Children With Learning Disabilities

Children build their lives and their future using all materials they come across on their life path. They use whatever skills we teach them, as well as the habits we attempt to shield them from. They also use whatever they may get from their peers and some of what their teachers tried to install in them. However, the main building blocks are the children’s natural predispositions and abilities they were born with and later had a chance to develop and expand. A child who was born with excellent hand-eye coordination and a deep intuitive understanding of visual-spatial relationships will most likely develop a nuanced and enjoyable connection to the world of visual art. The same is true for musically, mathematically, or otherwise gifted children – they were given something in excess of what their average peers were given (even though no one has even seen an average child, we can pretend she exists). These children have more building blocks, which they may or may not utilize in shaping their future.

About TEMA Therapy

TEMA Therapy offers Diagnostics & Testing services for anyone wishing to learn more about their symptoms, find their possible causes, and get guidance on their next steps.

How To Validate A Child

Детям с ограниченными возможностями обучения или хроническими физическими заболеваниями досталось меньше этих строительных блоков, хотя в каких-то других областях они могут быть очень одаренными. Рассказывая этим детям, что их трудностей не существует, или что "все рождаются одинаковыми", создает ситуацию, когда их собственный опыт отрицается и девальвируется, что усугубляет их проблемы.

Our Therapeutic Approach

My goal when working with children with any kind of chronic problem is to help them learn who they are, as well as who they are not, which presupposes developing their strong sides while accepting their limitations. The “accepting their limitation” cliche has been used so many times that we don’t really think about the meaning of it anymore and what it entails. The essential part of acceptance is love and respect, combined with knowledge of the person. The very same is true for self-acceptance.

Focus On The Strength

Self-acceptance is nurtured when a child is learning what she can and cannot do, as well as how she tends to think, how she makes her decisions, what she desires in life, and what she is fearful of. When the child learns all of the above in an atmosphere of respect and kindness, she can incorporate this attitude toward herself into her personality structure, which makes her more resilient, active, and ultimately more successful in life.

First, Explore

In order to understand the child’s learning profile, we do detailed psychoeducational or neuropsychological evaluations. In the course of such an evaluation, we will learn about the child’s intellectual abilities, how those abilities are reflected in their reading, writing, and math achievements, and which part of neuropsychological functioning are likely to present obstacles to the child’s learning abilities.

Then, Treat

Upon completing such an evaluation, we have a very detailed picture of what is going on and what needs to be done for the child to achieve their maximum potential. We encourage the parents to share the information with the school. We also provide help in finding an appropriate educational environment for the child. We can help the school to develop an IEP (Individualized Educational Plan) or ISP (Individual Service Plan) for private schools, if needed.

It Takes A Village

A child with learning disabilities needs a team approach to be healthy, happy, and completely fulfilled. We create and manage such teams of therapists, educators, tutors, and coaches, so that nothing falls through the cracks, and the parents have a healthy sense of control over multiple facets of the child’s life.

Часто Задаваемые Вопросы

What Are the Signs of Learning Disabilities?

Indicators include slow reading, difficulty with math concepts, trouble writing or organizing thoughts, memory issues, distractibility, and inconsistent school performance. Assessments help confirm if these behaviors are due to specific learning disabilities or other underlying factors.

How Long Does the Learning Disabilities Assessment Take?

The full evaluation typically spans 4 to 6 hours over two sessions. This includes testing cognitive processing, academic skills, memory, attention, and follow-up reporting to ensure comprehensive insights.

Will My Child Qualify for an IEP Based on This?

Yes, many of our assessments support special education eligibility decisions. Results are formatted to meet school documentation standards and assist in IEP or 504 Plan applications.

How Are Learning Disabilities Different From ADHD?

Learning disabilities specifically impact academic skills like reading, writing, and math, while ADHD affects attention, hyperactivity, and impulse control. We use differential diagnosis methods to identify one or both conditions and guide appropriate supports.

What Happens After the Assessment?

You’ll receive a detailed written report outlining diagnosis, strengths, academic challenges, and recommended strategies, accommodations, and interventions. We also offer a feedback session to help you advocate for your child’s needs in school and at home.

Who Administers the Evaluation?

Assessments are conducted and interpreted by licensed clinical or school psychologists trained in learning disability diagnosis. They follow best practices set by professional organizations to ensure accurate, trustworthy results.

TEMA therapy is here to help you in a world that is uncertain and sometimes lonely. As a multicultural and multilingual center, we believe that tapping into your culture, language, and family roots can help you on your journey.
