Roughly one in ten learners has a specific learning difficulty, and many more struggle for a time. Too often these children are called lazy, careless or slow — and they start to believe it. Understanding what is really happening changes everything: for the child’s learning, their confidence and family life.
This course explains the main types of learning difficulties, the signs to look for at each age, the difference between noticing and diagnosing, how to work with the school, and how to look after the child’s wellbeing.
This course supports learning; it does not diagnose. If a difficulty continues despite good teaching and practice, talk to the school and a qualified specialist (educational psychologist, speech and language therapist, occupational therapist or doctor). Free for every family and school.
Prerequisites: None.
