Treatment
The cause of this disorder needs to be identified in order to be treated. Pronunciation problems, visual or auditory impairments, or even an unfavorable study environment are frequently the causes. The speech therapist or child psychologist may recommend a course of treatment that focuses on learning and applying proper spelling, as well as resolving related issues, based on the cause and degree of impairment.
