Does your child sit in unusual or uncomfortable positions and change the angle of the paper as he or she writes? This may be an indication that your child struggles to cross the midline of his or her body, which is a sign of a learning problem.

Do you mean when they sit in the “W” position?

@@jenniferbyrne4567 When we talk about an unusual sitting position, we are referring to leaning heavily to one side or sitting sideways in their chair so that their eyes or their pencil don’t have to cross the midline when reading or writing. The "W" sitting position may actually be an indication of a retained STNR or Symmetrical Tonic Neck Reflex. For more information on retained reflexes and their impact on learning, check out our LD Expert Broadcast: How Retained Reflexes Impact Learning and Behavior here: ➡ kzread.infoj2yJfW9b9ZM?si=CMLVSt2DhHc2u9qM As well, you can find some more information on our Retained Reflexes Info page on our website: ➡ stowellcenter.com/core-learning-skills/ ▶ Here's the video answer with tons of resources in the caption: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nJlo0bZxg8rIgLQ.html If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Thank you for this! I'm digging deep into dysgraphia as I've recently figured out that my daugther, in college, has dysgraphia. Watching your videos has been a huge help as she's agreed to work with me this summer. Do you have a parent support group (online- we are in Boston) or any other resources I can acces remotely? Thank you!

We use the technique with any book or material. The student points under the word and the instructor/parent points above the word. It seems like the lines might be too small, but they're not. It works! Thanks for asking. It's a simple and powerful technique!

Thanks so much for the information Doc. May I ask you for my child who difficult to memorize the letterss. He only remember about 10-15 alphabet in his age now 6 years old. Is he has dyslexia? Thanks Doc ❤

Difficulty learning the alphabet and recognizing or writing letters is a common symptom of dyslexia. Often our dyslexic learners have to sing the alphabet in order to be able to write it. Here are some other early indicators that dyslexia could be an issue: ✅ A family history of dyslexia ✅ Early speech problems ✅ If your child had difficulty rhyming ✅ Has difficulty learning the sounds of letters, or ✅ Is already showing an aversion to looking at print ▶ Here's the video answer with tons of resources in the caption: kzread.info/dash/bejne/l6KGsq6pYJfcn5s.htmlsi=a_b3tvFGRZad1JtG If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to reach out!

Great video. My daughter is 28. She is dysgraphia, dyslexic and dyscalculia. She could not go through normal school. Can she be helped at this age?
