Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study was conducted to examine primary school teachers' level of knowledge on learning disabilities (LD). This information is important, as early detection of a learning disability has been proven to be imperative to a student's academic success in school. Since primary school teachers are the first educators with whom students come in contact, they may be the first to detect possible signs of a learning disability and initiate some form of intervention. As a result, this research examines primary teachers' level of knowledge about learning disabilities, where teachers obtained this knowledge, and teachers' beliefs about learning disabilities. An Internet survey was employed in this study through Fluid Survey. The questionnaire was advertised to primary school teachers to participate through teacher pages on Facebook. The survey received 143 responses from Ontario primary school teachers. The data analysis for this research was examined in three sections; demographics of participants, primary teachers' knowledge of learning disabilities, and cross analysis between the two other sections (demographics and teachers' knowledge about learning disabilities). Frequency, ANOVA, and chi-square tests were conducted on the data for analysis. It was concluded that teachers have robust knowledge on characteristics of learning disabilities and effective classroom strategies for students with learning disabilities. However, it was also determined that teachers' area of weakness was in their knowledge of risk factors that can cause a student to have a learning disability. Interestingly, early grade primary teachers (grade 1 and grade 2 teachers) received the least support from fellow teachers and educational assistance. Based on these findings it is recommended that further examination of how primary teachers use their knowledge in a classroom with students with LD is required.

Book excerpt: Learning disabilities are among the most common disabilities experienced in childhood and adulthood. Although identifying learning disabilities in a school setting is a complex process, it is particularly challenging in low- and middle-income countries that lack the appropriate resources, tools, and supports. This guide provides an introduction to learning disabilities and describes the processes and practices that are necessary for the identification process. It also describes a phased approach that countries can use to assess their current screening and evaluation services, as well as determine the steps needed to develop, strengthen, and build systems that support students with learning disabilities. This guide also provides intervention recommendations that teachers and school administrators can implement at each phase of system development. Although this guide primarily addresses learning disabilities, the practices, processes, and systems described may be also used to improve the identification of other disabilities commonly encountered in schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1986. This book is concerned with the problems children have in learning in normal or remedial classrooms, within ordinary primary schools. It deals with children in the 5 to 11 age range but much is also applicable to children at the lower end of the secondary school. It looks at a wide range of difficulties and for each area it classifies and describes the difficulties, considers the numbers of children with the difficulty; and discusses problems of diagnosis and remediation. It reviews certain psychological theories and research findings and relates them to practice; and it describes the work of professionals such as speech therapists, showing how the classroom teacher can support such professionals; but the major concern of the book is to help practicing teachers and teachers in training to work out intelligently for themselves how to improve their performance in this area.
