Learning Disabilities

Transcript: Common LD's Common Signs PATIENCE! Learning Disabilities Speaks later than most children Pronunciation problems Difficulty rhyming words Restlessness or easily distracted trouble interacting motor skills slow to develop difficulty following directions or routines Sadly, NLD's are Often go undiagnosed. Individuals with this disability are highly verbal, with the deficit being in the nonverbal. Lack of proper social skills and misunderstanding of non-verbal communications are the focus of this disability. Reverses letter sequences avoids reading aloud trouble with word problems slow recall of facts difficulty making friends & socializing trouble understanding body language & facial expressions High school and Adults 5-8 Ideas for Managing An LD Classroom A writing disability in which a person finds it hard to form letters or write within a defined space. Lack fine motor skills but can write on some level. Neurological Disorder Get students' attention: Use storytelling, signals (bells), visual signals, colored markers/chalk, and enthusiasm Focus students' attention: position students so all can see the board, use a flashlight/laser pointer, visuals, do illustrations Maintaining Students' attention: move around the classroom, use manipulatives, pair students up for maximum involvement Fast Facts: Problem with the wiring?? Dyslexia Dyscalculia Use a read along/aloud technique allow students to tape lessons or share notes allow for a table of facts or calculator use the computer for illegible handwriting misspeller's dictionary mnemonic devices large print, typed handouts, or double spaced materials multi-sensory approach (speaking, spelling, & writing) encourage students to draw illustrations But most of all- Children are often as smart or smarter than their peers K-4 Sensory disabilities in which a person has difficulty understanding language, recognizing and interpreting information, despite normal hearing and vision. Dysgraphia Nonverbal LD's What is a Learning Disability? Preschool Can't be cured or fixed As a teacher, what are some ways to cope with a student that has an LD? A mathematical disability in which a person has a difficult time solving arithmetic problems and grasping math concepts. A difference in the way a person's brain is "wired" Slow to learn connection between letters and sounds confuses basic words (run, eat, want) Consistent reading and spelling errors Slow to remember facts & learn new skills trouble learning time poor coordination Input - the brain receives information through either auditory or visual channels Integration - the brain integrates or organizes the information Memory/Storage - the brain retains the information so that it can be used appropriately Output - the information is presented either verbally or visually (writing, visual expression) Nearly 2.9 million students are currently receiving special education services for LD's in the US. 44% of parents waited a year before acknowledging their child might have an LD. More than 27% of children with learning disabilities drop out of high school, compared to 11% of the general student population. 90% of students will read normally if they receive help by the first grade. Ld's often run in families. Attention Disorders often occur at the same time as an LD but the two are not the same. one in seven Americans have some type of learning disability. Auditory and Visual Processing Orders continues to spell incorrectly trouble summarizing & open-ended questions weak memory skills works slowly difficulty adjusting to new settings A language-based disability in which a person has trouble understanding written words. Difficulty with reading fluency, word recognition, spelling, and writing.

Transcript: Learning Disabilities What is a Learning Disability A learning disability (also known as LD) is a hidden handicap. Learning disabilities do not leave any visible signs that would invite others to be understanding or offer their support to the person who has learning disabilities. LD is a disorder that affects what a person has to say and they are unable to connect different information from different parts of the brain. These symptoms can affect school work and at times the ability to control yourself. What are warning signs for learing disabilities Some warning signs may be that the student is saying the words on the board are fuzzy( not visibly seen), placed out of order, or they cannot put the words together. People get teased everyday just because they have a learning disabilty. Take Kathleen for example. She feels isolated at times both socially and emotionally. One of her friends decided she didnt want to be friends with Kathleen and that was before an exam. Having an anxiety disorder she was already worring about the test. She blacked out and a friend she told thought it was hysterical. Some learning disabilities are reading (dyslexia), writing (dysgraphia), math (dyscalculia), language (communication), and behavior disorders. Some of these affected Max and others around him because they might have to slow down something for him or explain something differently. Most kids with learning disabilities would benefit from a classroom that was multisensory. Multisensory means students with LD would have to heve to hear, feel, and see the task being done. It would be helpful for kids who have LD to have learning broken down into small chunks. Also modeling the activity is helpful. This means it gives the student time to watch the task being done. Lesson Plan for the Class: How to write a short story Introduction paragraph Beginning Middle End Something catchy at the end to get the readers attention Lesson Plan for the LD Student: How to write a short story Write the main idea of the story How the story begins Main action End of the story Also i would make sure they worked on each part indevidually before putting all the parts together. Focus on one part at a time. By: Ashley Lewis Double click to crop it if necessary (cc) photo by Metro Centric on Flickr Budapest San Francisco Results Notes Place your own picture behind this frame!

