Part 2: Simulation “Through your Child’s Eyes” gave me a better understanding of how challenging and difficult it is for students with learning disabilities. I chose 1st grade because this is the grade I am interested in teaching. I was getting very frustrated with the reading simulation because what was most challenging for me was knowing which letter I was supposed to change. This was an eye opener for me in knowing what my niece goes through with her reading and spelling. The other frustration for me was the video, I was having a difficult time trying to hear what the teacher wanted us to do with the pictures, plus with all the background noise that was going on. What I learned from the simulation is how challenging and frustrating it is for a child with dyslexia. This experience made me feel like I was failing to meet the expectations of other people. Dyslexia often affects oral language functioning. Dyslexia is involves difficult learning how to both read or write. Dyslexia does affects oral communication, and this involves trouble with how to recognize and manipulate the sound in language. Children with dyslexia have trouble with breaking down the words so they can be able to sound them out. Students with Dyslexia have problems when it comes to reading, writing, and spelling. Teachers can recognize students who have dyslexia if they have a problem organizing written and spoken words, as well as spelling, reading, and memorizing numbers. The simulation also taught me that dyslexia does not only affect the reading area but math as well. Students with dyslexia have a problem not only with letters but with numbers as well (Understood, 2014-2020).

Learning Attention Deficit Disability Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

Definition Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder is a disorder that affects the brain. (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014).

Characteristics The are many characteristics of ADHD, which some of them are -difficulties staying focus -difficulties time management -The person becomes distracted easily (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014).

Causes No exactly know the causes of ADHD, research shows factors that can be the cause of ADHD -The environment -Genetics -Problem with the central nervous system (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014).

Prevalence About 15.5% of school children have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (Cortiella & Horowiz,2014).

Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)

Auditory processing disorder is a hearing problem (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014).

The characteristics of auditory processing disorder are, inability to understand speech, problem with following directions, and learning disability, (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014)

The causes of APD are head trauma, lead poisoning, and chronic ear infections

It is about 5% of school children have (APD) (Cortiella & Horowiz,2014)

Students with dyscalculia have anxiety when doing math problems, they have a problem remembering basic facts, difficulty understanding place value (Cortiella & Horowiz, 2014). Students with dysgraphia having problem with poor

Part 3: Reflection Teachers should believe and understand that all the students in their classroom have different learning needs. They need to be aware that some of the students in their classroom have behavior, emotional, social, and many and other challenges that are going to prevent them from learning. It is vital that the teachers are able to identify developmental and individual differences, so that they can be able to provide them with the accommodation that they need. By identifying developmental and individual differences of learning needs, the students get the attention and support that they need to be successful with their academics. The teacher can also be able to recognize the signs of the disabilities when interacting with the students. Some of the things that the teacher can easily spot are reading, writing, and difficulty staying focused, and many more (Teachers’ Awareness of Students with Learning Disabilities, 2019). From the experience I learned from the simulations I will be able help the students who have learning dyslexia with extra time on tests, and also provide a quiet place for them to do their work. For students with dyslexia, it is suggested that the teacher gives them a verbal exam. Rather than a written exam. For the non-disabled students, I will have them do separate homework assignments. The simulations showed me that I will have to I will pay close attention to all my student in the classroom. Which of my students will be given homework assignment that meets their academic level (Teachers’ Awareness of Students with Learning Disabilities, 2019).

Various disabilities do affect student’s learning and other areas of the student’s life both in the classroom and outside the classroom. For instance, Attention -Deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) affects the students both in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Students with ADHD struggle with completing their homework assessments or chores, it is also challenging for them to

stay focused, both in the classroom and outside the classroom. The other area that ADHD students struggle with both in classroom and outside are interruptions of conversations, and overly talkative children and many other symptoms. The way a teacher can aid the students is if the student has an urge to move from their seat, because they have a need to get up and down from the seat because of (ADHD). When this happens, the teacher can provide them with a sensory activity like objects or wiggle seats. The other way the teacher can help the students with (ADHD) to stay focused when using technology to do their assignment, is by turning off the notification sounds. Also, not to sit near the window (Teachers’ Awareness of Students with Learning Disabilities, 2019).
