FRESC seeks help in identifying slow learners

Chairperson of Foundation for Rehabilitation & Education of Special Children (FRESC) Ashba Kamran has stressed the parents and teachers to help the organisation in identifying slow learners for their proper education and training. Inattentiveness, distractibility and learning disorders interfere with academic progress despite the presence of a normal IQ.
Even if the child did not have special learning difficulties, he would have harder time learning than his intellectual peers would, she said. To learn, she said, a child must tolerate frustration, as some subjects are hard to understand and could not be mastered without stick-to-itiveness. In addition, a child must pay attention to learn, as intelligence is not enough.
