When Learning Problems are Disguised as Psychological Ones

In many countries including Malaysia, the local school authorities routinely test children for Dyslexia and other learning difficulties. This helps with identification and channelling of student to support services. Early detection leads to better outcomes as students can get the help they need. In my experience, the “bright” students who are identified early, and undergo well-planned interventions, are often symptom free by the time they get to university.
