Learning disabled (hereafter abbreviated as LD) adolescents have a hard time coping
with the demands of secondary school and often experience frustration and failure.
Educators have received little or no training to provide meaningful support for these
learners. Despite sweeping policy changes LD learners' diverse needs are not being
met in the classroom. Research indicates that LD learners are best served within the
mainstream classroom. In-service training is necessary to help educators equip
themselves with skills to cope with this new role. An assistance programme has been
developed in this study to provide practical teaching and learning interventions, to
help educators support the LD secondary school learner in regular mainstream
classrooms. If LD learners are supported in the classroom they will acquire skills to
become independent learners. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (with specialisation in Guidane and Counselling)
