Developing Image Reading Skills to Support Visual Learning for Children with Learning Disabilities

Abstract

The training activity is adapted to learn the child with learning difficulties in how to read an image in the right way, which in turn develops his visual learning. Two groups are adopted: ten children with learning difficulties as a control group, and ten others as an experimental group, on which the authors have applied specialized-training activities for learning children with learning difficulties in reading images. A test has been applied to evaluate the visual learning of children who have learning difficulties on both the control and experimental groups. It has been shown that there are statistically significant differences in the favor of the experimental group among the average ranks of the control group scores.
