Group Therapy for Specific Learning Disability (SLD) in Bangalore

Group therapy is one of the most effective interventions for children and adolescents with Specific Learning Disability (SLD). This is because having a learning disability (LD) impacts not only a child’s academic growth, but also can impact social adjustment and formation of peer relationships negatively. Moreover, a group therapy intervention can be effective in directly addressing it and providing a space to overcome it. A child with SLD can also experience emotional distress and develop various negative self-concepts as a result of their SLD, which can be addressed in a group setting where the child may find that they are not alone in their experience and be discouraged from assigning themselves negative labels because of their LD.
We offer group therapy for SLD in Bangalore. Our trained psychologists facilitate the group therapy sessions and provide a non-judgemental and safe space for children and adolescents with SLD to express their academic, emotional, and social difficulties and learn strategies to overcome them.

Overview

When a child or an adolescent has a learning disability, they may find themselves struggling to cope with in school academically. A myriad of other psychological, emotional, and social issues can tag along for the child which can include feeling not good enough, criticizing themselves or being criticized by teachers and parents, being labelled as stupid or unintelligent, experiencing frustration, anger, shame, etc. at not being able to understand academic concepts, not being included with peers, etc. When such a child is made part of group therapy, it gives them the room to realize that they are not alone and that other children too are facing similar issues. The psychologist conducting the group therapy sessions can also help the children with SLD understand that they are not to blame for it, but that they can make small efforts at striving towards enhancing their learning abilities. Being equipped with effective strategies and acknowledgement of little steps of progress while getting and giving positive feedback to other children with SLD in the group, group therapy could be a rewarding and effective intervention for children with SLD.
