Educators at The Roig Academy, your private school in Miami, have a thorough understanding of the learning differences that each of its students may be diagnosed with.
What is Memory?
Three types of memory are important to learning, and the instructors at our school for children with learning differences, understand how to ensure a learning environment that caters to these different types of memory. Working memory, short-term memory and long-term memory are used in the processing of both verbal and non-verbal information. If there are deficits in any or all of these types of memory, the ability to store and retrieve information required to carry out tasks can be impaired.

How do I know if my child may have issues with memory?
Working Memory
Working Memory refers to the ability to hold onto pieces of information until the pieces blend into a full thought or concept. For example, reading each world until the end of a sentence or paragraph and then understanding the full content.
Short-Term Memory
Short-Term Memory is the active process of storing and retaining information for a limited period of time. The information is temporarily available but not yet stored for long-term retention.
Long-Term Memory
Long-Term Memory refers to information that has been stored and that is available over a long period of time. Individuals might have difficulty with auditory memory or visual memory.
If your child has been diagnosed with a learning difference that concerns memory, they may experience difficulty retaining the information they learn in the classroom. The Roig Academy, a private school that emphasizes helping students with learning differences, can help. Reach out today to inquire about enrolling your child at The Roig!
