Dyslexia and Aphasia (Greek names for various kinds of language problems) affect one out of ten children.

Children with learning disabilities look no different than children without language or learning problems. That is why so many people suffer all of their lives. They don't know what the problem is. All they know is that they have trouble reading, writing, and speaking. As children, they become used to being scolded, ignored, or teased because when they want to say something, the words won't come; when they want to read, nothing makes sense; as for writing, any relationship between the alphabet and the spoken language is incomprehensible. If they are intelligent, and most of them are, they learn to hide their disability behind well developed memories, but at some point, memory alone cannot serve them. Or they simply "tune out," refuse to pay attention, and become behavior problems. They drop out of school, they take menial jobs, they cannot compete with their peers, and the don't try. It is a shame and a loss! That is...

Unless they are properly diagnosed and get help.

And help is available here at the Scottish Rite Children's Language and Learning Center for the asking!!!
