Firat, Tahsin; Bildiren, Ahmet
Journal of Further and Higher Education, v45 n7 p958-972 2021
The purpose of this study was to identify and describe the strengths and weaknesses of a student with LD from their pre-school period until their last year of university. The participant is a 4th year student in a university Guidance and Psychological Counselling department. This study used multiple qualitative research methods, including a case study and a semi-structured questionnaire comprised of open-ended questions, which was used to collect data on the opinions of the participant regarding his strengths, as well as the difficulties experienced during pre-school, primary school, secondary school, high school, university, and in general. In addition, a TONI-3 test was applied to determine the non-verbal intelligence performance of the participant. The study results explain that the participant has indeed experienced difficulties in reading, writing, arithmetic, short-term memory, and the concept of direction during their pre-school, primary school, high school, and university periods. It was also determined that the participant has been able to advance academically thanks to the strategies he devised by himself.
