Hearing the sounds

Yes I’m listening, and yes I can hear, but connecting your words to words on the page takes additional energy.

Yes, I can tell you the answer but getting it down on paper is an additional step in my brain that can sometime significantly lengthen the time I need and can deplete my energy faster than other kids.

Hooking the sounds

Again, yes, I can hear, but getting the sounds/words/sentences/etc. into my long-term storage may not work for me unless I hear and see and say the information over and over and over and...

Grabbing the Sounds

Now you want to make sure I understand, and I do, but now I need to access the knowledge I stored in my brain; however, because I do not read with the language part of my brain, I need a little time to find the file. It’s a tiny fraction of a second that I need, but all those nanoseconds eventually add up, and now add back in the need for me to show you I understand and now I must also speak or write what I know...and by the time I’m ready to answer you’ve moved on to someone else or the bell has rung.

Have you noticed I’m dismally disorganized? Could I be ADHD? Sure, but maybe it’s because of 1) I’m usually the last to finish, the last to pack up, the last to get the agenda written, etc., 2) I try to be organized, but I have trouble remembering from day to day where exactly “organized” was yesterday, 3) because of my slower writing, I may only get part of the agenda, assignment, notes, or they may be so messy that they are difficult to understand, and therefore I miss important deadlines and information.

Wow! Too many to count, but it all goes back to these questions:

1. What is your purpose?

2. What do you want the student to be able to demonstrate?

3. Does the method matter or just the outcome?

4. Is this particular product an essential part of the learning?

What does the classroom look like for me to learn?

Do I need to test in quiet room or one on one?

Do I need to sit in front, to the side, near the teacher desk or even further back?

Do I need to angle a binder under my paper to lessen the 90 degree angle of horizontal to vertical desk to board?

Do I need to copy my notes directly from the ELMO?

Or is it better for me to take a pic of the notes with my phone?

Can I wear earplugs to block out distractions?

If I need to whisper read (subvocalize), is there a place in the room where I can do this without causing a distraction or embarrassment?

How do I access the curriculum?

Do I need audiotexts?

Or copies of notes? Maybe cloze format?

Bigger font? Or more white space on the page?

Colored overlays? Or just something to track with?

Maybe graphing paper to help maintain columns in math?

Mnemonic devices to help memorize?

What process do I take to reach the desired outcome?

With more time?

By taking audio notes or recording the lecture?

Through an open notes assignment?

By having questions and/or answer choices read aloud?

With the help of technology to help fluent output or because handwriting significantly impairs understanding?

How about a peer tutor or helper?

# data[].attributes.body
How do I show my learning?

Oral presentation instead of written?

One on one performance instead of in front of peers?

By not being penalized for messy handwritten work or spelling errors?

# data[].attributes.body
Do I need accommodations?

Accommodations help me access the curriculum not be valedictorian.
