Learning Disabilites: Video Analysis

Students with disabilities may require accommodations in order to find success. Some accommodations may include additional time to complete assignments and/or assessments, oral presentation of content or instructions, or allowing the student to type work vs. writing it. Accommodations must be individualized and reasonable based on the needs of the student.

Explain how you can support students with the disability to learn new skills and concepts.

Students with disabilities who require academic accommodations must register with the Centre for Student with Disabilities. Please see the Centre for Students with Disabilities for details.

The individuals shown in the video with multiple disabilities have difficulties communicating in the normal ways, instead they use nonverbal movements or behavior to disseminate information. These unique methods include behaviors, gestures and other means of expressing themselves. Since they are nonverbal, these are the only ways they have to communicate. Furthermore, they must have close bonds with others in order to be understood. This is accomplished by the time consuming process of establishing a relationship between client and caregiver, which provides them with a means to communicate through their own special way.

Although he is studying at the university level, there are few on-campus assistances for those with disabilities – especially non-physical, non-visible disabilities. This has provided an extra challenge for me, as well as an opportunity to educate those in my department about creating accommodations for students with documented difficulties, that may otherwise fail the

In the educational world, there are countless programs, curricula, strategies, manipulates, and resources for teachers to pull from in order to aide in the teaching of concepts and learning of students. Whatever method(s) a school or district has deemed best practice, or adopted as their curriculum, tend to be the instructional practices or resources utilized the most by those teachers. Additionally, teachers will also have preference to teaching styles, resources, and materials they use for their students. While autonomy in any classroom is important to students’ academic growth, one must also be careful to select and implement instructional with great intention and purpose. Consideration to students needs is equally important as the mandate of teaching standards and demonstrating proficiency amongst students. Even when teaching non-disabled students, it can be time consuming and overwhelming to plan lessons so just how much more is involved when planning for students with significant disabilities (SD)? Better yet, what are appropriate instructional strategies to use for students with SD? Regardless of the instructional setting, these are considerations that must be given when teaching students with SD in order to maximize their learning opportunities to learn

Education is not the only area where disabled people feel disadvantaged. Many people with physical disabilities feel disadvantaged at their homes and also at school. Some physical disabilities include paraplegia, quadriplegia, multiple sclerosis, hemiplegia, and cerebral palsy. Paraplegia is paralysis of the legs and lower body, quadriplegia is the paralysis of all arms and legs, and hemiplegia is paralysis of one side of the body. Multiple sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system that can cause the patient to become paralyzed, blind or even have numbness in some of the limbs while cerebral palsy is the loss of motor function (Nordqvist, 2016). The most common trend between these physical disabilities includes the loss of function in one or more parts of the body. Because of this lack of function, people with these disabilities often need to use

You are so correct about the video. We all take for granted the things we are able to do in life. That we need to look at how others deals with their disabilities or their different situations. If we could use his inspiration in our own daily activities we would be greatly appreciative of our own

Education is important for all paralyzed people. Laudan Aron said: “The special education system has given children with disabilities much greater access to public education, established an infrastructure for educating them, helped with the earlier identifica- tion of disabilities.” This implies that the education system for paralyzed people is more and more perfect. Within special education schools, the teachers receive training, and the teachers have many approaches and skill to encourage paralyzed people. Sometimes, paralyzed people are fragile and lack of self-confidence, the teacher need to use special way to encourage them.

Education is the foundation of the world; it is necessary to educate people in order to advance as a society. Unfortunately, not all people have access to education, especially those who have disabilities. As someone who was born with a congenital heart condition, I know the struggles of learning inside and outside the classroom while having a disability. When I was a child, the Make-A-Wish foundation granted my family and I a trip to Orlando to visit Walt Disney World, where we relaxed from the stress of surgeries and rehabilitation. While I am unable to repay them for the memorable experiences, my family volunteered during two spring breaks in order to give back to this organization. I assisted in serving meals and helped organize a Halloween

The use of technology in educating children with special needs has widely grown in the past few decades. Individuals with special needs are unique and all have different areas in which they need assistance. Due to the advancements in assistive technology, computer programs, software, and other technology tools, it has become much easier for people to find useful and easier ways to become educated. Because of this, “technology has changed the way people with disabilities live, work, and learn.” (Winzer,98)

Do you know anyone who suffers from a learning disability? There are several disabilities out there, so chances are you must know someone who battles with the day-to-day hassles. But, are learning disabilities really a hassle? More often than not, this can be considered a misconception. Learning disabilities (LD) affect the way a person “of at least average intelligence receives, stores, and processes information” (NCLD 2001). This neurological disorder prevents children especially from being able to perform well academically. Therefore more time and special programs are fostered to them. Once one is educated about what the disability means, the causes of LD, what programs are available to

Schooling for the disabled requires a special environment—one that only a few teachers have the gift to care for. Instead of looking out for the child’s
