A Complete Guide to Identify and Support Barriers to Learning

The book explains the most common learning barriers learners may face in mainstream schools. There are 30 chapters in the book and each chapter addresses a different learning barrier or aspect of learning. Each chapter starts with a description or explanation of the specific topic, followed by the possible causes and symptoms of the learning barrier or learning aspect. A list of possible intervention strategies follows in each chapter, which teachers can use to support the learners to reach their full potential. The intervention strategies are easy to follow, and schools do not have to spend large amounts of money to buy equipment or pay specialists to support the learners. The research for this book has been done throughout the last 8 years. Each chapter was read by specialists and organisations across the world who specialise in each specific learning barrier. Remedial and Learner Support teachers with ample experience were interviewed as well as parents who have children who face barriers to learning. The author sifted through thousands of research articles and information to present our teachers across the world with the latest and best information on each topic. The learning barriers covered in this book include: The Brain, Intelligence Quotient and Emotional Quotient, Memory, Vision Impairments, Visual Processing Disorder, Vision Therapy, Hearing Loss, Auditory Processing Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, Developmental Coordination Disorder, Attention Deficit Disorder and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Brain, Eye and Hand Dominance, Speech and Language Disorders, Dyslexia, Reading, Handwriting, Mathematics, Cerebral Palsy, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Epilepsy, Tourette Syndrome, Foetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, Diabetes, Nutrition, Positive Behaviour Support, Screen Time, Developing Fine Motor Skills, Developing Gross Motor Skills and Crossing the Midline.
