Understanding learning differences
Learning is an inherent part of being human. We all learn, ideally at a pace that matches our needs and in a system capable of adapting to and respecting our differences.
This need gave rise to #AprendoDifference, an initiative of the Project Difference programme that offers resources and videos for families, teachers and young people who learn differently.
Informative videos are designed to help everyone understand learning differences (dyslexia, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and giftedness) so that young people can develop their potential in a positive, inclusive and diverse environment.
