«Support for Children with Learning Difficulties»
Who hasn't had challenging educational relationships, children and young people for whom everything you have learned as an educator leads to absolutely no progress in learning? Children whose behavior leads us to self-doubt and sleepless nights? Students about whom we're quick to make judgments, which only hides the fact that we basically don't understand them?
In rare moments of happiness, we sometimes realize that behind what we experience as «difficult» there is sometimes a personality with special talents. In discussions with colleagues, it became clear to the preparatory group that the title could have been worded differently. Instead of learning difficulties, one could speak of diversified learning requirements or «deviating learning requirements,» recognizing that our methodological diversity may not correspond to the particularities of the child.
Not only specialists in the field of special education are invited, but all teachers and educators. Contributors include Joep Eijkenboom, Kris Boshell, Laura Pellico, Fenella Blakay, and Philipp Reubke.
