Understanding Children With Specific Learning Disorders
Workshop Details
Specific Learning Disorder is a medical term used to describe a range of learning disorders that affect the foundation for a child to learn. The learning disorders include Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Visual and Auditory Processing Disorder, and so on. You will learn how to identify symptoms in students who may have these disorders and the methods of treatment.
Dyslexia (Specific Learning Disorders)
The first six years of life are extremely important for speech and language development. Children with dyslexia would benefit greatly from early intervention as they typically experience a delay in this aspect of development. To level the playing field, specialist intervention is needed to enable them to pick up the necessary literacy skills. Without this foundation, many children would struggle in school.
