Dr Sathiya Ganesan’s
Learning differently is not a failure — it’s a different pathway to greatness.
Specific Learning Disorders can create hurdles in a child’s academic journey, affecting skills like reading, writing, or mathematics. However, with early understanding, expert support, and compassionate guidance, these hurdles can be overcome.
At Dr. Sathiya Ganesan’s Child and Adolescent Psychiatry Center, we believe that every child learns differently — and every child deserves to succeed.
Understanding Specific Learning Disorders
Different Ways. Same Dreams. Endless Possibilities.
Specific Learning Disorders (SLD) refer to difficulties in specific academic areas despite having normal intelligence. Common types include Dyslexia (reading difficulties), Dysgraphia (writing difficulties), and Dyscalculia (math difficulties). These challenges can lead to frustration, low self-esteem, and school struggles. Early identification and specialised interventions are essential for empowering these young minds.
Common Signs of Specific Learning Disorders
Children with SLD may show:
- Difficulty reading fluently, recognising words, or understanding texts (Dyslexia)
- Problems with spelling, handwriting, or organising ideas in writing (Dysgraphia)
- Challenges in understanding numbers, doing calculations, or grasping math concepts (Dyscalculia)
- Avoidance of reading, writing, or math tasks
- Inconsistent academic performance despite effort
- Anxiety or frustration related to schoolwork
Recognising these signs early can prevent emotional distress and academic failure.
Nurturing Academic Growth Through Specialized, Personalized Care
Our therapy and intervention plans include:
- Specialized Remedial Education targeting reading, writing, and math skills
- Multisensory Teaching Techniques to engage multiple learning pathways
- Assistive Technology Training (audiobooks, speech-to-text software)
- Occupational Therapy for fine motor and handwriting skills
- Social and Emotional Skills Coaching to build resilience and self-esteem
- Memory and Organizational Strategy Coaching
Each plan is personalized to unlock the child’s true academic and emotional potential, helping them build skills with confidence and joy.
Thoughtful Medication Management When Needed
While medications are not typically used for SLD itself, if a child has co-existing ADHD, anxiety, or mood disorders affecting learning, Dr. Sathiya Ganesan carefully evaluates the need for medication support with collaborative family discussions.
Building Healthy Study Routines for Mind-Body Balance
Structured homework routines, regular breaks, ergonomic study setups, healthy sleep patterns, balanced nutrition, and mindfulness exercises are incorporated into care plans to create optimal learning conditions both at school and at home.
Integrated Care for Associated Emotional and Behavioural Challenges
Children with SLD often experience anxiety, low self-confidence, frustration, or even depression. We provide integrated emotional support through therapy to address these challenges, ensuring academic difficulties do not affect the child’s self-worth or mental health.

At what age can Specific Learning Disorders be identified?
Learning difficulties can be detected as early as 5–7 years of age, once formal reading, writing, and math instruction begins.
Can a child outgrow a Specific Learning Disorder?
While SLD is lifelong, early intervention helps children develop compensatory strategies that allow them to excel academically and professionally.
Is SLD linked to intelligence?
No. Children with SLD have average or above-average intelligence. They simply process information differently.
What are the most effective treatments for SLD?
Specialized remedial education, multisensory instruction methods, skill-building therapies, and classroom accommodations are the most effective.
Are medications helpful for SLD?
Medications do not treat SLD itself but may be used if there are co-existing ADHD, anxiety, or mood disorders affecting learning.
How can parents help a child with SLD at home?
Encouraging a growth mindset, maintaining structured homework routines, using assistive technologies, and celebrating small achievements can make a big difference.
