Summary/Abstract: The school psychologist’s tasks related to learning difficulties are among the most important. When working with a child with learning difficulties, it is useful to follow some basic rules. The child’s and the parent’s consent to the psychological contact should be obtained. It is necessary to use a variety of sources of diagnostic information and to obtain a wide range of support for working with the child. It is just as important for the psychologist to constantly remind themselves that no two children are alike and that there are no two identical problems in school failure. Also, it is essential to precede every psychological action towards the child with a diagnosis. In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the diagnosis and all information about the support provided is understandable for a non-professional. However, the psychologist’s own professional development should not be neglected.
