Language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) are neurological conditions that affect a child’s ability to read, write, spell, and comprehend language. These challenges can impact academic performance, self-esteem, and future opportunities if left unaddressed. At the American Center for Psychiatry and Neurology , with branches in Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Al Ain , we specialize in diagnosing and treating LBLD, helping children overcome these difficulties and reach their full potential.

Common Signs to Look For
- Difficulty recognizing letters and words
- Poor reading fluency and comprehension

- Struggles with writing sentences or organizing thoughts on paper
