Students with Learning Disabilities
I have been fortunate over the past several years to have only one or two students that were identified as having some sort of learning disability.
Hello William Glose,
I could only assume the reason is because many of these students do not make it to higher education programs. I have several students with dyslexia. They need more time with the books. However, many of these students are in higher education because they learned methods to overcome their disabilities. I have to thinks about this when I give reading assignments. Smaller concise reading material helps the students with disabilities, non-English language students and working students. Homework is gone over before the tests and turned in at the end of the week after the test.
Many of the text books have shorter chapters then the text books when I went to school. More direct information appears to help both the language problems and disabilities. I see the advantages of nugget learning modules. That is Similar to these modules.
Considering one in seven people have a learning disability I would have to assume that possibly the key here is identified as having a learning disability. So then my question to you is how where these few identified did they bring it up to you or were you able to help identify them during the class and then offer help.
