MLD Moderate Learning Difficulties
The majority of children with MLD are educated in mainstream schools with provision made for additional help and support appropriate to their needs. Schools have the flexibility to decide how best to meet the pupils’ needs, e.g. in a special unit or with one-to-one in-class support.
Children described as having moderate learning difficulties, or global learning/developmental difficulties, find it hard to follow the standard curriculum and may only attain a very low level in standard tests, ofen below level 2 of the National Curriculum at the start of secondary school. There may be other associated special needs such as dyspraxia.
Generally children with MLD may have:
- Difficulty understanding concepts.
- Problems with basic skills in reading, writing and numeracy.
- A lack of logic and poor problem solving skills.
- Limited communication skills.
- Poor long and short-erm memory; difficulty remembering what has been taught.
- Speech and language delay.
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties.
These pupils benefit from very clear instruction and short tasks.
