More than 15% of school-age children have learning problems; they experience severe difficulties in learning one or more basic skills or they fail to display general base requirements. Experts who treat these children must be aware of the way in which children learn, what can go wrong and what interventions are evidence-based.
Programme
The programme consists of four substantive courses, covering basic knowledge and clinical skills. In addition, students are trained in the methods and techniques of scientific and applied research, they do an internship, and they write a master’s thesis under the supervision of a researcher.
For an extensive course description, see the e-Prospectus.
