Understanding learning disorders: dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia

Understanding learning disorders: dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia

Reading, writing or maths taking far more effort than it should? Whether it’s your child, your teenager or yourself, persistent difficulties that continue despite good teaching aren’t a sign of laziness or low motivation. They deserve a closer look.

Our free guide explains the three areas recognised within specific learning disorder (reading, written expression and mathematics) in clear, practical language, and what assessment and support can involve at every stage of life.

Inside the guide, you’ll learn:

  • The difference between general “learning difficulties” and a specific learning disorder diagnosis

  • What dyslexia, dysgraphia and dyscalculia actually look like, and some common misconceptions (dyslexia isn’t just reversing letters)

  • How learning needs can overlap with ADHD, autism, language or motor difficulties

  • What a useful assessment should explain, and what to ask before booking one

  • Practical support and adjustments for school, study and work

  • Why difficulties sometimes only become visible in high school or adulthood

  • What research can and can’t promise about intervention programs

  • What to gather before your first appointment
