Is life feeling overwhelming? Are you struggling with patterns and behaviors that you can't quite seem to overcome? You may even be unsure of where they even started or came from. Struggling with the emotional turmoil from a divorce or breakup? PTSD, stress, and/or anxiety interfering with your daily life? It is estimated that 90% or more of our actions are driven by subconscious patterns. In order to change these patterns, you need modalities that can deal with them on the level they were created.

The trails of life can be confusing. Sometimes there are so many to chose from with no clear choice. Other times, the trails grow faint. And still other times, all we can see is one trail, and we aren't thrilled with where it's heading. What we need are questions to help us discern which trail, or new ground to traverse. If you’re looking for the answers, I’m not your guy. If you are courageous enough to ask the questions and look deep, pack a bag. It’ll be a ride.

Education and Learning Disabilities Therapists
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.

When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.

What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.

Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
