“My name is [fill in name] and I am attending the conference
session on LD Tools.”

Experiencing a Learning Disability Challenging neurological resources
related to visual motor integration. How did you feel? Was it
Laborious? Frustrating? Tiring?
Writing is really that difficult for these students

Myths & Misperceptions
Lazy or dumb Need to “try” harder
Accommodations are a “crutch” Have to learn to do things without them
for the “real” world
Can perform tasks sometimes so can’t have a disability Inconsistent

Universal Design
35
DESIGN PRINCIPLE EXAMPLE
Flexibility in Use
Accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Classroom where the student may choose to hand write, word process, or voice dictate an essay in order to demonstrate mastery
Equitable UseWebsite that is designed so that it is accessible to everyone, including people who are blind
Simple/Intuitive Use
Easy to understand, regardless of the user's experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. Shop equipment with control buttons that are clear and intuitive (e.g., red buttons for stop and green for go)
![Page 36: Tools for the Classroom and the Center Debbie Jones, Disability Specialist Humanitas, Inc. Del-Jen/Horizons Youth Services Joint Academic and Career Technical.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac6d26/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Universal Design
36
DESIGN PRINCIPLE EXAMPLE
Perceptible Information
Television programming projected in classrooms or other meeting areas that includes captions
Tolerance for ErrorEducational software program that provides guidance when the user makes an inappropriate selection
Low Physical Effort
Doors that are easy to open by people with a wide variety of physical characteristics demonstrate the application of this principle
Size & Space for Approach & Use
Adjustable table to accommodate any individuals height and size
![Page 37: Tools for the Classroom and the Center Debbie Jones, Disability Specialist Humanitas, Inc. Del-Jen/Horizons Youth Services Joint Academic and Career Technical.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac6d26/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
The use of Universal Design improves
overall accessibility for all students and
creates a more inclusive atmosphere. It
does not, however, replace the obligation
to accommodate qualified individuals with
disabilities.

Teaching Learning Strategies
Why do students with learning disabilities need to become strategic learners?

Teaching Learning Strategies Assess the student’s awareness of
the strategy to be used. Provide opportunities for students to
discuss, reflect upon, and practice the strategies with classroom materials and authentic tasks.
Provide feedback. Gradually have the student select
the learning strategy to use for a particular activity or assignment.
![Page 43: Tools for the Classroom and the Center Debbie Jones, Disability Specialist Humanitas, Inc. Del-Jen/Horizons Youth Services Joint Academic and Career Technical.](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032601/56649dd15503460f94ac6d26/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Teaching Learning Strategies Provide instruction, review, and
provide feedback until the student is able to self-select and apply learning strategies effectively.
