I learned new techniques for working with students with psychiatric disorders. A learning environment that has a lot of order and consistency is beneficial for these students. It is also helpful to remain calm and when addressing a student having an episode. To mitigate episodes student can work on ways to check in with themselves to see if their behavior is changing. 

I learned about Dyscalculia for the first time. The video said an accommodation could be allowing a calculator. I wonder how much that actually helps for a student that mixes up numbers? I know certain online platforms for exams have filters for disabilities that are supposed to make taking a test more equitable.   

Accommodations are not a one size fits all. Students may have the same disability but require different levels of support. Adapt based on what they share and what the ADA says they need support with.

There are many ways to identify disabilities in children. This includes, peaks and valleys in learning, physical differences and behavioral differences. 

Each student has a different "best" learning style. Our goal, as educators, is to present material in a manner that includes a wide variety of different learning styles. 

Each student has a "native" language. Dialects in language contain differences in tone and words used, such as slang. Each student should be permitted resources that enhance their learning in the language of their choice

Culture and race can limit someone's opinion of a person. Just because someone has darker skin, does not mean that they are "black" or "African American'. This limits how students are seen and heard. 

Every student has different life and educational experiences that will influence them, I should not assume students are at the same. 

Student-centered learning that is both visual and hands-on are more likely to retain student attention. Gen z and y should respect the lessons being shared to them. Previous generations should try to share information that is applicable to the goals students set.   

being aware of learning challenges and preferences helps the instructor to change or navigate their teaching style when needed
