During each class, you will be given a set of criterion to follow to construct your own research and find resources to create a disability padlet. On Friday of this week, you will be teaching another group about your disability using the padlet you have created, which will lead into our second edition of the Who Am I? Demystification poster regarding Specific Learning Disabilities.

Tasks: Conduct your own research (I have given you a head start with the resource hub) on each of the subtopics for each day. As always, based on course policy, do not copy and paste. Quote, summarize, and paraphrase. For each subtopic, you will also be required to find two resources (videos, links, websites, pdfs, etc.) to assist and teach others. Provide a brief description for each of your resources as well.

Subtopics: In each subtopic, you will need the following:
- Defining, summarizing, quoting, or paraphrasing to give an understanding of each one.
- Two resources + an explanation of each one.]]> 2023-10-01 17:13:14 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/5srkp2asmel4xirg/wish/2727574405 wschleic https://padlet.com/wschleic/5srkp2asmel4xirg/wish/2727574406 Identify challenges in the following areas:

If parents are aware of what upcoming topics children are learning in school they can help immerse them in the subject early to help prepare them.
