Risk factors for learning difficulties in the reading/writing

Abstract

Fifty five files of children with difficulties in the reading/writing process were reviewed. The perinatal risk factors, the presence and severity of difficulties in the learning of the reading/writing were established. 85% of children with perinatal risk factors presented difficulties in the reading/writing process. The early detection of perinatal risk factors and the establishment of opportune strategies of intervention will contribute to the diminution of sequelaes in school stages.
