Hi @DyscalculiaNet1! I frequently work in childcare settings, do you have any specific tips for making mathematics more engaging for young children with dyscalculia?
Hi @KarinMariaPsyD! I've seen you've done a lot of work on how to address SLD's in the classroom, and I'd love to get your opinion. I've read articles suggesting teaching children about metacognition could be helpful for dyslexia and dyscalculia. Do you suggest this/ at what age?
Related to the topic of how children with learning disabilities can be assisted in the classroom, here's a helpful infographic about some accommodations for students with Dyslexia.
Having a separate room in which students can complete assessments or tests typically results in better academic outcomes for students with learning disabilities!
This article provides a great base for educators addressing learning disabilities in the classroom. It is easy to comprehend and provides measures to take before and during instruction!

I'm shocked by this report - this is especially dangerous considering that employment is positively correlated with mental health of those with disabilities. #EM203ROBIN#EM203RESEARCH
Did you know that nearly a third of respondents thought that disabled people are not as productive as non-disabled people?
❌ This is a dangerous myth!
✅ Numerous studies have shown that disabled people are just as productive if not more than the wider population. #LDWeek
While inclusivity is a priority in learning environments, a wide range of abilities may make it difficult for teachers to personalize lessons for each child. Here's a great article on how to address learning disabilities in the classroom!

The first couple weeks of #EM203Robin have been very informative and interesting. I have learned a bit about my peers and the various types of learning, specifically "learning by doing". This has helped me enhance my own learning by using these methods in my day-to-day life.
@EM203Helena Hi Helena - that's a really insightful take on how we can use the skills taught through this course! Adaptability is very important in this modern age.
@EM203RabeeT The first classes really have been fun! Having a course taught through social media is an approach I've never experienced before, but a really engaging one.
@noranda0303 I agree! This has been my first time both making a comic strip and using X - I feel like this is helping me develop important skills for the digital age we're in.
@EM203MartinZulu Hi Martin, I agree this course has been very interesting so far - especially because we've had the chance to discuss these topics with our peers!
@EM203sreardon Hi Skyler, I agree - this course has been really interactive so far and definitely important as our daily communications become increasingly based in technology!
My EM203 class has been great so far! I've learned about different learning theories such as connectivism. Interestingly enough, learning can be described as something beyond us that we can "tap into"! #EM203ROBIN
