I am a high school graduate with a learning disabillity. This disability has kept me from receving a scholarship to play basketball in college, in which I have been told by many coaches that I am an outstanding player. Can anyone tell me how I can obtain help in getting into a college not only for the sports but a chance to further my education.
Are there anyone who can guide me in helping my son transition from high school to college who has a learning disability
Mary, what kind of help are you looking for? There’s some excellent articles that guide, on this website (including the list/link at the top of this page. There are also college counseling consultants who can be hired to help in a variety of ways.
I need help. Im doin a project for my college english class. The teacher is requireing us to design a 40 day plan for a literacy class. He wants us to think about a way to included multisensory learning in our project in order to help more kids learn, but i dont really understand how multisensory learning works. What do these kinds of children need in order to learn better? what helps them learn better? what could help them to become better writers?
Thanks so much for responding to my post. Actually I don’t know what kind of help I need. I have tried different approaches resulting with little help or none at all. Who do I need to contact and when. He has been out of school for some months now, and I don’t want to run out of time.
Alyssa: It’s simple really. Multi-sensory means teaching to more than one sense simultaneously. So, instead of just lecturing, how about lecturing and illustrating on the board at the same time?
Instead of just having students read a chapter why not have them to a hands-on experiment while you lecture them.
Multi=more than one. Sensory= sense.
Teach to more than one sense at the same time or in sequence.
In phonics teaching, multi-sensory usually refers to hearing it, writing it and speaking it as well, in the old days, tracing the letter form with one’s finger.
What is even more effective is have a student illustrate (on the board) the teacher’s lecture while he or she is lecturing/reading. All the students become engaged learners as they watch the child draw on the board what the teacher is saying. After a few times, the students will begin to draw their own pictures of what the teacher is saying and…the best part…multi-sensory learning is not only occuring, but the students will retain what they have learned indefinately!
I desperately need a program for my son. He has ADHD and is about to be expelled from his current College which he started to attend in the Fall of 2008. We are financially drained so we need financial aid as well.
Hope someone has ideas.
Thank you,
Karen: why was he expelled from his current college? What happened? That would be good to know before choosing a new college.
Hi I am looking for a course for my friend who is just finished school. She is suffering from dyslexia. I have searched on the internet for some help but no luck. What is the best and most suited career path for people suffering from dyslexia?? She is super talented and very creative.
Reponse will be much appreciated,,thankyou vry much
Vinita: Your friend should have herself tested if she hasn’t already. Dyslexia can mean many things and the results of a series of tests will show her what her strengths and weaknesses are so that she can go after jobs that suit her.
For example, not all people with dyslexia have poor handwriting but if she does, learning how to type and using a computer will be essential.
When you say she’s just finished school, what level of school did she finish? High school, college, grad school?
