Teaching Student With Disorders.

   

 Years ago, students with learning disabilities and other disorders were separated from students without them. That separate environment was formatted specially to meet their needs and ran by a disorder specialists and teachers with experience in that field. This separate environment was great for the student’s development in the opinion of many parents. However, many parents also thought the separate environment was a hindrance to the child's education and social development skills. Since some schools allow a mix of students in classrooms, it is important to for educators to be familiar with the various disabilities, symptoms, treatment and the best method to meet those students’ educational needs without singling them out from their peers. A few of the disabilities and disorders seen in children are: speech impediments, language impairments, autism, ADD, ADHD, loss of hearing, visual impairments, dyslexia, and behavioral disorder. The best thing to keep in mind when teaching students with disorders and disabilities is the overall benefit of the student, remaining patient and creating a comfortable, open and effective for the entire class. Below are links to symptoms, tips and teaching strategies for common student disabilities.
