Teaching in special education schools is different compared to normal schools and we discuss some methods for improving the learning for students in special education.

2. For Improving Academics and Organization
Learning should be broken down into
small steps.
Teachers should regularly ensure that
the children are able to understand
what is being taught.
Providing information both verbally
and visually using diagrams and
pictures will greatly help students with
learning disabilities understand better.

3. During Reading Sessions
Students with learning disabilities
should be provided a quiet area for
reading activities in their schools.
The books which are used should have
large fonts with big spaces between
lines.
Students must be provided with
outlines of chapters which highlight the
key points.

4. At the Time of Writing
Private schools for students with
learning disabilities should take oral
exams instead of written ones
whenever possible.
Students should be provided with a
partially completed outline which will
help students in filling out their details.
A speech recognition program which is
combined with a word processor can be
used which will allow students to
dictate instead of type.

5. When Teaching Mathematics
Students in special education schools
when being taught math must be done
using diagrams for teaching the
concepts.
Colored pencils should be used in order
to differentiate problems.
Mnemonic devices must be employed
for teaching the different concepts of
math.

6. During Testing and Evaluation
Language which is overly complicated
must be avoided at all costs.
For students who face difficulties in
reading can have a proctor read out
the test.
Students in special education schools
must be allowed to use a calculator,
dictionary, or thesaurus during tests.
