How common are learning difficulties? More common than you would imagine. About 25% or more of your class could be sufferring from a learning difficulty without you even being aware that this is so. In the USA, as many as 1 out of every 5 people has a learning disability. Almost 3 million children (ages 6 through 21) have some form of learning disability and receive special education in school.
That might sound shocking, and it is, but not as shocking as having the same number of children in schools throughout the UAE who get ignored because their teachers haven't been trained to identify learning difficulties and to put into place coping strategies for those children affected.
Come to our workshop on ADD/ADHD and learn how to help not only the children in your class at the moment, but those who will come through your classes in the future. ADD and ADHD are very disruptive learning disabilities that can lead to difficulties in academic, emotional, and social functioning. These are children that teachers dread to have, but only because they don't know how to handle them. These children are often difficult, disruptive, inattentive and sometimes even aggressive.
Having a child like this in your classroom can make your life miserable, including those who share your class. Don't hate your job. Learn how to help these children with practical methods taught to you.
3 hours out of your busy schedule could result in a lifetime change to not only the way you teach, but also to your sanity!
