Learning Disabilities and Behavioural Problems – Definition, Features, and Aetiology
Instructor
About This Course
This course provides participants with a structured and comprehensive understanding of the relationship between learning difficulties and behavioural problems, highlighting how unresolved academic challenges may contribute to emotional distress and the development of maladaptive behaviours. It emphasizes that behavioural problems in students with learning difficulties are not isolated characteristics, but rather the outcome of a complex interaction between academic, psychological, social, and environmental factors.
The course introduces the core concepts of internalizing and externalizing behaviours, helping participants recognize their different manifestations within educational settings. It also examines the psychological and social consequences of learning difficulties, including frustration, low self-esteem, difficulties in peer interaction, and challenges in emotional regulation, explaining how these factors may interfere with learning and academic integration.
In addition, the course reviews major classification systems of emotional and behavioural disorders within both educational and clinical frameworks. It also presents different theoretical perspectives that explain behaviour, including the behavioural, psychoanalytic, biological, and environmental perspectives. This overview supports a multidimensional understanding of emotional and behavioural difficulties.
The course further emphasizes the importance of early identification, understanding behaviour within its context, and adopting a comprehensive psycho-educational perspective when working with learners with learning difficulties. By the end of the course, participants will have developed a deeper awareness of the manifestations and causes of behavioural problems associated with learning difficulties, as well as the importance of providing integrated support systems to promote adjustment and psychological well-being.
