Abstract:
The problem of learning difficulties is quite recent (at least in terms of its theorization), but common among children in elementary school. The question for intervention in situations where learning difficulties arise is: who is going to do it? It would be ideal if every school have specialized people employed for this but the reality is different.
The Romanian schools try to include children with learning difficulties in normal classes where these children will be attended by specialists, besides their teachers. They are a challenge now because these methods are relatively new in our country and the specialists that work with these children are not really the right number for the necessities of Romanian education.
This study aims to highlight the attitude of teachers facing such problems and the solutions they try to find in solving them, study based on a research conducted on a total of 60 primary and preschool teachers.Keywords:
Attitude, learning difficulties, solutions.
