Learning Disability and Interventions you can do at homeRoxanne Fuentes
We just had a reading intervention seminar for parents of our pupils this week and I was tasked to discuss about learning disabilities and what parents can do to help their children. I made a very simple presentation on interventions which I found from my readings.

This presentation provides a briefing on how to upload submissions and documents in Google Classroom. It was prepared as part of an orientation for new Sainik School in-service teacher trainees. As a training officer, my goal is to ensure that you are comfortable and proficient with this essential tool for managing assignments and fostering student engagement.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The most prevalent symptoms of ADD / ADHD are inattention and distractibility and/or hyperactive and impulsive behaviors. Difficulties with concentration, mental focus, and inhibition of impulses and behaviors are chronic and pervasive and impair an individual’s daily functioning across various settings -- home, school or work, in relationships, etc.
Even a "straight A" student with autism who has a photographic memory can be incapable of remembering to bring a pencil to class or of remembering a deadline for an assignment. In such cases, aid should be provided in the least restrictive way possible. In dealing with autistic students, consistent treatment and expectations from everyone is vital.
Communication Disorders involve a wide variety of problems in speech, language, and hearing. For example, speech and language disorders include stuttering, aphasia, dysfluency, voice disorders (hoarseness, breathiness, or sudden breaks in loudness or pitch), cleft lip and/or palate, articulation problems, delays in speech and language, autism, and phonological disorders. Speech and language impairments and disorders can be attributed to environmental factors, of which the most commonly known are High Risk Register problems, which include drugs taken during pregnancy, common STD's such as syphilis, and birthing trauma to name a few. Communication disorders can also stem from other conditions such as learning disabilities, dyslexia, cerebral palsy, and mental retardation.
Gifted students possess some common characteristics. Recognizing these general traits and understanding how they may reveal themselves in the classroom is an important step toward working effectively with this unique group of children.
Over time, the average hearing impaired student shows an ever increasing gap in vocabulary growth, complex sentence comprehension and construction, and in concept formation as compared to students with normal hearing. Hearing impaired students often learn to "feign" comprehension with the end result being that the student does have optimal learning opportunities. Therefore, facilitative strategies for hearing impaired students are primarily concerned with various aspects of communication. Other problems arise because deafness is an invisible disability. It is easy for teachers to "forget about it" and treat the student as not having a disability. It has also been shown that hearing impaired students with good English skills also have good science concept formation. ("Mainstream Teaching of Science: A Source Book", Keller et al.)
Most people know, or are taught, at an early age, how to process information and develop an organized plan or strategy when confronted with a problem, whether that problem is social, academic, or job related. Others find such cognitive processes quite difficult. Learning disabilities have only recently been recognized as disabilities. This neurological disorder causes difficulty in organizing information received, remembering them, and expressing information and therefore affects a person's basic function such as reading, writing, comprehension, and reasoning. However, these students with learning disabilities can be taught effective learning strategies that will help them approach tasks more effectively. (Learning Strategies for Problem Learners, by Thomas Lombardi)
Individuals with mental retardation benefit from the same teaching strategies used to teach individuals with learning disabilities, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, and autism. It is helpful to break tasks down into small steps and introduce the task one step at a time to avoid overwhelming the individual. Once the student has mastered one step, the next is introduced.
From the very beginning of their lives, people with visual impairments, need to be taught the basics of every day functioning. What sighted individuals note as every day tasks need to be learned and practiced by the visually impaired. Research indicates that children with visual impairments "differ from their sighted peers in some areas of intelligence, ranging from understanding spatial concepts to a general knowledge of the world" (Hardman, 1993)
In 1975, Public Law 94-142,the Education for all Handicapped Children Act, was signed into law. The legislation provided individuals 3-21 with the following:
According to Loris Malaguzzi , the founder of the Reggio Emilia Schools in Italy, having these children in the schools with the other children could stimulate us, as teachers, to think in terms of a much broader pedagogical approach for all children, to broaden our horizons for all the children
On previous research performed in inclusive classrooms teachers have learned the following:
Getting to know a child with special rights.
Inclusion is the full acceptance of all students and leads to a sense of belonging within the classroom community
As schools are increasingly challenged to serve a diverse student population. However, the concern is no longer whether to provide inclusive education, but how to implement inclusive education in ways that are both feasible and effective in ensuring schooling success for all children in the classroom.
One of the most effective ways teachers can prepare for the inclusion of students with disabilities spectrum disorders is to develop an understanding about the disorder by obtaining accurate information. Having access to accurate information fosters understanding and facilitates a positive attitude toward the challenge of including a student with autism spectrum disorders.
It is for important for teachers to not rely on color during presentations to convey meaning as some students may have color blindness or a visual impairment that makes it difficult to perceiving colors accurately. A dark background and light text is best for dark rooms. A light background and dark text is best for light rooms.
It may be necessary to move the classroom furniture around or to allow students to decide where they will be most comfortable. If a wheelchair user is restricted by the layout of the room in any way, ensure that he or she can still take part in group work and see the whiteboard. Also think about less obvious environmental factors such as sufficient lighting, noise levels and room on desks for assistive technology.
