Navigating Learning Disabilities

Recognising and Supporting Student Challenges

Understanding the challenges students face in learning is incredibly important, especially when it comes to reading, writing, or mathematics difficulties.

Conditions such as dyslexia, ADHD, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, and dyspraxia, along with anxiety like Generalised Anxiety Disorder (GAD), Panic Disorder, Social Anxiety Disorder, Specific Phobias, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) require careful diagnosis, and recognising these challenges involves a thorough assessment, considering both medical and educational aspects done by psychologists to assist students.

Signs of potential learning disabilities include struggles with reading, writing, math, memory, attention, following instructions, coordination, time management, and organisation.

By recognising and understanding these signs, we can better support students with learning disabilities, creating an environment that empowers them in their education and beyond.

Bridging Potential

Active Minds Bridging & Remedial

Active Minds’ Remedial and Bridging Program caters to students with average or above-average intellectual abilities who may not be thriving in traditional mainstream schooling environments. Within our program, students often exhibit below-average scores, yet demonstrate the potential to excel, particularly in digital platforms.

The challenges faced by students in our remedial and bridging classes typically stem from specific subject areas such as reading, writing, or mathematics, rather than a lack of intellectual capacity. These difficulties are often attributed to various learning challenges, including ADHD, dyslexia, dyscalculia, dyspraxia, visual impairments, mild autism, and language delays.

Our remedial programs are specifically tailored to address and overcome these academic gaps, with the ultimate goal of reintegrating students into mainstream educational settings. We follow the Grade 4 – 12 South African CAPS, British International, United States GED curriculum, offering accommodations, differentiation, and adaptations to meet the diverse needs of our learners.
