Students with a language-based learning disability bring strengths, and are most commonly connected at school within the subjects that are not heavily laden with reading and writing. Art, PE, music, pre-professional and vocational studies are all areas where students with LD can utilize their strengths and shine.
This class will:
- provide an outline of characteristics that non-core teachers can recognize and formatively assess.
- provide a plethora of ideas and activities to help struggling students flourish in their environment.
- discuss useful accommodations for instruction, multi-step directions, dealing with challenging behaviors, etc. and provide tools to help teachers and students discover the root of the issue.
