Extract

There have been some exciting changes in education during the late 70s and early 80s. Of particular significance has been the emphasis on the processes of learning rather than the lockstep, content-oriented curriculum. This has enabled special education teachers to develop a fresh view of children with learning difficulties, discarding notions of their deficits and instead monitoring their current development and learning strategies, and the personal and environmental constraints which operate to limit their learning potential. This approach concentrates on the whole child, establishing strengths, building confidence through success, developing risk-taking behaviours, teaching problemsolving strategies, and learning to become an independent learner.
