Remedial Strategies for Children with Specific Learning Disabilities

Empowering Educators with Effective Tools, Techniques & Practical Interventions

Supporting a child with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) requires more than traditional teaching. It requires understanding, observation, patience, and the right set of remedial strategies that address each child’s cognitive, linguistic, and behavioural needs. This course, “Remedial Strategies for Children with Specific Learning Disabilities,” is crafted to equip educators, special educators, parents, and psychology students with powerful tools to help children overcome learning barriers and thrive academically.

Children with SLD often struggle in areas such as reading, writing, spelling, memory, comprehension, and mathematics—not because they lack intelligence, but because their brains process information differently. With the right approach, these children can excel and develop lifelong confidence in their abilities. This course aims to bridge the gap between understanding and action by providing practical, evidence-based remedial solutions.

​

Course Description

This comprehensive course focuses on remedial teaching strategies for children with dyslexia, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, and other learning disabilities. It goes beyond theory and provides practical methods that can be directly implemented in classrooms, learning centres, and homeschooling environments. You will learn structured techniques to address reading difficulties, writing challenges, spelling errors, math anxiety, memory issues, and sentence construction struggles.

Every module is designed to give you step-by-step guidance, clear examples, hands-on tools, and real-world strategies used by expert special educators. By the end of this course, you will be able to design personalised remedial plans, support diverse learners, and create inclusive educational spaces where every child feels understood, supported, and encouraged.

​

Why Remedial Strategies Are Essential for Children With SLD

Specific Learning Disabilities do not disappear with age. Children who struggle with reading or math today may continue to struggle in higher grades if they do not receive timely intervention. Early remedial support can:

• Improve foundational skills

• Prevent academic backlogs

• Reduce anxiety and frustration

• Enhance classroom participation

• Strengthen confidence and self-esteem

• Improve long-term academic performance

With the right strategies, educators can help children unlock their learning potential. This course provides those strategies in a structured and actionable format.

​

What You Will Learn in This Course
