Learning
disorders are a group of conditions that can affect a child’s ability to learn and process information. At New Horizons Center for Healing, our board-certified child and adolescent psychiatrist specializes in identifying and providing evidence-based treatment for, learning disorders in children.
Learning disorders can include conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and many more. Children with learning disorders may experience difficulty in school, at home and even in their relationships with others. As the school year begins, it is helpful to keep in mind if you, or your child’s teacher, begin to notice some characteristics or behaviors of concern.
At New Horizons Center for Healing, our board-certified psychiatrist has the goal of helping differentiate between age-appropriate behaviors, and behaviors characteristic of a disorder that might benefit from treatment. Oftentimes, if treatment is recommended, it would include a combination of therapy and medicine to improve academic performance and overall well-being.
Our board-certified child psychiatrist realizes that learning disorders are complex issues and require a holistic approach to treatment, considering the child’s individual environment, needs, strengths and challenges. This typically includes working closely with the child or adolescent’s family to provide comprehensive and compassionate care.
If you are concerned about your child or adolescent and their ability to process and learn new information, don’t hesitate to contact New Horizons Center for Healing. Our experienced and compassionate team can help your child improve their academic performance and overall well-being.
