Abstract

Learning difficulties are a common and complex behavioral issue in child development, characterized by significantly low academic achievement, which severely impacts children's academic performance and mental health. In recent years, with the deepening understanding of learning difficulties, the early identification and intervention of these difficulties have increasingly become an important topic in the field of child healthcare. Based on both domestic and international research evidence as well as clinical practical experience, this article systematically elaborates on the approaches and strategies for the early identification and intervention of learning difficulties, aiming to provide guidance for child healthcare professionals.
