Hi Kristin! Again, your techniques and suggestions are excellent exmaples of working with students who have special challenges. In reference to your comment about students being embarrassed about a learning disability, I have often, when addressing it privately as do you, mentioned that a learning challenge is not an indicator of intelligence, ability or motivation, rather it is simply a misconnection as to how we process and assimilate information; sort of like a brilliant artist who can intuitively see the big picture and express the deepest meaning on canvas, but may, perhaps, have some challenge in connecting the details.
