I find that in the class I instruct,I am constantly changing up my approach to lecture. With a student that has Asberger's, and another with ADHD, there a re definitely challenges i meet on almost a daily basis. These students do take special considerations and most importantly, must be addressed accordingly. Also being fair to the other students without these suituations.
Sharon,
Disabled students don't always require a little more patience, and the extra help is actually in the form of accommodation, not a kind gesture. But I understand and applaud your sentiment, even if I question the wording!
Dr. Jane Jarrow
I agree, every student is different whether they are disabled or not. Each student needs something a little different than the next. Disabled students require a little move patience and extra help but with those accimmendations they will be just as productive as any student in the class.
Michael,
The key is your recognition that "everyone learns differently." The presence of disability doesn't make it impossible to learn, just different!
Dr. Jane Jarrow
one would be ruff let alone two. I find even teaching students without an actual disability can be trying at times. everyone learns differently therefore I change my approach daily.
Jon,
I can't argue with you. Having multiple students with disabilities in class -- students who have DIFFERENT disability-related needs -- can be a time consuming and sometimes exhausting challenge. Lucky for them, you sound up to it!
