CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Researchers are beginning to learn the role of genetics in learning disabilities. But there’s no blood test or brain scan that can tell you if a person has one.

Detailed explanation-2: -Unlike traditional psychiatry, which rarely looks at the brain, Amen Clinics uses brain imaging technology to identify brain patterns associated with learning disorders.

Detailed explanation-3: -When a learning disability is suspected, the following areas should be assessed: listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning, mathematics, and social skills. However, the assessment must focus on the presenting problem(s) and possible correlate(s).

Detailed explanation-4: -Common achievement tests used to diagnose a learning disability include the Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Achievement (WJ), the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT), the Wide Range Achievement Test (WRAT), and the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement (KTEA). These tests focus on reading, writing, and math.
