An essential product for every educator who deals with children that may experience barriers to learning from Pre-School to High School

All staff will have access to this fantastic teaching tool for only R395-00 Per school

Since the return to school after multiple lockdowns, the school environment has become exceptionally difficult and very demanding of teachers. More and more learners are being diagnosed with disorders which can cause barriers to learning. These need to be managed by the teacher in the classroom. Often, teachers do not know what the symptoms of various disorders are and therefore interpret the child’s behaviour as misbehaviour which leads to disciplining the child. This can be very frustrating for the child and the teacher.

The purpose of this manual is to:

  • Help teachers to understand the nature and symptoms of disorders
  • Help teachers to identify possible barriers to learning
  • Provide tips on how to manage these in the classroom
  • Assisting with early identification and intervention
  • Making the appropriate referral
