L.D-Learning Disability Remedial Teacher’s Training Diploma Course Remedial Teacher’s Training


Introduction:

Learning disability (LD) or dyslexia is a condition in which a person has difficulty learning in a conventional manner. This is usually caused by an unknown factor or factors. Learning disability refers to significant learning problems in one or more of academic areas such as acquisition and use of listening, speaking, reading, writing, reasoning or mathematical abilities. Therefore it becomes important to make parents, teachers, and others aware of the facts about this unique problem.


This course provides special education suitable for individuals (Parents, Teachers, Social workers), who aspire to help dyslexics and similarly affected persons. The training involves multi-structured and multi-sensory remedial strategies, teaching techniques and improvisation needed for individual’s learning capacity and needs, through caring attitudes and positive motivation. IEP (Individualistic Educational Plan) are often preferred to suit individual needs. Researchers think that learning disabilities are caused by difference in how a person’s brain works and how it processes information. Children with learning disabilities are not “dumb” or “lazy.” In fact, they often have average or above average intelligence. Their brains just process information differently.


There is no “cure” for learning disabilities. They persist for life-long. However, children with LD can be high achievers and can be taught ways to get around their learning disability. With the right help, children with LD can and do learn successfully.
