spastic society of karnataka @ malleshwaram

Hi

Thanks for ur info - & can u help something more u know about the test. My son is 10years old & he is unable to prounce the words or write it. I find him good in Maths. Pls let me know  whether this test will help him to do better.

Regards,

if a child has problems in writing, it can mean various things..it can be dysgraphia/ poor concept of alphabets/ poor eyesight/ poor concentration/ lack of interest in studies etc etc. dysgraphia means difficulties in writing..and its a kind of specific learning disability. so first u need to figure out whether yr son has dysgraphia or not..dont go for unnecessary tests. these tests DO NOT HELP if u dont go systematically. instead, they attack on the child's self esteem. so meet a specialist and understand the nature of the problem before going for doctors and tests.

Hi

Health wise - he is OK. Basically he is interested in Maths & he scores very well also. The problem I notice with him is unable to pronounce any kind of sound. pls suggest which test should be taken or should I meet any doctor.........

How can I solve as he is in 4th std - but finds even a three letter word very difficult in reading or writing
