Provide an outline of what will be taught - highlight key concepts and provide opportunities to practice new skills and concepts.

Provide reading lists well before the start of a course so that reading can begin early.

Consider tailoring reading lists and provide guidance to key texts. Allow work to be completed on an in-depth study of a few texts rather than a broad study of many.

Whenever you are introducing procedures or processes or giving directions, for example in a laboratory or computing exercise, ensure that stages or sequences are made clear and are explained in verbal as well as written form.

Students may benefit from using assistive technology.

Use as many verbal descriptions as possible to supplement material presented on blackboard or overhead

Use clear, succinct, straightforward language.

Reinforce learning by using real-life examples and environments.

Present information in a range of formats – handouts, worksheets, overheads, videos – to meet a diversity of learning styles.

Use a variety of teaching methods so that students are not constrained by needing to acquire information by reading only. Where possible, present material diagrammatically - in lists, flow charts, concept maps etc.

Keep diagrams uncluttered and use colour wherever appropriate to distinguish and highlight.

Ensure that lists of technical/professional jargon which students will need to learn are available early in the course.

Recording lectures will assist those students who have handwriting or coordination problems and those who write slowly as well as those who have a tendency to mishear or misquote.

Students will be more likely to follow correctly the sequence of material in a lecture if they are able to listen to the material more than once.

Wherever possible, ensure that key statements and instructions are repeated or highlighted in some way.

One-to-one tutoring in subjects may be important; this can include peer tutoring.

Students may benefit from having oral rather than written feedback on their written assignments.

It may be helpful for students with intellectual disability to have an individual orientation to laboratory equipment or computers to minimise anxiety.
