What are learning disorders? How can schools endeavour to address
these disorders in today’s inclusive classrooms? This book answers
these important questions in practical terms and discusses in detail
the instructional needs of students with dyslexia, dysgraphia,
dyscalculia, dyspraxia and other significant disorders that affect
learning. Peter Westwood draws on international research literature to
provide supporting evidence of best practices. The book is unique in
linking the teaching methods recommended for overcoming learning
problems directly to each of the three tiers of support in the
Response-to-Intervention Model. It presents examples of effective
whole-class teaching, intensive small group instruction and individual
tutoring, as well as addressing key topics such as: educational
progress of students with learning disorders; principles for teaching
dyslexic students; difficulties with writing and spelling; developing
students’ numeracy skills; specific intervention strategies;
nonverbal learning disabilities. Learning Disorders will be of
interest to practising teachers, trainee teachers, teaching
assistants, educational psychologists, school counsellors and parents.
It will also provide valuable insights for any school planning to
upgrade its support system for students with special educational
needs.
