Developmental Reading Disorder treatment in Coyoacán

Developmental reading disorder, also known as developmental dyslexia, is a specific difficulty in learning to read fluently and accurately that is not explained by a lack of intelligence or inadequate teaching. It appears from the earliest school years.

Signs often noticed:

• Slow, error-prone, or hesitant reading
• Difficulty connecting letters and sounds
• Confusion when ordering or recognizing words

When to seek care? When progress in reading is noticeably lower than that of other children the same age or learning causes frustration, an evaluation is advisable.

Which specialist treats it? The educational psychologist and the speech-language pathologist assess learning and language, the psychologist supports the emotional side, and the pediatrician coordinates follow-up. An early evaluation by a professional helps provide better support for the child.
