Course Overview

The iStudy Specific Learning Difficulties Level 2 course supports you to develop an understanding of a range of specific learning difficulties and how they can affect individuals in education, work and everyday life. Delivered through distance learning with online workshops via Microsoft Teams, this course is suitable if you want to build awareness of how people with specific learning difficulties can be supported effectively.

During the course, you will explore the characteristics of specific learning difficulties such as ADHD, ADD, dyslexia and dyscalculia. Learning focuses on understanding how these conditions may present differently in children and adults, and how individual experiences and needs can vary. You will also learn about the importance of early identification and the different assessment methods used to diagnose specific learning difficulties.

The course highlights both the potential challenges individuals may face and the strengths and positive attributes they can bring to learning and work environments. Learning also explores practical ways individuals with specific learning difficulties can be supported to access education, training and employment. This flexible online course helps you build confidence, understanding and inclusive awareness.

By the end of the course, you will have a clearer understanding of specific learning difficulties and how supportive approaches can help individuals gain, start and continue with study and work opportunities.
