All students have their own way of learning. Many students, if not all, will face learning challenges and difficulties along the way. Rather than adhering to standardized methods, it's important to be able to accommodate students' needs and utilize variety in teaching

I learned that the way students communicate and utilize language can reflect their culture. Understanding a student's way of communicating can help reach and meet students' learning needs.

Knowing the difference between culture and race is important and allows an individual to treat others with care and respect.

This has solidified that every student has a different background and method of learning, and being a considerate teacher means realizing this and accommodating to each student's needs

I have learned that accommodations in post secondary education are not meant to disrupt or change the course or program objectives due to the students elective career needs. I6 is best to  for the student who may need accommodation to register with the institution's accommodations office to enable support from the instructor.  The instructor can meet with the learner to see what strategies would best suit the student without changing any requirements.

Strategies that could be used is giving the student more time, use of guided notes, and apps for time management, organizing guided notes, etc.

I have learned a lot. I have learned the differences between learning disabilities and Disorders. Some disorders are associated with learning disabilities, but are not learning disabilities.

As an educators we should be observant as to the disabilities and disorders to work with the learner.

I found the idea of cueing our learner disability students as being very helpful. We do lot of reading out loud in the course and I have students that have informed me in advance that they don't like reading in front of other people because they may can't pronounce the words correctly. So, this gave me an idea going forward to keep my learning disability students engaged and feeling included in participation activities. 

I've found that it is the hardest thing to tell a student with a learning disability that they can't be successful in certain fields of the healthcare profession. A student that can't read or understand how to calculate numbers can be safety risk as a nurse in a hospital or healthcare setting. It is more acceptable that a person can perform a lesser job in the healthcare field more in line with their level of knowledge or learning potential. 

I was amazed to know that there is around 60% of people with undetected or an undiagnosed learning disability. It is important to include students in their learning plans in order to formulate a plan that works for them and allows the appropriate accommodations to support them. 

Teaching students with learning disabilities can be a challenge and requires a special level of understanding and patience. It is common to group all students with a learning disability in the same category, but the truth is: those students have their own individual strengths and weaknesses in learning new material.  By utilizing different teaching strategies and taking time to understand the learning styles of these students, they are more likely to be motivated and successful in their learning.
