Q. How are children with learning disabilities identified ?
Parents are usually the first to notice delays in their child reaching early milestones, but the pediatrician may observe more subtle signs of minor neurological damage. However, the classroom teacher may, in fact be the first to notice the child's persistent difficulties in reading, writing or arithmetic.

There are some warning signs, which may help to pick up children with learning disabilities earlier.
