Study skills help is provided to support students with any of the following.
☼ Marked inefficiency in the working or short-term memory system which may result in, for example, problems with reading comprehension and written composition.
☼ Phonological processing difficulties (difficulty linking sound and symbol), which affects the acquisition of fluent reading and spelling skills.
☼ Difficulties with motor skills or coordination which might affect tasks which involve simultaneous use of several skills.
☼ Problems with visual processing (or 'visual stress'), which can affect reading (for example, causing the print to appear distorted or the reader to lose his or her place frequently) and handwriting (for example, losing track of place when copying).
☼ Reading problems, which may include slow reading speed, difficulty extracting sense from written material without substantial re-reading, inaccurate reading, omission of words.
☼ Writing problems, which may include poor handwriting and slow writing speed, omission of words, spelling problems, difficulties categorising information and sequencing ideas.
☼ Difficulties with mathematical skills and concepts, such as with abstract concepts of time and direction, following sequential instructions, sequencing events, ability to acquire arithmetical/mathematical skills.
☼ Lack of structure in oral presentations, seminars and discussion, and difficulties with word retrieval.
☼ Short attention span and a high level of distractibility.
☼ Poor organization, making time management very difficult.
