Description

Struggling doesn’t mean failing. For many, learning difficulties aren’t about lack of intelligence—they’re about needing the right support. This course is designed to guide learners through the core knowledge of common learning difficulties such as dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and more. You'll gain a strong understanding of how these challenges affect individuals in different settings and what strategies can be used to offer better support, especially in education and care roles. Everything is delivered online, making it flexible and accessible, without needing to attend in person.

Whether you're working with children, supporting adults, or just want to understand more about learning difficulties, this course offers valuable insights that can make a difference. From understanding early signs to offering supportive approaches in communication, routine, and behaviour, you’ll walk away knowing how to handle real situations with more confidence. It’s about learning how to support—clearly, thoughtfully, and in a way that makes sense. If you're someone who wants to be helpful without making a song and dance about it, this course is a great step forward.
