Special Needs Accommodation:
Students who have dyslexia, ADHD, or ADD will most likely be present in my classroom. I will
make sure students have plenty of time to take notes, and will post presentations at the beginning
of the school day in case students miss any notes during the lecture. I will make sure to spend
more time assisting students with learning disabilities to ensure that they will be successful in my
class.
