==Diagnosis==
A [[Speech-Languagelanguage Pathologistpathologist]] (SLP), [[Psychologist]], [[Social worker]], and sometimes [[Neurologist]] work together or individually to find the proper diagnosis for children with LBLD. Additionally, they evaluate speaking, listening, reading, and written language for children who have LBLD.
* SLPs evaluate the child's comprehension skills, and the child’s ability to follow verbal and written directions. Also, they look for responsiveness, and see if the child recognizes familiar signs or holds a book correctly and they look for whether the child knows and/or writes letters, and names.
* Social workers obtain literacy history from the home, and then observe the child during classroom activities, they look for social interactions.
