This dissertation was initiated to investigate the preprimary teacher's role in
identifying and assisting learning disabled preprimars. The literature section
consists of a study of the normal process of child development and the
phenomenon of learning disability and its manifestation in preprimars. The
philosophy of inclusion and a number of existing programmes for learners with
learning disabilities were examined.
The empirical research assessed the responses of preprimary teachers from the
Eastern Cape to a questionnaire, their experiences in dealing with preprimars
with learning disabilities in a typical preprimary group were analyzed and a
summary of the findings was made. Recommendations have been given to
teachers regarding the identification of learning disabilities in preprimars, the
assistance and support needed to enable the teacher to assist the learning
disabled preprimar and the need for additional training to equip her to do so. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (Orthopedagogics)
