by Alex

Oct 2, 2011

I'm going into the teaching field soon and i've noticed then when learning about special education and all the different kinds of disabilities I noticed that a much higher proportion of boys have them than girls. Autism, ADD, E/BD 80% or more approximately. is their a study that has been done in this field on this ? or some kind of explanation?

Reading/spelling program

by Mom

Jan 13, 2012

Hi. I have a child currently in the 5th grade who likely has an auditory processing disorder. She tests high on reading tests and has high comprehension, but I have noticed that she is not able to decode words or read as fluently as a typical 5th grader (more at the grade level of a 3rd grader). Her spelling is also not at grade level. She has diff...See More

Readingtutor An excellent book to read would be Uncovering the Logic of English by Denise Eide. She also has a spelling program called The Logic of English. I applause you for taking action to help your daughter

You need administrative support to get anywhere and even then it's hard. Many teachers even when they believe you also believ...See More

iPads and Autism

by Amanda

Sep 2, 2012

I have heard that iPads, Leap Pads, etc. can be very beneficial in teaching children who have Autism. When using the devices, children stay engaged and interested in the lesson for longer than when taught traditional learning strategies. As a future Speech-Language Pathologist, I plan on using this technology in my therapy sessions. However, I am c...See More

I am a reading specialist and have 4 students (grade 2) that have SEVERE memory issues. They are all reading at a pre-first level, have very few sight words and answering questions is quite challenging. I am looking for some ideas to help improve both their working and long term (retrieval) memory.

AM I am a parent not a teacher and this is just my experience.

Here is how one doc explained it to me with my child. It's like a faulty filing system. When they get the info they file it away but don't know where it's stored, sometimes they can pull it sometimes they can't. If they can pull the information it gets put back into the file but i...See More

AM with a P.S. This is my first time to the LD board and it doesn't look very active. You'll find some great ideas on the sped board where the sped teachers hang out. They could probably give you more ideas.
