Learning and Developmental Disorders is a basic course unit in accordance with the guidelines established for building the European Higher Education Area (EHEA) to train students in the knowledge, understanding and management of the main developmental and learning problems of their future pupils, allowing them to perform a qualified professional work in which diversity and individuality are both contemplated, at the same time.
Other competencies developed through this subject are:
· To provide future teachers with the skills to support the most appropriate educational intervention.
· To provide a set of communication skills and collaboration with students’ family and other teaching teams
· To encourage critical and reflective spirit which will enable them to focus and intervene appropriately in each of the difficulties encountered in their teaching.
Finally, we can say that our students will find in their schools and classrooms, regardless of the cycle, throughout their professional life, some pupils with learning difficulties to varying degrees. Not only must they know what happens to them but also know what and how to work with them.
