Demonstration Techniques Simulating Four Learning Disabilities

Abstract

For many individuals it is very difficult to understand how a child with a learning impairment may perceive his or her world. Four demonstration techniques, simulating receptive difficulties in the areas of visual, auditory and tactile discrimination and impairments in problem-solving and concept formation, have been developed and are described. These techniques have been successfully used in various university courses, as well as in workshops and inservice training sessions with students, teachers and parents.
