7. DYSLEXIA

8. • Rule out hearing
and vision issues
• Remediation of
phonemic
awareness

9. • Multi-sensory instruction

10. • Assistive technology like
text-to-speech, spell
check, word
prediction, books on
tape, and Educational
software

11. Text- to- Speech
• Text-to-speech (TTS) is a
type of speech
synthesis application that
is used to create a spoken
sound version of the text
in a computer
document, such as a help
file or a Web page.

12. Word Prediction
• Word prediction software can help a user
during word processing by "predicting" a
word the user intends to type.

13. • Change your default font
• Use visual/graphical supports (mind-
maps, graphic organizers)

14. • Preserve self-esteem (don’t ask
to read/write/spell in front of
others).

15. Audio-Tape Recorded Book
With this method students can turn on a
CD player and hear the text read
aloud. Audio textbooks are used along
with the regular class textbook.
All school text books are available for LD
students to use to "read" through listening.

17. Dysgraphia

18. • Adapted grips and
slanted writing
boards

19. Use of alternatives to writing to
demonstrate knowledge
–Oral reports
–Art projects
–Multi-media
presentations

20. Oral Reports
An oral report is a
presentation, usually done for a
student’s teacher and
classmates, though it can also
be done for a larger segment of
the school community, for
parents, or for a more open
group, depending on the
circumstances.

21. Multimedia presentation

22. • Text-to-speech, portable word
processors, and word prediction
• Computer or portable word processor
(i.e. Alphasmart)

23. AlphaSmart
• The AlphaSmart is a keyboarding
device that enables a person to work on
the go, much like a laptop computer, but
it is strictly for word processing, as it
functions essentially like a simple
digital typewriter.

24. AlphaSmart

26. DYSCALCULIA

27. • Multi-sensory instruction
• Math done on graph paper to align
numbers
• Use mnemonics (8x8 is 64, wipe your
nose and shut the door)

28. • Teach “tricks” like
multiplying on fingers
• Allow scrap paper and
“cheat sheets”

29. Calculators

30. Use visual supports/
Manipulatives
– Number line
– Abacus
– Multiplication table
– Visuals of story
problems
– Time lines
– Written schedules

31. allow for math to be
done without worry
of writing or copying
errors

32. • The teacher demonstrates for the student
(e.g., Watch me; here’s how I do a division
problem…”)
• The teacher has another student demonstrate
(e.g., Watch Judy; she’s going to bisect that line.”)

33. • The teacher simply tells student a factual
answer (e.g., “9 plus 5 equals 14”)
• The teacher uses or
constructs materials that
include demonstrations and
leaves these for students to
consult while solving
problems.

34. “Teacher
should think of
the student
with learning
disabilities not
as one with a
disability but
as one with
ability.”
