Understanding veterans and how hard it is to ingrate into new studies. Asking for assistance is a challenge for veterans. 

As I teach in post secondary education, I was surprised to see the % of students with a disability.  I am grateful to have a dedicated student services team to help guide us. 

Surprised by the differences between TBI and PTSD regarding falls and males. 

The percentage rates for children is higher exposed is higher than I thought for trauma and how it effects their future. 

Assessments are necessary in order to evaluate what level the student is presently in.

Each student learns differently.

Comment on Sarah McDonald's post:

I agree learning preferences and learning disabilities are different.  It's challenging for a teacher to have both in a classroom when you have 30 students in the class.  

Learning preferences and learning disabilities are different. However, some of the same educational strategies can be used to address both. I plan to present educational content in a variety of ways to promote learning for those with specific learning preferences as well as learning disabilities. 

Everyone's learning styles and different and can be multi-faceted.  Instructors should host varied content delivery styles as well as assessments, to provide a holistic learning experience for their students.  

Language and literacy is not a reflection of a student's ability to learn and be successful.  Bi or multilanguage learners may need to lean on their "mother language" to help associate terms and ideas they are currently learning to help solidify the learning objectives/outcomes.
