Correct Answer - Option 3 : Strauss Lehtinen-Cruickshank Perceptual Motor Programme
Learning disability is a disorder that affects people's ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. It refers to the neurological disorder that causes cognitive impairment.
- It can't be attributed to emotional disturbance or cultural differences because it also presents in children with average or above-average IQ. It makes them struggle in a particular area (reading, writing, maths) where they need remedial educational help.
Sensory-motor system disability is related to the motor skills or actions of the child. Motor skills disorder involves a developmental delay of movement and posture. The remedial programmes, material and guidance available may definitely help the learning disabled.
- For example, if the deficiency and deficits of the suffering children are related to the neural impairments in the sensory-motor system, we can follow remedial programmes like The Strauss Lehtinen Cruickshank Perceptual Motor Programme, Getman's Visuo-Motor Programme etc.
- Similarly, if their deficiencies and deficits are related to their psycho-linguistic ability, these can be rectified through standardized remedial programmes like Witmer's Psycho-Educational, The Pragmatic General Diagnostic Remedial Approaches by Blanco or Morgan etc.
Thus, it is concluded that If the learning disability of a child is related to the Sensory-Motor system then the programme used is Strauss Lehtinen-Cruickshank Perceptual Motor Programme.
