2. Have students work in small groups.
3. Have students with learning disabilities use electronic devices.
4. Give students a guideline to follow.
5. Provide them with tutoring.
6. Find other ways to explain the problem.
Process
1. PowerPoint Presentation: The teacher can give a PowerPoint Presentation this will be helpful for students as they follow along with the teacher. While also having highlighting keywords, years, or any important information to know from each slide. This will help students to understand what information is most important to learn. The teacher can also add images with her presentation to give the students a better understanding of what the lecture is about.
2. Small Groups: Having students work in small groups will be beneficial for them because they can compare notes, assist each other, giving their own opinion of what the topic was about, and improve their communication skills and confidence when talking to their peers.
3. Using Electronic Devices: The teacher can allow students with disabilities to use any electronic devices that will assist them with their studying. Which must be approved by the student's doctors. The Electric Devices can be used to take notes, listen to video audio from the books that they're reading, and so forth.
4. Guidelines: The teacher can give students a guideline to follow when doing an assignment or project that will help them go step by step on how to do the work.
5. Tutoring: Teachers can give tutoring to students who need more help to understand the subject that they need more help with. Teachers can ask the school to hire a tutor or teacher assistance that can help the teacher during classwork.
6. Other Ways to Explain the Problem: Sometimes a teacher must find other ways to teach a subject to the student to have a better understanding of the lecture. The teacher can show a proper video that will show students other ways to solve a problem. Other times the teacher can find other ways to explain the solution.
