How Can I Help My Students?

How can you help your students with learning disabilities? This web-based training will provide you with many ideas on how to assist your students. One technique that you may wish to use is the "4 R's." Take a look at the 4 R's.

4 R's for Assisting Persons with Learning Disabilities

  • Recognition
    Until a person understands that they have a learning disability, it is impossible for them to address the issue and its impact on their lives.

  • Remediation
    Most persons with learning disabilities have gaps in their basic literacy skills and require remediation in a fashion appropriate for their learning skills, as well as in issues of self-esteem and social skills.

  • Rehabilitation
    The likelihood for success in employment and academics will increase for persons with learning disabilities.

  • Reasonable Accommodations
    Even though lessened with remediation and rehabilitation, manifestations of learning disabilities will not disappear, and accommodations for them must be provided in the workplace and in postsecondary settings.
