Cognition and Learning
This area focuses on how your child learns and thinks.
Some difficulties with learning may be obvious, whereas others aren’t. Children with cognition and learning difficulties usually learn at a slower pace than other children in their year group.
If your child has a cognition or learning need they may:
- find reading, writing, literacy and maths more challenging than other children
- have specific difficulties such as literacy difficulties or may find it tricky to learn new skills
- have strengths or difficulties with memory, organisation or planning
- require learning delivered in smaller ‘bite-size’ chunks using a range of multi-sensory learning techniques
