Instructional Strategies for Students with Disabilities (15 hours)

Instructional Strategies for Students with Disabilities (15 hours)

Teaching students with special needs can be both rewarding and challenging, even on the best of days. Students with disabilities have unique requirements, learning preferences, strengths, and social skills. In today’s inclusive classrooms, these students can make significant progress in their social, emotional, and academic growth.

This course explores a range of special needs, how they manifest in the classroom; including neurodevelopmental conditions ASD and ADHD. Children with such conditions often face differences in communication as well as common struggles and challenges. Teachers are presented with a range of strategies, accommodations, and tools to support these students academically and foster positive relationships with peers and others. Technology aids and adaptations are introduced to help address and overcome weaknesses and difficulties.

The course is rich with practical suggestions, downloadable resources, and demonstration videos that educators can readily incorporate into their teaching methods. The course will be used for salary advancement and recertification.

  • The course provided information that was helpful for my work with students, as well as benefits my role as a Counselor Educator. All three sections provided a detailed overview of the topic and accompanying literature that is relevant and timely. The practical applications of the information will improve my work with youth and developing school counselors.

  • I am so glad I had the opportunity to take this course, because it helped me better understand some of the challenges our learners are facing during the middle and high school years.
    Gail S.
  • This was absolutely wonderful to dig deeper into! It was eye opening and I really appreciated how the course gave so many adaptations to help the children. I also was really happy to see that it wasn't suggested that every child be on medication.

  • It was like I was learning about a whole new world. I have gained great empathy for parents of autistic children as well as educators that have to deal with them longer than I have. I feel my interactions with ASD students will be richer, more rewarding after all that I have learned.
    Peggy W.
  • Having just completed the Autism course, I am so glad I took it. The content of the class will allow me to better serve my students and support their families as we work together. This course underscores the importance of regular, updated neuropsych/learner profile evaluations being completed for children and their families.
    Gail M.

  • Good review on ways to accommodate children with ADHD in the classroom setting.
    Alyssa B.
  • I appreciated the variety of (optional) resources (e.g.,videos, articles, infographics, etc.) that were available to enhance/supplement the course content presented. Likewise, I appreciated the periodic "check-in activities" to assess learning and/or provide clarification/reinforcement, if/when necessary.
