If you suspect your child is having problems understanding sounds,
communicating, following instructions or completing basic school
assignments, have the child tested.
Most schools provide comprehensive hearing, speech and educational testing.
This problem isn't the kind of thing a child will simply out-grow.
It's important to take care of the problem as early as possible, making
necessary changes before the child starts failing or perceives himself as a
failure.
