Post what you've learned about this topic and how you intend to apply it. Feel free to post questions and comments too.
There are numerous apps available to accommodate students with learning disabilities. Students will likely be aware of these apps and how to use them when they come to your class.
Students with learning disabilities have resources available to assist them in meeting success goals in college. They must self-advocate with the institution because personalized learning plans are not available in college.
There are lots of resources available to help with accommodations that will ensure that students with learning disabilities stay engaged.
Effective strategies for students with learning disabilities include structured instruction, multi-sensory learning, scaffolding, technology support, and positive reinforcement. These approaches help students access content, build skills, and achieve success.
Didn't know there were apps for these issues. Glad to see technology is there to help.
Provide students with learning disabilities with previous projects, ask questions with multiple answers, and use available apps. These are some things I can do to help my students with learning disabilities.
This module had some great tips for working with your students that have learning disabilities. Communication is key and I like the idea of having cues between you and your students.
This module helped me understand how important it is to provide the right accommodations and modifications for students with learning disabilities so they can truly show what they know. I learned that these supports don’t change the standards—they remove barriers so students can focus on learning instead of struggling with how to access the material.
There are many different accommodations that can be made to assist the learning of students with disabilities. Instructors need to learn as much as they can about the different disabilities and what types of accommodations can be made for students that will not disrupt the flow of class nor compromise the integrity of the content
I like the idea of setting up a cue with a student to let them know you are going to call on them. This allows them to feel included and engaged with the content like all the others in the class.
I learned that the rise of personal electronic devices and educational technology has made learning more flexible and accessible, allowing students to learn in almost any setting. High school now offer a variety of course formats (online, hybrid, in-person, etc.), which helps students with learning disabilities find options that match their learning preferences. Most students with learning disabilities entering college are already familiar with learning apps from high school, and they know how to use them effectively.
Amazing resources are available for help students have improved experiences.
Guided notes and apps are useful accomodations for students with learning differences. Also, I did not realize that providing questions with multiple answers at first would help lead a student with disabilities to find the answer to a specific question.
Great information about the different technologies to help students with disabilities.
Glad to see there are apps to support these students.
They keep driving it home about not changing the integrity of the course content, assignments, tasks. My behavioral style would go overboard on accommodations and this is a good reminder that it's not setting the student up for success in the real world by compromising the integrity of their experience.
Happy to learn that there are several apps that are available to assist my students that need accommodations.
Did not know that there were no IEPs in post-secondary setting. Instructors and apps can help allow students to learn more effectively and in a timely manner
Technology can be a useful tool to aid in learning disabilities.
