Pediatric Occupational Therapy for Dyslexia
in Charlotte & Huntersville, NC
Does your child with dyslexia have difficulty following instructions or keeping track of assignments during the school day? Because dyslexia affects how the brain processes written language, school tasks like reading, writing, copying, and following written directions can take more effort, making it harder for your child to stay organized and complete their schoolwork with ease.
The pediatric occupational therapists at Little Wonders Pediatric Therapy can help your child build and strengthen the skills they use to manage daily school routines and thrive academically.
What Is Dyslexia?
Dyslexia is a common, language-based learning difference that affects how the brain interprets letters, sounds, and written words. Your child may understand stories and ideas very well when they hear them aloud, but reading can take more effort and they may have difficulty remembering what they just read.
Children with dyslexia often:
- Lose their place on the page
- Mix up letter sounds
- Get fatigued during reading tasks
- Struggle with copying from the board or a book
- Forget spelling patterns or sight words
- Avoid reading aloud due to discomfort
- Have trouble following written steps in order
How Occupational Therapy Helps With Dyslexia
Dyslexia can make written tasks, classroom pacing, and organization feel harder for your child. At Little Wonders Pediatric Therapy, our occupational therapists focus on the everyday skills your child uses in school and help them build confidence and consistency.
Sessions are designed to feel engaging and supportive so your child can build skills in a way that feels natural, playful, and encouraging. For example, we help your child with:
- Handwriting clarity and pacing
- Keeping track of homework and materials
- Staying focused during classroom activities
- Feeling more comfortable during reading and writing tasks
Occupational therapy can also support a math-based learning difference called dyscalculia, which affects how a child understands numbers and completes written math work. In these cases, similar strategies are used to help your child keep numbers aligned on the page, follow written steps in order, and stay organized during multi-step math tasks.
