Primary Schoolers Special Programs

Primary Schoolers Special Programs

• Children who can't learn in the same way as others have learning difficulties. A new way has to be found to teach them and this takes time and patience.
• Schools help children with learning difficulties in ways such as:
  • there may be a separate classroom
  • part of the day may be spent in a separate classroom or group
  • an assistant, parent, consultant or other teacher may come in to the classroom to help.
• Some children are put in a different program until they can cope with the regular classroom.
• Some children need the extra help of a special program throughout their schooling.
• Sometimes children with learning difficulties may:
  • need more time to do things
  • do fewer examples in the same time
  • do the same kind of lesson but in a simpler way
  • have things to touch, move or hold which help them understand
  • use a computer for written assignments
  • use audiotapes to help them read
  • be given (by their doctor) medication.
• There are no simple quick solutions for learning disabilities. but encouragement and praise will help your child's self esteem.
