Students with learning disabilities and dyslexia are going to need accommodations to help them learn in a way that clicks for them. Not every student is the same, so what works for one might not work for another. They might not listen well, and a way to accommodated them would be to provide printed out instructions for them to look at if they did not understand. But, another student might need the teacher to read out loud those instructions for it to connect in their brains.
Some Accommodations
- Use a tape recorder.
- Clarify or simplify written directions.
- Present a small amount of work.
- Highlight essential information.
- Provide additional practice activities.
- Provide a glossary in content areas.
- Allowing additional time on complex reading and writing assignments.
- Do not call on the student to answer unless they volunteer, and if they volunteer call on them first (because they process information slower they might only have one answer where a regular student might have two or three answers).
- Quiet testing environment.
- Additional time on test.
- Provide audio books.
