Methods for Developing and Automating Primary School Skills in Children with Learning Difficulties

What could be more distressing for a parent than seeing their child struggle at the start of their school life and face significant challenges in learning to read, write or do arithmetic?

This lecture will explore the common difficulties children encounter when acquiring essential school skills, as well as effective methods and techniques to support their development.

The topic is particularly relevant, as such difficulties often become a major source of stress and anxiety for both children and their parents, especially during the early stages of education. Understanding the root causes of these challenges and knowing how to address them can help alleviate tension and create a more supportive learning environment.

During the lecture, we will discuss various alternative approaches and strategies that can effectively bypass traditional teaching methods, enabling children to overcome learning obstacles more successfully. These techniques will equip educators and parents with new ways to support children in mastering fundamental school skills.
