Tutor and Assessor for Children with Specific Learning Difficulties
The umbrella term specific learning difficulties (SpLD) is used to cover a wide variety of difficulties. Many people use it synonymously with dyslexia (a difficulty with words), but it is now generally accepted that dyslexia is only one of a group of difficulties that may include:
dysgraphia: writing difficulty
dyspraxia: motor, co-ordination and organisational difficulties
dyscalculia: a difficulty performing mathematical calculations
These learning difficulties typically affect a child’s motor skills, information processing and memory. Many children with SpLD may have visual-perceptual problems. This affects their reading of print on white paper, on whiteboards, and on computers. David has considerable experience in this area and refers regularly to a North London optician, with particular expertise in how visual-perceptual issues relate to problems with learning.
