Step 3: Find out what skills are weak:

Does your child have the skills needed to learn?

Intelligence (mental skills/cognition) tests measure the underlying learning skills the child has. If your child has been tested in the past or labeled as LD or dyslexic, please click here for a short but important discussion of these test results.

The “IQ” score is just an average of the separate mental skills being evaluated. It tells us nothing about the individual strengths and weaknesses of the underlying skills that would be important for reading, math calculations, comprehension, or geometry etc.

But, by analyzing the individual test scores and comparing them with the child’s achievement levels in different subject areas, we can determine a relationship between the underlying mental skills required and the achievement area affected.

For example, poor sound blending, segmenting, and analysis will result in difficulty in reading and spelling. When these underlying skills are developed, reading and spelling will improve.

After testing has confirmed or pinpointed the underlying cause of a learning problem, the next step is to institute a program to correct the deficient learning skill.
