Do you wonder if there is a deeper underlying problem like dyslexia, ADHD, or sensory processing disorders, but you don’t know where to go for help?
Many parents take a wait-and-see approach while experts insist that early intervention is key to helping children with learning disabilities thrive.
Children who struggle with learning disabilities suffer from unnecessary stress and frustration resulting in tantrums, homework battles, and failing grades. These can often be greatly reduced if not eliminated with the right therapy. Sometimes that therapy is as simple as proper nutrition.
Sophia Homeschool brings together a team of experts to help you learn to recognize the red flags associated with learning disabilities and how to treat them. Learn where to go for help and funding and get practical tips about what can be done at home to help your child thrive.