Transcript: Abbey Hill 21 years old From: Lincoln, NE Dual Elementary & Special Education Major Work Places: Old Chicago Beyourself Boutique Hobbies: Sand Volleyball Family&Friend Time Helping children understand nothing is impossible Learning disabilities are problems that affect the brain's ability to receive, process, analyze, or store information. These problems can make it difficult for a student to learn as quickly as someone who isn't affected by learning disabilities. It is difficult to learn to read when the words don’t stand still. Can you imagine what it is like to read when the words and letters move up and down on the page? Reading is not my favorite school activity. It helps to use my finger or a ruler to keep my place so I can read. How does reading this make you feel? This is what it would be like for a student to read that has a learning disability Experts estimate that 6 to 10 percent of school-aged people in this country have learning disabilities. For people with learning disabilities, reading can be especially difficult, but that does not affect their intelligence. People with learning disabilities have average or above-average intelligence. Which of the following people has/had a learning disabilty? Albert Einstein He was slow in school work and did not have a successful school experience but later became a well-known movie producer and cartoonist. As a child, he could not talk until the age of three. He did not learn to read until he was nine. His teachers considered him to be mentally slow, unsociable, and a dreamer. He failed the entrance examination for college. Ultimately, he developed the Theory of Relativity. She has earned a Tony, an Emmy, an Oscar, and a Grammy. She is an author and a UN Goodwill ambassador. She grew up with deslyexia while teachers brushed off her disabilty as just being slow or even retarded.

Great with students, workers, family, etc. For example: With games like Jeopardy and Family Feud, players can pick practically any answers. The person who is running the game will have to have all of the answers in order to determine if players are correct or not. However, with a game like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the players only have a choice between answers, A, B, C, or D. Therefore, when the player decides their answer, the person running the game clicks it, and the game will tell them whether they are right or wrong.

Transcript: Learning Disabilities What are they? How can I help? What Are They? Learning Disability: A learning disorder evident in both academic and social situations that involves one or more of the processes necessary for the proper use of spoken language or the symbols of communication, and that is characterized by a condition that: a) is not primarily the result of: – impairment of vision; – impairment of hearing; – physical disability; – developmental disability; – primary emotional disturbance; – cultural difference; b) results in a significant discrepancy between academic achievement and assessed intellectual ability, with deficits in one or more of the following: –receptive language (listening, reading); –language processing (thinking, conceptualizing, integrating); –expressive language (talking, spelling, writing); –mathematical computations. How Can I Help? Universal Design for Learning Universal Design for Learning (UDL) was inspired by work in architecture on the planning of buildings with a view to accessibility for people with physical disabilities (Turnbull et al., 2002). Architects observed that the added improvements facilitated access for all users, not just people with physical disabilities. An access ramp, for instance, provides a person using a wheelchair with easier access to a building, but it also makes it easier for a parent with a child’s stroller, a traveller with a baggage trolley, or someone using a walker. (Education for All) Broad Learning Principles • Equitable use • Appropriately designed space • Flexibility • Simplicity • Safety • Different modes of perception Differentiated Instruction Curriculum tells teachers what to teach, while differentiated instruction tells teachers how to teach it to a range of learners by employing a variety of teaching approaches. Focused Structure for Instruction • Differentiated content • Differentiated process • Differentiated product Assistive Technology = Access Assistive technology is any technology that allows one to increase, maintain, or improve the functional capabilities of an individual with special learning needs (Edyburn, 2000). Its applica- tions and adaptations can help open doors to previously inaccessible learning opportunities for many children with special needs (Judge, 2001).

