Final Project Topic

For my final TE 448 Blog project, I am going to focus on learning disabilities. What draws me to this subject area is that when going to our placements each week, I see students all around that have different learning styles, some of which I believe to be the beginning signs of a learning disability. As a teacher, I want to be effective in guiding every student towards learning and if I cannot understand how certain students are affected, I cannot do that. Some learning disabilities are less severe than others, nonetheless just as important to be knowledgeable about. I want to know what teaching styles are the best for certain learning styles and what else I can do to help a particular student learn, despite their disability.
