Abstract: | |||||
The early identification of children with learning difficulties
is examined critically. It is concluded that the status of this
process is in doubt both at a conceptual level, and in terms of the
research evidence. The various instruments used are shown to be of
varying usefulness, but even the better ones are open to criticism.
The argument presented is that this process needs to be
interactionist in its widest sense. That is, it is important to
consider not simply the child's own abilities, but the external effects,
including social factors. Also, the philosophy of the educational
institution is considered important as the aims therein, implicit and
explicit, will affect not only how children are taught but how learning
difficulties are conceptualised.
