- Use words like ..."An in-service workshop
in NLD for teachers will take place during the year as part of continuing teacher
education (with credits for taking
it...)
|
- Run a sentence: "Jimmys teachers
will need to teach him in a systematic step by step approach; they need to describe in
words that work which they expect of him."
|
- Because he has a deficit in non-verbal cues,
he may not pick up on facial expressions or tone of voice; therefore, words directed
to him will be concrete and straight forward.
|
- Because he has the asset of a good rote
memory, the teaching approach will be slow, repetitive, and highly redundant
|
- There will be a lot of role modeling with
verbal descriptions to demonstrate expected work
|
- Because he has a deficit in handwriting and
performing work quickly, quantity of homework will be appropriate and will primarily be
used as a reinforcement for already-learned material.
|
- Because he has a deficit in organizational
skills, a set of duplicate books will be kept at home to eliminate "forgetting."
|
- He will have a "check-off" system
for homework completed, to help him know what he has accomplished and what is expected
daily.
|
- Because "The development of good self
esteem is always at risk - especially for the child with learning disabilities, teachers
will increase verbal rewards and physical rewards for jobs completed and jobs well done,
remembering that it takes many positives to undo one negative." Dr. Brad D. Berman, Developmental and
Behavioral Pediatrics
