OBJECTIVE 9
Designed, adapted and implemented teaching strategies
that are responsive to learners with disabilities, giftedness and talents

PROMPT #1
Context: Clara is often seen restless or unfocused in class. She also has troubles following instructions and
skips activities when left unsupervised.
Action Taken: You had a conference with her parents and found out from them that Clara was diagnosed with
a learning disability.

How will you modify the instructions for Clara to keep her focus on classroom activities? Write your
reflections in this form. Mention in your reflections a specific learning disability that you are familiar with or
have researched on.

MY REFLECTION
Children learn many skills in life—how to listen and speak, for example, or how to read, write, and
do math. Some skills may be harder to learn than others. If the child has had appropriate learning
experiences and instruction, but is not able to keep up with peers, it's important to find out why and how
to help.

Learning disability is a term used to describe a range of learning and thinking differences that can
affect the way the brain takes in, uses, stores, and sends out information. Some children have specific
learning disabilities (also known as LDs), such as reading or math disabilities. Others may have
conditions that affect learning like attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) or hearing loss. Many
children with learning differences and difficulties can have more than one learning disability or condition
that affects learning.

Learning disabilities or learning disorders are umbrella terms for a wide variety of learning
problems. A learning disability is not a problem with intelligence or motivation and kids with learning
disabilities aren’t lazy or dumb. In fact, most are just as smart as everyone else. Their brains are simply
wired differently—and this difference affects how they receive and process information.
In Clara’s case she has ADHD and an auditory processing disorder. She has difficulties
paying attention and staying organized, excess fidgeting or restlessness, and trouble with self-
control or impulsive behaviors. Clara has trouble focusing on activities and becoming easily
distracted, engaging in activities loudly or disruptively and excess talking and interrupting other
people

With the following strategies, Clara can be successful in school and life:

First, Clara has an especially difficult time dealing with distractions, being seated near the
front of the class may be helpful.

Second, provide immediate praise for good behavior. If a negative behavior is minimal and
not disruptive, it's best to ignore it.

Third, rewards and incentives should always be used to motivate a student. Prioritizing
rewards over punishment will help ensure that school continues to feel like a positive place for kids
with ADHD like Clara.

Fourth, give Clara a break. Child with ADHD tend to struggle with sitting still for long periods
of time, so giving them frequent opportunities to get up and move around can be a big help.

Fifth, help Clara avoid feeling overloaded with information by giving concise one- or two-
step directions

As a teacher, our role is to evaluate each child’s individual needs and strengths. Then we
can develop strategies that will help students with ADHD focus, stay on task, and learn to their full
capabilities. With a lot of patience, creativity, and consistency I can help Clara to become
successful.
