Activities for Students with Learning Disabilities

The person who has a learning disability is affected in its entirety, he suffers from the devaluation and criticism that comes from others, because of the underestimation she feels for not being able to fulfill what she expects of herself, and with what others expect, especially in the family environment. Failure to learn touches both the intimate and the social being, precisely because of the place that social success has in our world. Therefore, it is essential that teachers apply activities according to the needs of each student.

Classroom Strategies
– Sit the child in a quiet area.

– Sit the child next to someone who is a good role model.

– Sit her close to a colleague who can support her in her learning.

– Direct the child's attention to the task that will be started. It is important to help them discover and select the most important information, organize and systematize it.

– Work routines must be clear. Unforeseen variations should be avoided as far as possible.

– It is not convenient to do activities with time limits. This can encourage impulsive behavior.

– Allow extra time to complete your work.

– Shorten work periods to match your attention spans.

– Divide the work they are given into smaller parts so that they can complete it.

– Assist the child to set short-term goals.

– Deliver the jobs one at a time.

– Demand fewer correct answers from them than from the rest of the class.

– Reduce the amount of homework.

– Give both oral and written instructions.

– Try to involve the child in the presentation of the themes.

– Establish secret signals between the child and the teacher so that you can make him notice when he is starting to get distracted.

– It is important that these children are in motivating work environments, with tasks that are meaningful to them. You must attract her interest and present her with tasks that are challenging. There was a belief that it would be convenient for them to be in work environments with few stimuli because everything catches their attention; however, it is now known that it is important to provide them with adequate stimulation in an environment that is stimulating for these attention-deficit children.
