Family Therapy for Specific Learning Disability (SLD) in Bangalore

When a child has a learning disability, it can affect not just the child but the whole family. There could be blame and comparison between the child with a Specific Learning Disability (SLD) and their other siblings or schoolmates who may be performing better or more efficiently than them. This can negatively impact the morale of the child with SLD and thwart the other efforts put in by extra tutoring. Parents may experience a lot of different negative emotions such as anger and frustration as a result of their child’s SLD affecting their school performance, which can lead to constant negative interactions in the family. The child may also experience emotional distress as a result of rigid and unrealistic expectations from others. In addition, other children of the family may be neglected as a result of parents attending constantly to a child with SLD. Family therapy can help identify and replace these unhealthy family dynamics and help nurture a positive family environment.
We offer family therapy for SLD in Bangalore. Our family therapists are well-trained and experienced in working with a number of families and can equip you with insights into your own family dynamics and help you collaboratively devise strategies to enhance your child’s learning while creating a nurturing environment.

Overview

When a child has a Specific Learning Disability (SLD), it does not affect only his/ her grades in school. It can have a deeper impact on the child’s emotional well-being and can spill over into other areas of their life including school, family and friendship. Moreover, they may find themselves comparing with others’ academic skills and feeling not good enough, be discouraged to complete their homework which may take them longer than other students, be labelled negatively by parents who do not understand the difficulties they may be facing and thus put rigidly high expectations on them, or may feel excluded from forming peer relationships. This is why family intervention could play a crucial role in helping a child cope with and gradually improve upon his/ her SLD. Family could become the support system that helps the child feel accepted and encourages them to put in the extra efforts required to enhance their learning. Family therapy could also help psycho-educate the family about SLD and help change their interactions from critical and positive and nurturing ones that helps in the healthy development of the child – academically, psychologically, and emotionally.

How effective is Family Therapy for SLD?

Family therapy is effective in helping family members become aware of the negative interactional patterns that affect the child with SLD as well as other members of the family and changing these in order to reinforce and strengthen bonds between family members.
