Abstract
Specific learning disorders (SLDs) account for the largest percentage of children receiving specialized instruction in schools. Despite the high prevalence, the diagnosis of SLDs is often delayed until it has had a detrimental impact on a child's academic performance and mental health, which has long-term consequences. The general pediatric provider is uniquely positioned for impactful intervention on SLDs when caring for children during critical windows of learning and development. In this article, we provide a review of the existing literature for the general pediatric provider and describe the role that providers ought to have in screening and referring for SLDs. We suggest current gaps and future opportunities for research and advocacy. [Pediatr Ann. 2025;54(4):e144-e149.].
