179 Lois Letchford: Dyslexia? Put Away What Is Not Working And Make Learning Fun
Manage episode 439638003 series 3430337
Hey Friends~
Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is a communication disorder that interferes with learning, understanding, and using language. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) in the USA says DLD “is one of the most common developmental disorders, affecting approximately 1 in 14 children in kindergarten.” To add to the confusion, over the years, “DLD has also been called specific language impairment, language delay, or developmental dysphasia.” Source: https://www.nidcd.nih.gov/sites/default/files/Documents/health/voice/developmental-language-disorder.pdf
Is your child struggling in school? Not listening well? & Unable to communicate what they mean?
Today’s guest, Lois Letchford, shares her story that led to connecting the dots for her son’s understanding and learning in the presence of Dyslexia, Developmental Learning Delay, and other developmental struggles. She put away what was not working and used what her son was interested in. She says, “Curiosity propagates in the brain in untold ways.” She gives practical descriptions that you can use, whether you are a teacher or a parent, to help your children better.
This episode is a must listen for Parents, Educators, Child-care workers, Speech Pathologists, and all those living or working with children! Please share this episode with those who are!
Always cheering you on!
