dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this study is to show the association between learning problems and demographic factors, to examine the assessment of learning problems and to describe the profiles of learners with learning problems. Knowledge regarding the above-mentioned could be of assistance in paving the way to examine the relative impact of these variables to predict, assess and treat learning problems. The method used in this study entails a retrospective review of records. This means that previous psychological records were examined. These psychological reports consist of information on psychodiagnoses, intervention procedures and prognoses. In the light of the findings from the present study, it appears that there exists a need in South Africa for a solution-focused approach in the prevention and treatment of learning problems. According to the findings of the present study, learning problems can be caused by various demographic factors. Furthermore, attention is drawn to guide psychologists regarding the assessment of learning problems. A comprehensive test battery is necessary when assessing learning problems, because learning and emotional problems often co-exist. Finally, findings from the present study show variations in learners' profiles. Profiles of learners with learning problems seem to differ in a unique way from one another. Therefore, unique remedial programmes for the treatment of learning problems can be designed accordingly.en_US
