A child with integration learning disabilities may have trouble remembering sequences such as the alphabet or the days of the week. They may also have trouble grasping basic math and science concepts taught in school. Disorganization of ideas or even objects (e.g., a messy bedroom) can also be a symptom. Social problems, such as difficulty with impulse control, seeming to "never pay attention," aggression, discipline problems, or excessive anxiety can also be symptoms of an integration learning disability. When the integration learning disabilities are severe, symptoms may become apparent when the child is very young, but milder disability may only present itself when the child is faced with the challenges of the school environment for the first time.

Treatment options for integration learning disabilities include psychotherapy, educational accommodations and tutoring, and medication. Educational accommodation may take the form of special classes or teaching techniques that cater to the way your child learns best. No one method works for every child, so educational strategies must be tailored to each child's strengths and weaknesses. Medications such as Ritalin may be added to your child's treatment regimen as well.

In general, drugs don't have much of an effect on academic performance. However, stimulant medications such as Ritalin may be added to your child's treatment regimen to boost their response to the changes in their educational program. These medications augment your child's ability to learn because they may improve your child's focus and attention.
