The importance of early intervention for children with learning difficulties

The beginning of a new school year is an exciting time for many children. However, for children who face learning difficulties, this time of year can present a unique set of challenges that may overshadow that excitement.

Children with learning difficulties often face challenges in areas such as reading, writing, and maths, which can lead to feelings of frustration, low self-esteem, and increased risk of emotional and behavioral issues. However, when these challenges are addressed promptly children are more likely to develop the skills and confidence needed to succeed academically and socially.

So when is the right time to look for help? You can screen early, and you can intervene just as early. The earlier learning difficulties are identified and an effective intervention programme is implemented, the better the chance of improving long term outcomes. Early intervention helps to reduce the ‘learning gap’ before the problems become more profound and entrenched.

The wait-and-see approach for children with learning difficulties can hinder their development, as it allows critical early interventions to be postponed, potentially impeding their progress and long-term success.

Ardú Learning's goal is to empower children with learning difficulties to achieve their full potential by providing exceptional evidence based interventions. The company provides one-to-one and small group support for children between the ages of four and 16 years as well as self-esteem workshops and parent consultations.
