Hi ,
Specific learning difficulties (SpLD) - is a term for a range of associated learning differences.
They affect the way students learn and
process information, and can affect literacy, memory, coordination, the manipulation of letters and numbers and more...
These differences can appear across all ages, ranges of ability, and with varying degrees of severity or significance, and it's more the norm than the exception that these challenges will overlap.
But there is a severe lack of teacher training, when it comes to SpLD's, and that leaves many teachers feeling frustrated.
This is how it generally goes...
A new student joins your class and comes with a diagnosis of an SpLD (or a range of learning challenges).
Your job is to support them to ensure they experience success.
But...
You're not trained in specific learning difficulties so what do you do?
You grab this...
