Learning and thinking is something we do every day in school and informally in our daily lives. Learning brings about changes that are either dramatic or subtle in the way we approach tasks and living. Learning is essential to our survival.
However, some children for reasons either known or unknown find learning extremely difficult. Sometimes, when remedial strategies and interventions fail, a deeper look at the child's cognitive processes is in order.
The cognitive processes include:
- Attention and Concentration
- Short and Long-Term Memory
- Retrieval of Information
- Language Development
- Sequencing
- Organization
- Processing Speed and Accuracy of Information
