How to accommodate for someone in your classroom. I would be very interested in learning about the different apps.

Modifications and accommodations help the individual with learning. Each individual also needs to be their own advocate as they get older. Most employers do not make accommodations or modifications, 

I did not realize how many different learning abilities there is. Being unable to just have problems with letters or just numbers.

I have learned the process of teaching someone to read and what their brain must do in order to do this. I was surprised that the average reading level is 8th grade and newspapers are written on an average 9th grade reading level,

I learned the critical difference between accommodations and modifications and the importance of maintaining course integrity while supporting students with learning disabilities. I gained insight into how students with dyslexia and other processing challenges experience reading, questioning, and class participation differently. I will apply this knowledge by using clear examples, flexible engagement strategies, allowing processing time, and collaborating with disability services to implement reasonable accommodations that help students demonstrate learning without lowering academic standards. 
 
 
 

I learned that learning disabilities are lifelong and often hidden, affecting not only academic performance but also confidence, employment, and daily life skills. I better understand the importance of self-advocacy, early registration, and appropriate accommodations in postsecondary education. I will apply this knowledge by creating an inclusive learning environment, encouraging open communication, maintaining academic rigor, and supporting accommodations that help students demonstrate their true abilities without compromising course objectives.  

I learned that learning disabilities are neurologically based, lifelong, and often hidden, making identification challenging. I also learned how varied they are and how frequently they coexist with conditions like ADHD. I will apply this knowledge by being more intentional in offering flexible instruction, accommodations, and multiple ways for students to demonstrate learning, while recognizing and valuing their strengths, especially creativity and problem-solving skills. 
 
 

This module clarified how reading develops through distinct alphabetic phases and why learners with disabilities need targeted support at each stage. I will apply this by identifying students’ reading phases, using explicit phonics and chunking strategies, and selecting materials matched to realistic reading levels rather than assumptions about motivation or ability and long-term academic success. 

As a Gen Z learner myself I find this module on instructional strategies incredibly spot-on. We are often labeled as distracted, but I think it’s more that we are highly selective if a lesson doesn't feel authentic or relevant to the real world, it’s hard to stay engaged.

One of my biggest takeaways from this module is that technology shouldn't be a one-size-fits-all requirement, but rather a flexible tool
