Take time to learn how students prefer to learn. Paying special attention to how I interact and speak with students will help with effective communication and prevent barriers to learning. 

I agree that holistic approach allows students to gain a better understanding but often can be difficult to assess compared to standardized testing. Providing diverse learning methods ensures an inclusive and supportive learning environment. 

Treat students with dignity, avoiding stereotypes and creating a safe learning environment for all students. 

There are many ways of help for students with disabilities

With every type of disability, accomodations must be made that address what they are learning, why they are learning it and how they learn it. The method should not compromise the safety of the class.

Psychological disorders can be challenging to work with. Those with Bipolor disorder have a shift in moods ranging from depressive moods to normal and high moods. The student with OCD will have recurrent thoughts, impulses or behaviors that make learning and functioning in the classroom challenging. ODD is a disorder that involves hostile, negative or defiant behaviors over a period of 6 months.

Some of the learning disabilities include dyslexia (difficulty processing the letters on a page or understanding information presented), dyscalculia (difficulty calculating math problems), dysgraphia (difficulty puting their thoughts to text), auditory processing (difficulty processing what is heard), and ADHD (inability to focus their attention, control impulses, and regulate their behavior). One other disability is referred to as the non-verbal disability. This type of learning difficulty refers to the person who has difficulty relating their past experiences to present actions. For each student, teaching methods need to vary, to meet these needs.

Each student who encounters a disability will need special accomodations. The accomodations vary depending on the individual.

There are visable disabilities and disabilities that are not so evident. Regardless of the type of disability, students must be given equal opportunities in employment, housing and education.

Students with disabilities need to advocate for theirselves
