My classes are small enough where I feel I can be flexible with individual students on getting my material across (I teach massage). Often, a student will tell me, for instance, that they are "visual" learners. Taking a lot of notes doesn't do them much good. I make it a point then, to make sure they see what I'm doing and never hesitate to repeat demonstrations. I make it clear to them that I don't mind repeatedly working with them one-on-one. This is harder to do when I have larger groups, but It's "do-able" most of the time.
In addition, I've had sightless students and students whose English is poor. A teacher has no choice but to adapt to help these these students be successful.
