Helping a child to build self-confidence and a solid educational foundation can be challenging when he or she has a learning disability. It is not impossible though. If your child has a learning disability, here are some ways you can find learning activities that can help your child grow educationally.  

Identify Your Child's Learning Styles

Regardless of whether or not children have learning disabilities, they all respond differently to various learning styles. For instance, one child might be a visual learner, while another child might respond better to putting into practice what is being taught.  

One way you can start to identify learning activities that will help your child cope with his or her disability is to find what his or her learning style. You can learn his or her style through observation and consulting with his or her teacher. There are certain characteristics that your child will exhibit for each style of learning.  

For instance, if your child is a more of a hands-on type of learner, he or she will learn best by demonstrating what is being taught to him or her. By contrast, a child that is more of an auditory learner will perform better when music or spoken directions are used to guide learning.  

Incorporate Culturally Relevant Materials

Throughout the course of your child's educational career, it is entirely possible for him or her to not be exposed to culturally relevant material in school. The lack of any diversity or a failure to incorporate images and materials that are culturally relevant to your child could be a missed opportunity to get your child actively involved in learning.  

By taking the time to include culturally relevant materials, you can potentially spark an interest in learning that was not there before. For instance, including Hispanic poets and novelists in a summer reading list could encourage a child with a similar heritage to embrace more reading and related activities.  

The same could be applied for gender, sexual orientation, or economic background. For instance, if you have a daughter, finding activities that encourage learning about women who excelled in math and science could lead to her wanting to know more about the subjects.  

There are other methods you can use to find appropriate learning activities for your child. Talk to his or her educators and listen to your child's input about what he or she wants to learn at home.
