They may listen but show little interest in letters or words. Children may develop speech and language slower than others. It may be hard to remember names or to carry out a set of instructions forgetting what has been said. Some children may also find some physical skills hard such as catching, kicking or throwing a ball.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs children start school and progress their difficulties become more noticeable with poor concentration, difficulty following instructions. Some may ?forget? words, names, numbers. The standard of written work is often lower than expected with messy work, words rubbed or crossed out and poor handwriting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhysically you may also see awkward or poor pencil grip. Joined up writing is hard to achieve and difficulty in remembering sequences (including sequences of letters with poor spelling).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther areas become more obvious with children finding self organisation hard alongside poor time keeping. As the child becomes more aware of their differences they may decide to employ avoidance tactics which can include poor behaviour designed to get them out of the class!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSome children may choose to invite laughter rather than face judgement and become the class clown. Others may become withdrawn, worried and anxious. Sadly many children find themselves the butt of bullies attention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther traits that may be seen include:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e•\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Difficulty making friends and keeping friends Often children find it hard to keep up with peers and they will focus on friendships with younger children. Some may prefer the company of adults who have more time for them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Frustration and Challenging Behaviour many children do not feel understood and may become social isolated. They may find their own coping mechanisms which can include becoming the class clown, acting the fool. Some may be attention seeking, yearning for approval. Others may have periods of worry, anxiety or even depression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e• Tiredness and headaches we've already mentioned excessive tiredness due to the need to concentrate.
