Supporting Disorders of Learning and Co-ordination
This revised and updated third edition, previously titled The Effective Teacher's Guide to Dyslexia and Other Learning Difficulties (Learning Disabilities), unravels the complexity of specific learning difficulties in an accessible and user-friendly way. Each chapter provides key information about the disorder in question, giving a clear definition before discussing prevalence, causal factors, identification, and assessment and provision. Implications for the curriculum and related assessment, pedagogy, resources, therapy/care, and school and classroom organisation are explained, allowing providers to reflect and adapt their practice in response to the needs of the individual. The book informs effective provision, with the aim of encouraging the best achievement and personal and social development for children and young people. The book authoritatively and lucidly addresses issues associated with • impairment in reading/dyslexia, • impairment in written expression/dysgraphia, • impairment in mathematics/dyscalculia, and • developmental co-ordination disorder/dyspraxia. Recognising the importance and the challenge of multi-professional working, the book relates provision to the roles of parents and carers alongside that of the practitioner. Underpinned by research and widely held professional judgement, this will prove a practical, readable, and inspiring resource for professionals in the UK, US, and elsewhere including teachers, therapists, psychologists, and students entering these professions.
Guide to Dyspraxia and Developmental Coordination Disorders
Built upon the good practice for which the Dyscovery Centre has become so well known, this book takes a broader view of the difficulties that those with additional needs face. It considers whether this is a health, educational or social difficulty and what the wider implications are for the individual and how they manage at home and in the community. The authors look at what happens, what can be done to help and what changes occur as the child becomes an adolescent and eventually an adult. Teachers, SENCOs, teaching assistants, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, speech and language therapists and parents of children with dyspraxia or developmental co-ordination disorders should find this book stimulates their thinking and helps them in their work.
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.
