At schools, there are students that encounter learning disabilities that are usually misdiagnosed, and the blame is put on the children, that they are not studying well or they are not smart and this is why they are not doing well in classes; however, there are many disabilities that can be encountered, such as Dyslexia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum disorder, Poor eye sight, Hearing problems... etc. Thanks to the technology that is rising everyday by day, it is helping students with learning disabilities to overcome this and improve their educational performance and their mental development. Let us see how technology can help students with learning disabilities.
How Assistive Technology Supports Students With Disabilities - YouTube
In the Video provided through the link , you will see how assistive technology uncovered the true essence of students with disabilities. In fact, this was a very emotional moment while watching this video, because we cannot determine what a child is capable to actually give or how smart they are. With the innovative creations in technology and specific programs, every student is able to express how they feel or what they know in their own way. Learning is not always evaluated or assessed through paper-pencil exams to determine what the students know or what they don't know, some students are not able to express their thoughts in writing rather than talking but that does not mean that the student is not smart. As teachers, our job is to develop the minds of our youngsters and to help them move forward in their lives, not to judge them and feel that they are not worth it or they are not up to the level. They can be smarter than anyone in the room, but it is our job as teachers to figure it out.

ReplyDeleteThank you Samar for your kind words, yes this is the case unfortunately but one day it will change.
DeleteYes, it is a disaster when the teachers blame the student for any disability instead of blaming themselves for not being educated enough to be able to deal with such situations.
ReplyDeleteThe problem now is that the curriculum and the study of learning difficulties are taught in universities, but it is not applied in the right ways
