Learning difficulties

At the Royal Far West School, we try to support families and communities to make the right educational choices for children.

Children with learning difficulties struggle in many areas such as reading, writing, comprehension, and numeracy.  These children may also have behavioural difficulties, autism or well-being issues that make school life a real challenge for them, their families and teachers. 

The Learning Difficulties resource tab offers teachers and parents our pick of websites, teaching resources and research to support your child or pupil.

Websites

The Australian federation of SPELD Associations.

A good source of Australian Government curriculum policies, reviews and parent guides. 

MultiLit is an evidence based literacy program that we at the Royal Far West recommend. It is informed by ongoing research into literacy.

What really works

What Really Works

This is the companion website for the second edition of What Really Works in Special and Inclusive Education: Using Evidence-based Teaching Strategies..

This is a good resource that offers video clips, ideas and evidence based research to support all teachers with children who require additional support.

LDC is a coalition of individuals and parent support groups which provides support and information about children (5-18yrs) with learning difficulties and related conditions.

Although Kids Matter is primarily a well being and mental health website  There are many resources for schools here to improve mental health and therefore support learning difficulties.
