If your child has a learning disability or is deemed a slow learner and you want to discover how best to help them learn, keep reading.
The Pocket Learner is an educational system that the author initially developed to help her child with special educational needs. The system became an international multi-award-winning innovation and has been extended to families across the globe to help their children build vocabulary, learn to read, and count.
The author realized that several factors needed to be in place for her child to thrive in contemporary society. First, she had to learn the hard way, battling every step of the way to access resources, therapies, and care support for her child. In addition, she had to find ways to engage her child in the home. This led her to develop the Special Education Advancement Toolkit - an inspirational, educational model and guide for parents of children struggling in their early years or who have been diagnosed with special educational needs. It incorporates the Pocket Learner as the main resource in the Toolkit.
The structure is built on six principles represented by the acronyms: HOPE, FAITH, GENTLE(ness), JOY, LOVE, and PEACE. The framework revolves around the child, the star, fruit of the womb endowed with innate abilities and gifts.
The toolkit covers the range of roles, responsibilities, and activities that families and other relevant parties must implement. The framework revolves around the child, the star in the center - the fruit of the womb, endowed with innate abilities and bearing gifts for delivery to the world. It advocates early and consistent intervention by the relevant parties and promotes collaboration among a range of services and the child’s family. This joined-up strategy is an aspiration that, if achieved, yields optimum results for your special child.
