From physical to mental impairments, we must learn how to effectively reach these students, by being aware of how the disability affects them in the classroom and creating measures to help them in their studies.
As a disabled instructor, it is important to me that anyone with a disability is considered the equal of all able bodied persons.
I learned a little more about the ADD and ADHD. The information in the session allowed my mind to go to times I have been around a individual with ADHD and ADD and I can see the bigger problem. I am thankful I am to tell the difference now that I have read this.
