Every day dyslexic and dysgraphic children learn to be independent readers and writers.  Why it is that while some children overcome learning difficulties and yet many more do not??  The answer to that question is complex, and begins with the parents of the child who is having difficulty.

Think about it, you have just been told that your child is suffering from a “Learning Disability”.  This is the child that you have raised for years, you have changed their pampers, taught them to walk, worried about them when they were sick, been there at their first haircut and their first day of school.  This is your perfect child, and now someone is telling you they have “dyslexia or dysgraphia”.  How can this be?

The diagnosis of dyslexia or dysgraphia often comes as a shock to parents.  In fact, the child very often knows that something is wrong and is relieved to finally give it an identity.  The parent, on the other hand can have a very complicated reaction to this news.  It is critical to remember that the reaction of parents to a diagnosis of dyslexia or dysgraphia will directly affect the ultimate success of the child.
