They come from brain diversity affecting the reception and processing of information.<\/p>\n<h2>Parents<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When parents discover, or get informed by teachers, that there is a difficulty in their child\u2019s learning ability, they feel embarrassed or uncomfortable. Some even deny it and ignore it. This is the result of not realizing that learning disabilities are not bad, it is something that may occur. It is necessary for parents to remember that their behavior has the greatest effect on the development of their children.<\/p>\n<h2><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-23490 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-03-216x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-03-216x300.png 216w, https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-03.png 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/>Special Care<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The existence of Special Care in schools is essential. Unfortunately, Greek schools are lagging. However, it seems that this is going to change. The government\u2019s direct plans are 4.500 recruitments in Special Education Needs. These job places are going to be covered by specialized teachers, MSc or PhD titles owners in special educational needs. They will be integrated into the potential of Greek schools in order to normalize the function of classes which involve children with learning disabilities.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Teachers, with appropriate knowledge to support children with special educational needs, are essential. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-23488 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-02-216x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"216\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-02-216x300.png 216w, https:\/\/www.p-consulting.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/072019-magic-sens-02.png 575w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 216px) 100vw, 216px\" \/><\/h3>\n<h2>What is missing?<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But in which way (not specialized) teachers can face up symptoms of learning disabilities? In a conversation we had with primary and secondary teachers in our area, a clear need for their training in symptoms as well as techniques for tracing symptoms was expressed. Typical control and official testing will of course remain to the experts and the relevant committees. But what would improve the homogenization and effective function of a class, would be the knowledge or tracing symptoms.<\/p>\n<h2>MagicSens and Learning disabilities<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">That need is trying to be covered by <a href=\"https:\/\/magicsens.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>MagicSens<\/strong><\/a><strong>.<\/strong> MagicSens is a European project, funded by Erasmus+, which is aiming to enhance teacher\u2019s skills on the specific field.
