The students’ on my caseload have disabilities that range from the following: verbal, sensory, auditory skills, and emotional and behavior disorders. Most of my students’ have specific learning disabilities that relate to the basic psychological processes that involve, understanding or using spoken or written language, which may contribute to their ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell and to perform mathematical calculations.

To be specific, he is constantly making noises, will get out of his seat and roam about the room, lose focus and begin talking about different things that interest him. It is very difficult for JV to maintain focus for long unless a stimulating environment is provided. I decided to reach JV by providing material that is of interest to him. Stories that relate to his interest that he has selected are being used with instructionalShow MoreRelatedMy Teaching Toolbox..

I learned that I am able to learn through different teaching styles and still learn the necessary information that is being given.
