Instructing Students With Learning Disabilities
Instructors should always be observing students to detmerine thier comprehension of concepts, but an instructor who is working with a student whho has a learning disability needs to become a real detective. He/she needs to review all the little details of a student's abilities to help him overcome his challenges.
the Key is to find out what has helped them in the past we offer tutors as well as open labs, I think that it takes patients and compassion when dealing with learning disabilities. And alot of one on one I try to meet with students,before or after class, sometimes just a little extra instruction helps

I liked the suggestion made in this module to not overwhelm students with homework assignments or class work. This will definitely turn off a student with a learning disability. Focusing on one concept, vocabulary word, or topic, by using multiple scaffolds, presentation methods, and groups activities is one way of building confidence and understanding.
