The Future of Learning Support

Learning disorders are among the most overlooked phenomena in child and adolescent development-and at the same time among the most misunderstood. Although modern neuroscience psychology and education have long shown that reading writing and math difficulties are expressions of neurocognitive diversity myths persist in schools families and society. Those affected not only experience learning barriers but often also fear shame and feelings of inadequacy.This book dispels old ideas and presents a comprehensive internationally compatible understanding of learning disorders. It combines current research on genetics epigenetics and brain development with findings from education learning therapy and modern technology. In doing so it shows how learning disorders arise how they are diagnosed and-above all-how those affected can be effectively supported.The focus is on the entire system: on schools and education policy on family dynamics on therapeutic concepts and on new opportunities offered by digitalization and AI. Instead of focusing on deficits the book opens up space for a resource-oriented understanding that takes human development in all its diversity seriously.Bremen University Press has published over 5500 specialist books in various languages since 2005.November 2025
