The book
A Complete Guide to Identify and Support Barriers to Learning
Thirty chapters. One consistent, practical structure. Eight years of research, reviewed by specialists, remedial teachers and parents across the world.
What this book does
The most common barriers in mainstream schools, made practical.
Each chapter addresses one learning challenge or aspect of learning. It explains the topic clearly, describes possible causes and symptoms, then lists intervention strategies that are easy to follow—so schools do not have to spend large amounts of money on equipment or specialists to support their learners.
Research you can trust
Eight years of research, with each chapter reviewed by specialists and organisations worldwide who focus on that specific barrier.
Written for real people
For teachers first—but equally useful to parents of young children or children who face barriers to learning.
Affordable by design
Strategies rely on what classrooms and homes already have, not on expensive equipment or specialist services.
A consistent chapter structure
Every chapter follows the same three steps.
Once you have read one chapter, you know how to use all thirty. That is what makes it a desk-side reference rather than a textbook.
