The Shanghai Children's Medical Center has recently opened a special clinic to help children who have difficulties in spatial(空间的) abilities and mathematics. This clinic may be the first of its kind in China. The clinic is open once a week and aims to help children improve their learning skills.
Last week, six children visited the clinic, and three were found to have serious learning difficulties. Doctors explained that a lack of spatial abilities can make it hard for students to solve math problems, especially in subjects like geometry, physics, and chemistry.
The doctors check each child by asking them questions and giving them tests. The tests cover different points, such as attention, math skills, and spatial abilities. Based on the results, they may find the problem and give suggestions. For example, a boy had difficulty describing an apple or locating cities on a map. The doctors thought he might have a condition called aphantasia(心盲症), which makes it hard for people to picture things in their minds.
To help these children, doctors suggest activities like playing with 3D graphics(图形), playing puzzle games, or running obstacle courses(障碍赛). These activities can improve their spatial awareness and thinking skills over time. Many teachers, such as Lu Huanghua who has worked in Shanghai for 15 years, support these new methods. "Some children have a good learning attitude and high interest in learning, but they can't do well in math. It will be good for such students if we can solve the problem through medical means and work out necessary adjustments," Lu said.
