Who is the remedial education expert?
A remedial education expert is a professional who intervenes in the case of children or teenagers experiencing learning difficulties or disabilities. Their practice is based on solid research data in areas such as learning (didactique), remedial learning (orthodidactique), education (pedagogie) and cognitive sciences.
A remedial education assessment aims at determining the cognitive profile of a person in regards to the necessary skills required for reading, writing and solving mathematical problems. Next, the expert makes suggestions to the student and their parents as well as to other stakeholders at school about necessary measures to be made to the child's environment matching their abilities and specific needs. This helps children smoothly adapt to their learning environment and fosters a positive and constructive learning process.
The remedial education expert's intervention aims at preventing or re-educating learning disabilities and enables the child or teenager to devise more efficient strategies for reading, writing, and mathematics. Finally, the expert handles coordination between parents and involved school caregivers in order to ensure that the student's knowledge is well transferred in the classroom.
