Hi Prof

We always associate depression with signs like sadness, moodiness, tearfulness, withdrawal etc…but I wonder if it possible for students, especially those with LD to attempt suicide or complete the act without manifesting any of the above mentioned emotions but only joyous expression?

My friend teaches deaf students and one of her students jumped out of the balcony because her dad threatened to rotan her. The dead student's twin sister self harms because of an argument with a friend. As adults/teachers, how do we deal with students who may be 'extra sensitive'? Especially when we feel like there's not much we can do as a teacher

Using verbal threat to autistic child to correct/shape behaviour

I have an autistic pupil who have normal IQ level for his age, so it's not a problem when doing writing task or completing worksheet but the behaviors of him like always mentioning time (taking my hand to look at my watch), asking repeated questions like “what time do we go home” or when he not seeing someone he used to, he will keep asking even though we (teachers) keep answering it. Sometimes when the questions are already been answered many times, we kinda threat him saying like “you cannot go home”, then he stop and become obedient. But then he repeat the behavior again, then we say the same threat. again and again. My question is, can this give him bad affect emotionally or mentally? For meantime, this is just the way to correct any of the behaviour of him or to shape any behaviour to make him fit to the peers.

Thank you in a advance Prof. Sharifah :)

I would like to know how do we make 'most' children with LD  to understand that life is comprised of UPS and DOWNS.

E.g. Frustration is one aspect that 'most' children with LD don't understand. Some internalized it, while others manifest their emotion through anger or some other intense behaviors like shouting, throwing things etc.

How to make them to understand that 'frustration' is good for furtherance of their development and teach them to see 'frustration' in positive light and accept the fact that one cannot get or achieve everything we want in life?

Thank you.

That is very true. My former student didn't want to share any of her problems because she ever shared her problems and traumas to a school counsellor, it ended up the next day most of the teachers gave her a weird stare because the counsellor told the other teachers about her. She was really embarrassed. She was later diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder and still scared to open up and ask for help.

What if classmates of an ADHD do not want to include him in their group assignments because he slows them down due to his slower speed and inability to understand the problem given and can't contribute to problem solving? When we forced a group to include him, the peers became emotionally stressed but when we exclude him, we feel that we could be excluding him socially. In the end the peer relationship becomes very stressed.

I believe resilience is built when children feel safe, supported and loved. When they know that the mistakes are lessons to learn from instead of something to be punished. Built trust first.

is it possible in the mind of dyslexia students when they where being ask can be misinterpret by them? e.g : when teacher ask the student himself(student with dyslexia) why did he punch his friend and the answer given because his friend punch him first. but the situation itself were nothing like that.

Hello, I am Syahirah.

Janko was bullied and abused as in this case study, it is stated that his friends considered him stupid and kept on hurting him as he was always beaten by the other students because of his condition.

I would like to ask for your opinion, how can we help kids like Janko / how to deal with the bullies in order to avoid the bully issues.

Thank you so much.

I wonder if persistent emotional disturbances. physical abuses and forced isolation (like being locked away in a room for hours or days as punishment) during childhood can be a cause of dyslexia?

Thank you very much for your excellent lecture. I would to ask you to elaborate the different between" education for persons with disabilities and education for special need and you do have definition for both?. Second question is: special need or special school can still applied or use this word since UN Convention on right of person with disabilities mentioned should not use it because meaning seem to discriminate. Thank you

I am a receiving teacher, not a sped teacher, from Senior High School. I am at grade 11, with the situation we have, the covid situation, mostly we just give modules assisted by the parents. we have a big problem accommodating them specially we have different disabilities from mild autism, hearing impairment, and mostly Learning Disabilities in TVL(skill strand). the best way is to communicate with them with the parents persche. lessening the task which they need, talk to their advisers as often as possible. will they be effective not at all but still we did something for them

My students still love being praised and they range from 13-19yo. Their emotional age is still behind their biological age. These kids more often than not lack praise at home or elsewhere. Hence, when they get praised, they really cherish it.
The methods use to praise must be appropriate according to the students.

Good day Prof

Just curious....How can we define many students who may not have learning difficulties but having issues in focusing and learning in the classroom, especially in mainstream schools.

Is it important to structure an assignment for a college student with LD i.e. ADHD? How do we structure it without giving it him too much support making the work have too much instructor's help? We worry that we may not get to assess his real abilities to complete the task.

Some may categorize Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, ADHD etc as a 'Specific Learning Difficulty' rather than a 'Learning Disability'. What is the difference between 'Learning Difficulty' / 'Specific Learning Difficulty' VS 'Learning Disability'?
