Students individualized education program (IEP)
The term IEP is used to refer to the special program or plan that is created with a specific student in mind due to the disability that they have in class which prevents them to learn as fast or with ease as the others in the class. In this instance, the student has special learning disability and needs to be helped through the IEP in order to get an environment that is conducive for his learning and a team that is assistive as much as possible. The student has difficulty in reading skills and also has difficulty in decoding, comprehension and fluency. These predispose him to be socially removed from peers and there is need to have IEP that would help him in the subjects in class and the social life too.
The seven components of the IEP to be use for the student with special earning disability are; the present level of academic achievement, which will help guide the drafting of the IEP in line with the expected performance levels against the actual achievement. The second component is the annual goals which must be measurable plus the benchmarks or the short-term objectives to these annual goals. The third aspect is the extent to which...
The fourth is the services that are necessary to enable the student with the learning disability benefit from education experience. These services may involve speech pathology, counselling, physical and occupational therapy among other services. The fifth aspect is the expected date of commencement of the participation in the IEP. The sixth aspect is the program testing modification which will help the IEP team decide whether the student needs accommodation in the district testing or any other. The last component is the statement on the length of the duration and how the assessment of the student will be measured.
The planning team will be made up of the parents, the physical therapist, the assistant principal of the school, his class teacher, special education resource teacher and a counsellor. This team will work on an IEP that will be suitable for the students and offer least restrictive environment (LRE). LRE is one of the principles that guide the education of students with disabilities and requires that the students with learning disabilities…

Conclusion For the new teacher, the most important factor in resolving issues concerning students with learning disabilities is to recognize the high incidence of depression and other emotional disturbances that go along with it. Early treatment and intervention can improve the outcome for the child.

The basic idea is to provide these individuals with technology that they can use to help them effectively deal with the issues that they are facing. A few of the most notable solutions that we will be using include: the Braille / Braille Embosser, FM radio systems, Hear It devises, tape recorders, victor reader waves for audio books, victor reader streams for audio books, Handi Cassette II (talking book),
Inclusion of Disabilities in the Classroom During the later years of the 20th century and the start of the new millennium, it has become abundantly clear that we are living in an increasingly diverse world. Indeed, the diversity of the world has increased not only in terms of race and nationality, but also in terms of ability and aptitude. So recognized have these differences become that that accommodations have been made
Best practices that help students with learning disabilities consistently focus on early intervention not only for educational benefit, but also because early intervention promotes greater social skills ability and development among children (Wong & Donahue, 2002). The sooner a child is integrated into the mainstream system and learns to "cope" with any perceived "deficits" the more likely they are to build healthy and long-lasting friendships that will help them as
Chocolate Chip Cookies and Rubrics: Helping Students Understand Rubrics in Inclusive Settings by Elizabeth W. Hall and Susan J. Salmon explains the importance of using rubrics in the classroom and contains useful information about the use of rubrics for the teachers and students alike. The article effectively explains the usefulness of rubrics for students in understanding the performance expectations of different assignments, as a self-evaluation tool for assessing their strengths
The shift toward standardized testing has failed to result in a meaningful reduction of high school dropout rates, and students with disabilities continue to be marginalized by the culture of testing in public education (Dynarski et al., 2008). With that said, the needs of students with specific educational challenges are diverse and complex, and the solutions to their needs are not revealed in the results of standardized testing (Crawford &
