Summer vacation is a time that children look forward to with great excitement, but it can also bring some challenges for children with learning disabilities and their families. A learning disability means that a child has difficulty learning and practicing reading, writing, math or other academic skills. This can make a child feel different from others in the classroom or in social situations, and sometimes lead to frustration. Summer vacation can also be a source of stress for families of children with learning disabilities. Factors such as worrying that their child will regress in academic skills, fearing that they will fall behind in social interactions or moving away from a regular routine can make this period difficult to manage.
So, how can children with learning disabilities and their families make the most of their summer vacation?
They can do reading and writing activities.
For reading, choose books that interest your child. Picture books, audio books or graphic novels can be good options.
Encourage writing skills with activities such as journaling, writing stories or vacation memories.
They can do fun math activities.
