There are many students who have difficulties learning to read, write or do math for a variety of reasons – behavioural, emotional and development – and need attention beyond the regular scope of teaching instruction and curriculum.
The Certificate of Education Support – Learning Difficulties is an online professional development program that will provide you with the knowledge and skills required to support students with learning difficulties in all developmental domains.
You will learn how to identify the stages of physical, social and emotional development required for each phase of development in the curriculum and how to support the development of students using appropriate strategies, materials and resources. You will also gain an understanding of the cognitive and language development stages and discover a range of developmental issues that impact on learning.
On completion of this learning support course, you will have acquired the knowledge and skills required to deal with difficult behaviours, promote cooperative behaviour and contribute to the inclusion of all students in the classroom.
Printed learning materials are available for purchase for this course and can be ordered during enrolment.
