the need to help peolple lead a productive life and working around the conditions that inhibit their learning abilities without singling them out and making them a productive member of society with a job that they can make a living and be proud of their accomplishments
The importance of accommodations. The need to study and know what a student's IEP says and what a student's 504 Plan accommodates.
This section provided very useful information about how to provide accomidations for students with PTSD. Being in a high school, these students would most likely have an IEP, but at the college level they would not have an IEP, but still some sort of accomidation.
This gave a great insight that PTSD students need accommodations to have effective perfo. It also explains about IEP.
I am already mindful of the possibility of students with PTSD and/or TBI attending my classes because I have a large number of Veterans attending. I didn't know about IEP's or how they could help assess a more friendly learning environment for these individuals. I'm not sure if the VA assists these service members in this way, but now I know enough to ask about it.
