| Popis: | This study sought to examine the support provided by the Department of Basic Education (DoBE) and the Department of Health (DoH) towards dyslexic learners in Rustenburg public schools. The study was qualitative in nature, and three officials were purposively selected from each department. The interviews were used to get data from the participants. The findings revealed that both the DoBE and the DoH were not providing the necessary support to schools with dyslexic learners. The results further revealed that the existing alliance between the two departments was not effective with regard to addressing the learning problems of dyslexic learners. Therefore, the study recommends that there is a strong need for the two departments to collaborate by sending language practitioners and psychologists to schools to assist teachers and parents in identifying and supporting learners with dyslexia. |
