A rehabilitation approach for children with learning disabilities who have difficulty reading and writing: A case study

Abstract

The case was a third-grade elementary school student with difficulty reading and writing, especially Kanji. Rehabilitation prioritized the environmental improvement approach utilizing Information and Communication Technology (ICT) which resulted in less refusal to write. Using an adaptive approach tailored to the cognitive characteristics of this case, she learned kanji writing skills. In addition, with two years of continuous support, she became able to summarize her own characteristics and the support she wanted by inputting Roman characters using a personal computer. However, no concrete cooperation was reached on the school side, and there remained a problem in cooperation between medical care and education.
