Hi Carlos, thank you, these are very practical methods for helping students with special challenges. You mentioned before that an effective way to help students with learning disabilities is to find out what has worked for them in the past and then proceed accordingly. This is a good point since a special needs student may have already been down a similar path and knows what works best. Such students are often comfortable in telling an instructor what works for them as long as it's in confidence and no undue attention is brought to the situation. I think as well, though in general, that we have to take students a little out of their learning comfort zones and have them practice other methods to help prepare them for the workplace. Thanks again for your comments! Jay Hollowell ED106 Facilitator
