Resources to Support Disabled Learners
Dessoff, Alan
District Administration, v44 n6 p49-52 May 2008
With 4 to 6 percent of all students in the nation's public schools classified as having specific learning disabilities, according to the Learning Disabilities Association of America (LDA), most teachers can expect to have students who are learning disabled in their classrooms. This presents a challenge to teachers and administrators alike, who are required by federal law to be sure such students get the same quality of education as nondisabled students. Fortunately, a plethora of government agencies, nonprofits, and commercial vendors provide teaching materials and guidance to help educators instruct students with dyslexia, autism, attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder, and other conditions that make it difficult for them to read, write, and organize their thoughts. This article describes several technologies and resources that offer support for students with learning disabilities.
