Characteristics
(slow
learners)
1. In physical appearance they are no different
from normal children and therefore likely to get admission into schools for
normal children where the curriculum is drawn up to meet the needs of average
children. So they find it extremely difficult to cope with the education imparted
in these schools, unless special provision is made for them and the curriculum
is oriented towards practical and real life activities.
2.
They are capable of
being educated in ordinary schools and even achieving a moderate degree of
success, if they are allowed to proceed at a slower pace and the syllabus is
adapted to suit their abilities.
3.
But, they will not be
able to keep pace with the average children and never be able to learn all the
things we expect normal children to master by the time they leave school.
4.
They will not be able
to go for higher studies despite all the guidance and educational facilities
made available to them.
They have poor memories. Their attention span is short and they
cannot concentrate on one topic for long.
