Abstract
The family physician who is asked to see a child with school problems will first have to rule out physical and neurological handicaps. While he will be able in most cases to say what the child's learning difficulty is, he will need the results of psycho-linguistic testing to determine whether the child is suffering from a real disability (dyslexia, dysgraphia, perceptual motor difficulties) or whether the child's school problems are due to other reasons.
