An estimated 30% of school-age children have a learning disability. Early signs of learning disabilities can sometimes appear as behaviors or developmental delays in preschoolers and toddlers. However, these behaviors can have various causes, as children develop differently. According to Rebecca Parlakian of Zero to Three, delays in fine motor skills, for example, could be a normal part of development or a sign of something more serious. Early identification and intervention are crucial for improving a child’s social and academic outcomes in the future.
