Let’s talk about the ways we learn differently. Actually, let’s take a look at Learning Differences, reading resources for families with students who learn differently. This is the second of three blogs exploring SSPP Reads, your go-to literacy took kit
Assistive Technology (AT) is any kind of aid that assists the learner–something as basic as pencil and paper to Livescribe’s Pulse Smart Pen, recording/listening devices from Learning Ally (formerly Recordings for the Blind and Dyslexic) , or audio books. There is much to learn in order to get the right tech for your student. Great Schools headquartered in San Francisco is the country’s leading source on school performance and a key resource for AT information. Check these links through Assistive Tech.
LD Links has loads of informational links–check out autism, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, dyslexia, speech and language delays, and more. A good starting place for you to familiarize yourself with learning differences and learning disabilities.
Explore key links to understanding accommodations in the classroom, modifications of curriculum, and psycho-educational assessments. Learn about IEPs, RTIs, and 504s! See Parent/Teacher Education .
The more you learn about learning differences, the better prepared you are to advocate for your student and to help your student learn to self-advocate.
