortex and sound to create mental imagery or a "map" of their surroundings. Should Students Learn to Step Out of Their Comfortable Ways of Learning? Many learners like to follow the same, familiar learning path but we, as teachers and parents, can help forge new trails and perspectives by introducing and demonstrating novel approaches. Although learning a new way can be a time consuming and lengthen the "hike," it ultimately teaches our students that they have options, they can grow, and we can help them to explore portions of the brain that are under utilized. What Can Parents Do? To help each child attain his or her learning potential, let me suggest using the Student Processing Profile. This digital assessment offers reports, learning strategies, organizational strategies, materials/technology recommendations, and more. By utilizing the assessment, parents can uncover the unique learning profile of each family member. Then printable handouts can suggest the needed strategies for success.
