The first warning signs can be observed both at home and at school. In the school environment, the teaching staff can detect it more quickly because they have a whole group to compare with and observe differences in learning paces or disruptive behaviors.

We should be concerned and seek professional help if we observe:

AT HOME

• When you dedicate a lot of effort and get few results on simple tasks, it's not so much the results that matter, but the time you need to invest to achieve them.
• When a child avoids certain tasks. When a child always postpones homework or when doing it causes them stress and conflict.
• When a child doesn't want to go to school, they may verbalize it or somatize it through stomach aches or headaches, for example.

AT SCHOOL

• When the child is distracted, gets up a lot, is bothersome, talks a lot, or has disruptive behavior that affects the pace of the class.
• When it requires a lot of support in the tasks.
• When there is a lack of motivation
• When there is a lack of concentration, disorganization, failure to submit work, and a lack of autonomy.
