The course builds on basic knowledge of the issue of specific learning disorders and focuses on the question of choosing and setting up an effective intervention. The main goal of the course is to introduce students to the range of preventive programs and intervention procedures and methods, together with evidence-based findings about their effectiveness and benefits.
In addition to the intervention focused on the development of school skills (reading, writing, arithmetic), the issue of setting up support for personal and social development will also be discussed. Emphasis will be placed on the possibility of practical use for setting up a targeted intervention with regard to the specific form of literacy difficulties and their cause, the environmental environment (family, school) and the personality of the child, pupil or student with specific learning disabilities.
Topics will be discussed from the perspective of academic domains.
