Teaching ADA students

Being a ADA instructor I realize the problems handicap people have. This program widened my prospecive to other forms of handicap situations. I have dealt with hearing impaired, using signing, wheelchair users. Those that I worked with did not believe they were handicapped. Yes some accomadation were need, but their drive and determination made the teaching easy.

Old fashion home work

Home work or self study is still needed to achieve success. Instructions for processing or repairing require undestanding of the proceedure to accompolish a ask. A student needs to read and learn what manuals, resouce materials, ETC to get a task done. Someone will not be around to interept or direct them in poceedures, they need to be capable of understanding and performing a task.

Keeping students in class and looking forward is difficult, but if the instructor keeps all the students involved in different sections of the course it keeps there interest, plus a hands on activite seem to keep them interested and returning to class the following day.
