Why Literacy & Numeracy are challenging and what to do in their place
with Peter Imray
An exploration of why learners with PMLD and SLD universally struggle to read, write and understand number and an appeal for schools to stop trying to cure learners of their learning disability. The answer doesn’t lie in doing more of it or breaking the teaching down into smaller steps, but in recognising that the levels of learning disability experienced will not allow fluency in either literacy or numeracy (no matter what programme is put into place) and we need to look at these areas differently. We can facilitate independence, but only if we change our teaching methodology.
