Introduction to the Program

Education has increasingly embraced the concept of competency, or “knowing how to act in a specific context” 

Intellectual disabilities undoubtedly present a challenge for children of all ages. Tasks as simple as reading, writing, or comprehension—typically acquired throughout development—can become difficult for children who have been inaccurately diagnosed. Worst of all, this may lead to frustration and academic disengagement. 

For this reason, the work of psychologists in this area is especially significant and requires specialized, up-to-date training aligned with the most recent standards in the field. A professional specialized in identifying intellectual disabilities becomes a key ally of the academic system when designing action plans that foster children’s development and help them lead fully normal lives. 

With this Postgraduate certificate from TECH, students will achieve that specialization— all without leaving home and with access to the content from any location and from any device with an internet connection. As such, this program represents a unique opportunity for students to continue advancing alongside the world’s largest online university.

Schools must assume greater responsibility for education in values, the incorporation of emotional intelligence into the teacher–student relationship, and coexistence among diverse individuals (inclusive schooling), in order to offer our children and young people more optimal development during this era of rapid transformation.

Postgraduate Certificate in Intellectual Disability and Learning Difficulties

The task of educating, especially in early childhood, does not consist solely of classroom instruction; it must implicitly include a multidisciplinary and inclusive approach adapted to the diverse needs of students who, due to psychosocial, genetic, or neurological factors, present cognitive deficiencies. In addressing this challenge, psychology plays a significant role. For this reason, at TECH Global University we offer the Postgraduate Certificate in Intellectual Disability and Learning Difficulties, a high-level, fully online program designed to update, strengthen, and expand curricular competencies related to the educational field for psychologists interested in both personal and professional growth. With a duration of 200 hours that you can manage freely according to your schedule, we provide one of the best training opportunities available on the market—both for the specialized nature of its syllabus and for the use of the Relearning methodology. If you are looking for a pathway to optimize students’ intellectual development and open new professional opportunities, this is your moment.

Specialize in learning difficulties and intellectual disabilities

It is generally accepted that individuals with an intelligence quotient below 70 present some form of disability or neurodevelopmental disorder. The severity of such cognitive dysfunction depends on limitations in communicative, social, or academic skills. The challenge in the current educational system is that individualized diagnostic assessment is often overlooked, leading to teaching approaches that are excessively homogeneous. This is where psychology professionals have an essential role, since accurate assessment of a child’s intellect (taking into account multiple variables), along with personalized guidance and support, is highly beneficial. Thanks to our online Postgraduate Certificate, you will be able to work effectively in this context, addressing topics such as diagnostic criteria (DSM-V) and psychological and psychoeducational intervention programs. All of this, without leaving home, supported by high-quality multimedia content and a deeply enriching teaching experience.
