Pediatric Speech and Occupational Therapy for Dyslexia
in Winder, GA
If your child has dyslexia, they may experience difficulties that go beyond reading. Challenges with schoolwork and classroom routines can leave your child feeling frustrated or discouraged. At Let’s Communicate, our pediatric speech and occupational therapists work together to support the language and everyday skills your child needs for reading, writing, and academic success.
What Is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a language-based learning difference that affects how your child’s brain processes written language, including the connection between letters, sounds, and words. Your child may understand information easily when it is shared out loud, but reading and writing can take more effort and concentration.
Children with dyslexia may experience challenges such as:
- Losing their place while reading
- Confusing similar letter sounds or sound patterns
- Getting tired during reading or writing tasks
- Copying written information inaccurately
- Having difficulty spelling words
- Struggling to follow written directions in the correct order
How Speech Therapy Supports Children With Dyslexia
A child with dyslexia often has difficulty connecting spoken words to written language, which can make reading and spelling more challenging. Speech therapy helps your child build the language skills needed to read and spell with greater accuracy and confidence.
Speech therapy may help your child with:
- Recognizing and organizing speech sounds
- Understanding how sounds connect to letters and letter patterns
- Improving reading accuracy and fluency
- Strengthening spelling and writing skills
- Feeling more comfortable reading aloud
How Occupational Therapy Supports Children With Dyslexia
Because reading and writing take extra effort for a child with dyslexia, it can be harder to deal with handwriting, organization, focus, and classroom distractions. Occupational therapy helps strengthen the skills that affect how your child manages classroom tasks.
Occupational therapy may help your child with:
- Building handwriting strength, clarity, and endurance
- Helping your child remain focused while reading and writing
- Improving efficiency and independence with classroom tasks
- Staying organized with school materials and assignments
- Coping with distractions in busy classroom settings
