Learning Differences

Learning differences surface in children with average to superior intelligence and begin to impact learning when the child has trouble cognitively processing information caused by disorders of auditory, visual, or motor skills.

Frequently, these children perform below intellectual potential in reading, math, and/or written language. As the child measures himself against the performance of his peers, frustration, anxiety, and feelings of low self-esteem entrench themselves.

Psychological Issues

Psychological issues may occur as direct results of these learning differences. Attention and concentration may become more problematic as formal schooling begins and a once happy, active child is labeled a discipline problem.

As a therapeutic school, Saint Anthony works to provide an overall environment that unlocks each child's potential.
