Learning problems can often be managed very successfully, even though they cannot be cured. The goal of therapy is to enable youngsters to live with their limitations as productively as possible. Treatment is usually waged on four fronts:
- Psycho-social-behavioral therapies: teaching children strategies for maximizing their strengths and compensating for their weaknesses.
- Other interventions: Specialized language instruction, taught by a teacher or therapist who has received special training, is used to teach dyslexic teenagers to read, write and spell. Comparable programs exist for children with dysgraphia and dyscalculia.
- Medication therapy: using medications to improve concentration problems and other conditions such as depression.
- Special education: a school environment tailored to the unique needs of each child with a learning disability. Until such time as it is determined that a teen no longer needs special services, once a year the school and parents work together on formulating an appropriate individualized education plan, or IEP, for the following academic year.
