Description

Learning difficulties can lead to developmental problems for students. Early detection is the best way to help students continue their education. Study with us and learn how to recognize these types of problems’’

##IMAGE##

The management of learning difficulties that manifest themselves primarily in cognitive processes, language, and then affect the fundamental areas of reading, writing and mathematics, and other curricular disciplines, is a social problem that has yet to be solved. These types of learning difficulties are present in practically all educational centers, and their early detection is the best way to offer customized educational support in order to improve learning.

Detecting these types of learning difficulties is a major challenge for teachers, since their signs manifest in a heterogeneous way, and they are not detectable in all cases. With this advanced master’s degree, we want to give teachers and other educational center professionals the key concepts so that they can get up to date with the main learning difficulties, taking into account the most common areas. To this end, we have a program of the highest academic level, which is divided into two main blocks: educational attention in children and the management of learning difficulties and attention to diversity.

Thus, this advanced master’s degree answers the demand for soundly prepared professionals with up-to-date and relevant expertise, as well as the necessary skills to successfully face the challenges posed by the integral personal development for a diverse range of students, with different needs, styles, interests and conditions, but especially those with learning difficulties in different areas, providing the support they need to adapt to school.

Emerging educational paradigms recommend an inclusive approach, based on a biopsychosocial model that envisages attention to diversity via a comprehensive range of measures aimed at the entire educational community. Therefore, teachers, at different educational stages, need to know what characterizes these students, how to identify their needs and possess the knowledge and tools to intervene at a personal, socio-family and, above all, educational level.

This course not only covers theoretical knowledge, but will also show professionals another way of studying and learning that is more organic, straightforward and efficient. TECH works to keep the student motivated and to create a passion for learning. In addition, we encourage independent thought and the development of critical thinking.
