 Provide a detailed course syllabus that
includes assignments and due dates. Post it before the
beginning of the semester, so the students can decide if they want
to register for your course
in the first place.
Be aware of the classroom environment.
Many students with learning disabilities have difficulty
blocking out their surroundings. Offer them the opportunity to
sit closer to you.
Make your organization overt. Plan to
start each class with a review of previous material. Outline on the
board what you will be covering. End with a summary of important
points.
Embed study skills into your
curriculum. Don’t assume students know how to study for your
course.
Provide direct instruction in how to successfully master your course
material.
Prepare samples of finished papers or
essay test answers, giving your students an understanding of the
level of quality you expect.
Provide study questions for exams that
demonstrate the format as well as the content of the test. Explain
what constitutes a good answer and why.
Make your curriculum multisensory.
Fluctuate instructional methods, provide illustrations, handouts,
auditory, visual and technical aides.
