Ididn't realize that LD is actually quite common and LD is  found throughout the work force: entry level positions to CEOs.

This section included many helpful tips for communication.  It helped me to think about things differently such as not moving a door out of someone's hand as they could be using it for stability.  I also appreciated references to words to use and words to avoid to maintain sensitivity.

These are all very practical, reasonable strategies for working with people that have physical, hearing and visual impairments.  I was very surprised to learn that Parkinson's is not a traumatic or acquired brain injury.

Nadia Sater

I learned some techniques for working with hearing impaired like tapping their shoulder!

Andrea Hollingshed

I learned what the term ABD means.  It is a brain injury that is consided external, it occured after birth.  

i was impressed with the list of tecniques readily available to implement when dealing with the physically impaired, hearing and visually impaired etc.

I am going to use some of the techniques the text suggests when working with students who have hearing impairments...tapping on the shoulder lightly is a good technique.

I will pay more attention to my communication methods when talking to those who are deaf or have hearing impariments (such as annuciating, but not yelling, and using good eye contact).  I will also like to look into the JAWS reader program for students.

I intend to be more conscious about the techniques provided when working with or in the presence of a person with a speech impairment or physical disability. Also, I found it interesting how a brain injury is classified. It is interesting to me that Alzheimers and Parkinson's are not considered traumatic or acquired brain injury.
