Remedial Learning

Ans: Remedial education (also known as developmental education, basic skills education, compensatory education, preparatory education, and academic upgrading) is assigned to assist students in order to achieve expected competencies in core academic skills such as literacy and numeracy. Remediation attempts to reduce and/or eliminate specific effects of a disability. The purpose of remediation is to teach the person with disabilities skills for independent and successful functioning.

In school, these skills may be language skills, motor skills, academic skills (reading, writing, computing), social and emotional skills (getting along with others; following instructions, schedules, and other daily routines), self- help skills(eating, dressing, using the toilet without assistance), and/or pre- vocational and vocational skills(career and job skills to prepare secondary students for the world of work).
