Hydrocephalus – Literacy & Thinking Skills For Teachers

Introduction

Children and young adults with hydrocephalus may have difficulty in making associations between different ideas and between the same ideas in different contexts. Pressure from the swollen ventricles (cavities) in the brain can result in speech, vision and motor skills being affected to varying degrees, and short-term memory problems are common. (See SBHI ‘What is Hydrocephalus’).
