Diagnostic tests for Learning disabilities:

Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Learning disabilities. Some of these are listed below :

  • Information/report from school - teacher questionnaire is useful. The teachers may be asked for their perception of a child's academic and developmental strengths and weaknesses, peer relationships and classroom behaviors.
  • General appearance and observation
    • Looking for any dysmorphic (abnormality of shape) features of face and body - e.g. fetal alcohol syndrome.
  • Physical examination

Diagnosis Checklist: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)

During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques in their assessment of Learning disabilities. Your doctor may ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is important to remember that your consultation is a two-way process and any extra information you can share with your doctor about your symptoms may help them with their diagnosis. Some of the questions your doctor may ask are listed below:

  • How long have you noticed the learning difficulties? - to determine if acute or chronic.
  • What are the details of the pregnancy, birth and new born? - may detect prenatal infections, prenatal drugs and toxins, birth trauma, neonatal infection as a possible cause of learning difficulties.
  • What age was your baby when they reached certain milestones? - e.g. smiling, able to remain in sitting position unsupported, crawled, walked.
  • Extent of vocabulary? - assesses expressive language.
  • Is there consistent use of the same sounds for the same object or person?
  • more questions...»

Diagnosis Checklist: Associated symptoms your doctor may ask about (and why!)

Sometimes, other symptoms may be present and may help your doctor analyse your condition. The symptoms your doctor may ask about (in association with Learning disabilities) may include:

  • Impulsive behavior, inattentiveness and hyperactivity? - may suggest attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
  • Poor social interaction and language delay in the child? - e.g. poor eye contact, aloneness, difficulties relating to peers - may suggest autism as cause of learning difficulty.
  • Hearing problems? - Increasingly it is being recognised that children with subtle hearing problems are at a major risk of learning difficulties and school dysfunction. These children may develop subtle language and academic problems, as well as problems with attention and behavior.
  • Vision problems? - Children with any form of visual problems which affect acuity or eye movements will similarly be at risk of learning difficulties and school dysfunction.
  • Symptoms of depression ? - e.g. depressed mood, crying spells, anhedonia (loss of interest or pleasure), increase or decrease in appetite (usually decreased), weight loss or gain, insomnia or increased sleeping (usually early morning waking), fatigue, loss of energy, feelings of worthlessness, feelings of excessive guilt, poor concentration, difficulty making decisions - Depression may be mistaken for or imprecisely described as a learning disability.

Article Excerpts about Learning disabilities

LD is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. These limitations can show up in many ways--as specific difficulties with spoken and written language, coordination, self-control, or attention. Such difficulties extend to schoolwork and can impede learning to read or write, or to do math. (Source: excerpt from Learning Disabilities: NIMH)
