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.]]> 2023-10-02 18:32:06 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2729093556 https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2729093559 Dyspraxia means that you partially lose abilities such as cooridination and movement, and is also known as the developmental coordination disorder.

Some accommodations the school can provide is having a student buddy to help the student take notes in class, allowing the student to stand and take small breaks throughout the school day, and sitting closer to the board and allowing extra time on test and homework for them. This will help the students be successful in the classroom, feel comfortable, and ready to learn more. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:47:15 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2732111628 rhycc https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2732117721 No/Low
- special pencil grips (fits better in their hand so it is more comfortable to write)
-special raised lined paper (to be able to write bigger)
Mid
-Audio book (for students who have trouble in the reading areas this can help them follow along with the rest of the class)
-Electrical device (can help children learn to read, write, etc)
High Tech
-Speech to text (helps children get their thoughts onto paper)

To help with this you can suggest that they be able to monitor and regulate what they are feeling and be honest about what you are feeling. Don't hold it all in.

Communication- Speech can be difficult for intonation and pitch and rhythm. You can suggest that they have speech therapy or just give them time and make sure they know they don't have to rush.

Advocacy for needs- simply listening to peoples stories and making sure they know you are on their side. There are also foundations for dyspraxia advocacy.

Problem Solving- suggest they learn to think creatively.

Social Skills- I would suggest putting yourself into situations where you are with other people to talk.

Independence- individuals with dyspraxia have difficulties but are able to live independently.]]> 2023-10-04 14:24:47 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2732183660 rhycc https://padlet.com/wschleic/jav0d83o1ln9n3z5/wish/2734442669 - Communicate with each other (feelings and struggles)
