Access to adequate and quality information on learning difficulties serves as a critical tool for empowering parents of children with learning difficulties to understand their children's learning problems and fully support their education.
Many parents of children with learning difficulties however, lack information and knowledge about their children's learning problems. These parents feel confused and disturbed when they realise that their children cannot perform well and learn like their mates in school. SAP is bridging this information gap.
We are mapping the information needs of parents and caregivers of children with learning difficulties. This is being done through individual interviews.
"I'm willing to get training and more information on learning difficulties so that I can help my child," one parent said during an interview.
The assessment of parents' information needs will help SAP to:
- Know the parents' level of knowledge and understanding of their children's learning difficulties;
- Know the support parents currently can provide to their children to be able to learn, and the capacity they need to do more;
- Customise information and align training programmes that will meet the learning needs of parents' children; and
- Know the preferred information delivery mechanisms (face-to-face education, written materials or audiovisual materials) of parents, as well as the preferred language.
