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 17:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2727569367 wschleic https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2727569368 Identify challenges in the following areas:

Most people believe that dyslexia is genetic and gets passed down. Other factors could be low birth weight, premature birth, and poor maternal health while in the womb. There is no sure cause that has been identified. Dyslexia is normally something you are born with but it can also occur after a brain injury. ]]> 2023-10-02 13:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2728611688 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2728618252 - School: Having issues with sounding out words, struggle with writing because they can reverse numbers and letters when writing.

People with dyslexia may also struggle with ADHD, dysgraphia, dyscalculia, speech/language disorders, executive functioning disorders, and anxiety. This is why every person with dyslexia is affected differently because most of the time there can be another issue working with dyslexia. ]]> 2023-10-02 13:51:58 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2728618787 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2728625334 - Dyslexia affects roughly 20% of the Earth's population.
- 80-90% of those people already have other learning    disabilities.
- It is estimated that every 1 out of 10 people have dyslexia.
- Children who grow up in poverty are 40% more likely to have reading impairments.
- About 60% of people with dyslexia are men.
- Kids with ADHD make up for 30% of the diagnosis.

These assessments help people see the child's ability and what they struggle with. Children with dyslexia may need accommodation when completing tests and assignments. One example of an accommodation would be reading instructions aloud to the students. Also doing things with formatting like making text larger and putting less information on each page can be useful. Letting these children work in small groups or in another classroom can help limit distractions and help with completing assignments as well. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732094761 gcnzzmmqn2_ https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732103579 Smart Pens -  A smart pen is a device to help people with disabilities like dyslexia take notes. The pen allows you to record audios from lectures. A smart pen also records what you are writing when you are taking hand written notes. You can then upload your notes onto your device.

Speech recognition - This software allows for people to speak into a device and the device will type the words out for them. This can be useful for people with dyslexia because it allows them to write what they want without the stress of making mistakes.]]> 2023-10-04 13:43:11 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732103579 bcldc https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732103978 There are multiple areas where challenges will be for people with dyslexia. They will have trouble reading and keeping up with other students in the classroom. In their personal lives, they may struggle with talking to others and reading menus and articles. They can work through all of these things though. When it comes to emotional regulation it can be hard for students with dyslexia to remain calm and collected when struggling. They may become frustrated and angry. To overcome this we have to talk with our students and remind them that they can take their time and help is available to them. Communication is another hard area for people with dyslexia. Since reading and writing is a challenge for them when talking via text/email it can be hard to communicate what they want to say. They can overcome this by slowing down and using text-to-speech software that allows them to say what they want instead of typing it. Overall, there are ways to overcome all of these challenges and it is important to stay positive. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:43:24 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732103978 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732108189 No/low technology devices: 
- Reading guides/ color overlays: The use of these for a student with dyslexia can be helpful to them by it providing them a way to maintain the focus on the text by it highlighting the sentence they should be focusing on. The color overlay also helps the student if the typical black and white print is challenging for the individual. 
- Magnifiers: Using a magnifier can help an individual with dyslexia by the focus being on one word or sentence, which restricts them from wondering to other words on the page.  
Mid technology devices: 
- Speech to text app: This technology can help a dyslexia student that struggles with the writing aspect. This app can allow the student to use their voice to get their point across instead of struggling to write their thoughts down on paper. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:45:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732108189 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732114702 Accommodations:
change of setting: This can make it easier for the student to focus when reducing visual and/or auditory distractions. 

Timing: changing the amount of time given to complete a task/test could reduce stress for the child and allow the child more time to read more efficiently and comprehend the material.  You can also allow breaks (when necessary)

Organization: devices and strategies such as timers to keep track of how much time they have, highlighters to make reading more easier, color coding their materials, or large print. 

some adjustments to instructional opportunities would be giving step by step instructions and reading the written instructions you loud. use key words when reading instructions. when giving out paper copies you can highlight the key words for the student to rad first. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:48:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732114702 gcnzzmmqn2_ https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732117332 Mid tech device

Some families with multiple children have trouble giving time to each child. The child with dyslexia may get extra help and support causing the other children to feel unimportant and left out. It is important for the family to understand this, take extra time for the other children, and make them feel important. In the home, you can work on helping a child with dyslexia by having them listen to audiobooks and follow along, drilling sight words, and repeating and reviewing their skills. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732121894 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732135440 to help with social skills you can use examples such as using videos, shows, or real like events to help learn about social cues. you can also use phrases to show you are paying attention and teach how to properly use them and switch them up. its also important to practice everything with a trusted friend or family member to start. ]]> 2023-10-04 13:59:36 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732135440 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732136734 Independence: 
An individual with dyslexia can struggle with completing tasks in the classroom independently because their disability could leave them to not being able to read the directions or instructions of the task they are supposed to complete. To help these individuals gain the independence, assistive technology is provided. ]]> 2023-10-04 14:00:19 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732136734 https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732184073 Strategy 1:
One strategy that helps an individual with dyslexia reinforce skills is using multisensory learning. This is when a lesson or skill is taught to the individual, but more than one sense is being incorporated. This strategy is beneficial to someone with dyslexia because they struggle with processing new information. Using this strategy allows the individual to engage in movements of learning new things. ]]> 2023-10-04 14:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2732184073 gcnzzmmqn2_ https://padlet.com/wschleic/p9uwlhmknw40088y/wish/2734143860 Advocacy for needs:
