From "Learning disorders and the Flow of Expectations," by Melvin D. Levine, MD, FAAP, published in Their World, 1990. These lists are guideposts for parents, teachers, and others involved. They should not be used in isolation, but may lead you to seek further assessment. Many children will, from time to time, have difficulty with one or more of these items. They should always be reviewed in a broader context of understanding about a child. Copyright © 1992 National Center for Learning Disabilities, Inc. All rights reserved.
