Abstract:
Every person (also the learner) has a need to fulfill his full potential. To be successful in fulfilling one's potential, the learner needs the accompaniment of an adult, as no person can reach selfactualisation without this accompaniment. The way in which the adult (parent) accompanies the learner, is of utmost importance. If the parent commits an educational error by not putting the educational essences into practice, it can lead to intrinsic barriers to learning, which manifests as learning problems, or specific educational needs, in a learner.

Abstract:
Stroke contributes significantly to the incidence of motor and cognitive impairments which in turn impact motor learning abilities. Upper limb (UL) motor recovery can be attributed to plasticity mechanisms which are thought to be engaged by rehabilitation interventions focussing on motor learning principles. Factors identified to optimize post-stroke motor recovery and learning include practice intensity, variable- and task-specific practice and motivation, environment of task-practice and provision of feedback.
