Q. How are children with learning disabilities diagnosed ?
A child is suspected to have a learning disability, when there is inability to attain certain skills inspite of a normal intelligence. The actual diagnosis of learning disabilities is made using standardized tests that compare the child's level of ability to what is considered normal development for a person of that age and intelligence.

Each type of learning disability is diagnosed in slightly different ways.

To diagnose speech and language disorders, a speech therapist tests the child's pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar and compares them to the developmental abilities seen in most children of that age. A psychologist tests the child's intelligence. A pediatrician checks for any ear infection and an audiologist checks the hearing.

If the problem involves articulation, a doctor examines the child's vocal cords and throat.

In the case of academic skills disorder, academic development in reading, writing and maths in evaluated using standardized tests. In addition, vision and learning are tested to be sure that the student can see words clearly and hear adequately.
