As teachers and parents, you can never know enough about how to provide for and better understand the children in our care. The spectrum of learning barriers is extremely vast with recent developments in research being made constantly.With the help of my very good friend “Google”, as well as that of social media, I have stumbled upon many fascinating articles focused on learning and behaviour difficulties written by both experts and teachers alike. Should you find any one of the featured articles particularly helpful, please feel free to share with fellow colleagues and parents who you feel could benefit from the information provided 🙂 🙂 :)Sharing is caring!
