learning disabilities
students with learning disabilities in my opinion arent disabled at all. there mind is wired for a particular format of learning. the educational system saddly limits its teaching method to the majority or the learners in class. students with learning disablities tend to accell further in hand on technical skills rather than reading comprehention, and listening skills.
Ditto, I find the learning disabiity students thrive in group settings where they can play off the other students' strengths and focus.
It's the individual portion where I don't know what to do with them...my campus has zero support systems in place for students with learning disabilities :(
Hi John!
When I've intergrated challenged students throughout the classroom, I find they are very proud to be recognized for their potential. From there, they just seem to blossom!
Good job!

I've had success placing students with learning disabilities into work-groups with other students from the class. The students have to work together to achieve a passing grade for a project.
Students have a better appreciation for each other when they are required to work together.
I agree. I have a student in a couple of my classes that has a learning disability and the other students never want that student to answer any questions or take-part in class room activities. On the flip side this student can be very disruptive as well. Constant talking etc. Do you have any suggestions for me here?