Transcript: "A disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in an imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations. The term includes such conditions as perceptual disabilities, brain injury, minimal brain dysfunction, dyslexia and developmental aphasia. The term does not include children who have learning problems that are primarily the result of visual, hearing or motor abilities, of mental retardation, of emotional disturbance, or of environmental, cultural or economic disadvantage."

Learning Disabilities

Transcript: Activity What is a Learning Disability? disorder that affects people’s ability to either interpret what they see and hear or to link information from different parts of the brain. A learning disability is a neurological disorder. A Learning Disability is not... * a health problem * a physical disability * a visual or hearing problem * a behavioural problem * a mental or emotional problem * low intelligence * autism * a cognitive disability Types of Learning Disabilites The five main types: 1) Dyslexia : Dyslexia is a specific learning disability that is neurological in origin. It is characterized by difficulties with accurate and/or fluent word recognition, and by poor spelling and decoding abilities. 2) Dyscalculia: Dyscalculia includes a wide range of math difficulty. Dyscalculia involves inability to understand the meaning of numbers their quantities. 3. Dysgraphia: Dysgraphia is a neurological disorder similar to dyslexia in which a person has difficulty with spelling, poor handwriting , and expressing thoughts in writing. People who suffer from dysgraphia often have trouble-putting things in sequence. Studies show it is a perceptual problem in which a person may reverse letters and numbers, write words backwards and write letters out of order. 4. Auditory and Visual Processing Disorders: Visual and auditory processing are the processes of recognizing and interpreting information taken in through the senses of sight and sound. 5) Non-verbal Learning Disabilities: •Motor (lack of coordination, severe balance problems, and difficulties with graphomotor skills). •Visual-spatial-organizational (lack of image, poor visual recall, faulty spatial perceptions, difficulties with executive function* and problems with spatial relations). •Social (lack of ability to comprehend nonverbal communication, difficulties adjusting to transitions and novel situations, and deficits in social judgment and social interaction). •Sensory (sensitivity in any of the sensory modes: visual, auditory, tactile, taste) Implications for Teaching/ Teaching Strategies Using Literature to teach Social Skills: This comes naturally to a lot of us Use literature that relates to social skills that are lacking Use quality books Allow children chance to practice skills through role play - teachers need to look at teaching math like teaching a second language. Math vocabulary needs to be taught, and teachers should avoid interchangably using words such as "add" "plus" and "combine" that all have the same meaning, this may confuse students. - When educating students about their disability, teachers need to understand that often these students have difficulty with comprehension and therefore need to use language that is appropriate to the student's level in order for them to understand their LD. - Teachers can't ignore addressing a student's diability, students may often feel "dumb" or "stupid" because they don't understand their disability. Keep instructions brief and as uncomplicated as possible. • Allow the student to tape-record lectures. • Clearly define course requirements, the dates of exams, and when assignments are due; provide advance notice of any changes. • Provide handouts and visual aids. • When appropriate, team a reader with a non-reading student during in-class assignments. • Use more than one way to demonstrate or explain information. • Have copies of the syllabus ready three to five weeks prior to the beginning of classes so textbooks are available for taping. • When possible, break information into small steps when teaching many new tasks in one lesson (state objectives, review previous lesson, summarize periodically). • Allow time for clarification of directions and essential information. • Provide study guides or review sheets for exams. • Provide alternative ways for the students to do tasks, such as dictations or oral presentations. • Provide assistance with proofreading written work. • Stress organization and ideas rather than mechanics when grading in-class writing assignments. • Allow the use of spell-check and grammar- assistive devices. • When in doubt about how to assist the student, ask him or her. • Allow the student the same anonymity as other students (i.e., avoid pointing out the student or the alternative arrangements to the rest of the class). Cue Cards!! Cue cards provide indepence in students and 'combat' learned helplessness. Easy and cheap, allows students to complete tasks on their own and succeed. Keep them short and sweet! Use pictures when appropriate Don't use cue cards until after content has been taught and practiced and student is still struggling. Community Resources: 1.
