A learning disorder (or disability) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by a persistent difficulty in one or more areas of learning, when overall intelligence and motivation are not affected.

Children with learning difficulties often experience challenges:

Understanding and following instructions
Identifying letters, numbers, and words and make reversals (after 7 years)
Remembering what was just said or read
Grouping items and recognizing patterns

Understanding measurement (time, money, estimating)
Coordinating fine and gross motor movements (e.g., writing, running)
Keeping track of items and possessions

Learning disorders are identified through a direct assessment of the child’s cognitive functioning and academic achievement in reading, writing, and math. This type of evaluation is commonly referred to as a psychoeducational evaluation.

For evaluations, YMC is currently in-network with BCBS, United, Cigna, Aetna, and ComPsych. At this time, they are not in-network with any state-funded plans, such as AHCCCS or Mercy Care.
