Reading Difficulties

At times, reading difficulties may be more than simply academic. When children have difficulty processing communication, and visually tracking and scanning words, reading can be a challenge. A thorough reading and communication assessment can determine whether there are issues that can be addressed by therapy.

How Pediatric Therapy Helps

A speech language pathologist can help determine the quality of comprehension and information processing, and whether or not there are visual tracking deficits. Therapists will coordinate with family and teachers to make adaptations and corrections to improve reading skills and comprehension.
