ABSTRACT
The fascinating process of learning does not occur only in crowded classrooms or sterile experimental or laboratory conditions. It is maintained throughout everyday life in more or less conducive social conditions by people who feel and think, and who may bring to the learning process less than fluent skills, and who may have preferences in the way the materials to be learned are presented. Learning is often a less than efficient skill which must be delivered through working memory. Specific learning difficulties are defined as organizing or learning difficulties affecting hand skills and working memory skills, causing significant limitations in the development of aspects of some or all of speech, reading, spelling, writing, numeracy, and behavioural skills in the student.
