  • see, hear, and understand things differently
  • The most common types of learning disabilities involve problems with reading, writing, math, reasoning, listening, and speaking.
  • They just need to be taught in ways that are tailored to their unique learning styles
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • The time for concern is when there is a consistent unevenness in your child’s ability to master certain skills.
  • Preschool signs and symptoms of learning disabilities Problems pronouncing words Trouble finding the right word Difficulty rhyming Trouble learning the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes, days of the week Difficulty following directions or learning routines Difficulty controlling crayons, pencils, and scissors or coloring within the lines Trouble with buttons, zippers, snaps, learning to tie shoes
  • Early detection of developmental differences may be an early signal of a learning disability and problems that are spotted early can be easier to correct.
  • Problems with reading, writing, and math Learning disabilities are often grouped by school-area skill set.
  • in reading (dyslexia)
  • difficulty understanding the relationship between sounds, letters and words.
  • Signs of reading difficulty include problems with: letter and word recognition understanding words and ideas reading speed and fluency general vocabulary skills
  • in math (dyscalculia)
  • Learning disabilities in math vary greatly depending on the child’s other strengths and weaknesses. A child’s ability to do math will be affected differently by a language learning disability, or a visual disorder or a difficulty with sequencing, memory or organization.
  • memorization and organization of numbers
  • math learning disorders might also have trouble with counting principles (such as counting by 2s or counting by 5s) or have difficulty telling time.
  • ADHD – Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), while not considered a learning disability, can certainly disrupt learning. Children with ADHD often have problems sitting still, staying focused, following instructions, staying organized, and completing homework.
  • Neuroplasticity refers to the brain’s natural, lifelong ability to change
  • different sounds in a word, there are new computer-based learning programs that slow down the sounds so that children can understand them and gradually increase their speed of comprehension.

  • types of learning disabilities;
  • poken language—listening and speaking. Written language—reading, writing, and spelling. Arithmetic—calculation and mathematical concepts. Reasoning—organization and integration of ideas and thoughts.
  • Auditory perception and processing—the student may have difficulty processing information communicated through lectures or class discussions. He or she may have difficulty distinguishing subtle differences in sound or knowing which sounds to attend to.
  • ...5 more annotations...
  • Abstract reasoning—the student may have difficulty understanding the context of subjects such as philosophy and logic, which require high level reasoning skills. Memory (long—term, short-term)-the student may have difficulty with the storing or recalling of information during short or long time periods.
  • Use captioned videos and know how to turn on the captioning feature. Although captioned videos are typically used for students who are deaf, they also help some students with learning disabilities and those for whom English is a second language, by ensuring content is presented visually and audibly. Give all students an opportunity to view a video multiple times (e.g., by making it available in a library or learning center, or on a website).
  • As the number of individuals being diagnosed with learning disabilities has increased, so have the understanding and utilization of academic and technological strategies
  • Spoken and written language—the student may have difficulty with spelling (e.g., mixing up letters) or with speaking (e.g., reversing words or phrases).
  • Design distance learning courses with accessibility in mind. For example, avoid real-time chat sessions, because not all students can type quickly or accurately enough to fully participate.

If your child is an auditory learner, he or she: Learns best by listening Does well in lecture-based learning environments and on oral reports and tests Benefits from classroom discussions, spoken directions, study groups May love music, languages, and being on stage Is your child a kinesthetic learner? If your child is a kinesthetic learner, he or she: Learns best by doing and moving Does well when he or she can move, touch, explore, and create in order to learn Benefits from hands-on activities, lab classes, props, skits, and field trips May love sports, drama, dance, martial arts, and arts and crafts

  • Overcoming obstacles to effective differentiation
  • Many of the obstacles to implementing differentiated instruction can be overcome with the effective use of technology. Teachers who feel ill-prepared to address the diverse needs of their students, for example, have ready access to more options than ever before as a result of the wide range of software and hardware tools available. Technology can equip teachers to address students’ needs in an almost limitless number of ways, through content input, learning activities, and opportunities to demonstrate comprehension. And because many students come to the learning environment with a predisposition for using it seamlessly, technology can become an intermediary that bridges the relationship between teacher and student,

  • Teachers act more as facilitators, which allows for more individual attention to students who need attention and might otherwise behave inappropriately as a result.13
  • Before making the decision to use a particular technology for a particular lesson, teachers should first make decisions about the learning goals, activities, and assessments that will shape the learning experience. During the process of making these decisions, teachers can more easily envision opportunities to integrate one or more technologies.
  • Digital textbooks, both online and CD-based, offer options for accessing the same content at different levels of complexity. The digital format offers an advantage over traditional textbooks because digital publications can incorporate time-based and interactive media directly within the text.
  • Successful technology integration, however, relies on intelligent planning. Teachers must understand those variables they cannot control — students’ readiness, interest, and learning profile. Planning should begin by acknowledging those variables and understanding the learning goals. The selection of technology follows as a natural result, as teachers select appropriate tools for manipulating those variables they can control — content, process, product, and environment. Differentiated instruction designed with these principles in mind ensures classrooms that are rich centers of learning for all students.

  • Assistive technology in K-12 classrooms, by definition, is designed to "improve the functional capabilities of a child with a disability." While the word "technology" automatically conjures up images of cutting-edge electronics, some assistive technology is possible with just simple accommodations. Whether high-tech or simple in design, assistive technology has the ability to transform the learning experiences for the children who benefit.
