OBJECTIVE 9
Designed, adapted and implemented
teaching strategies that are responsive to
learners with disabilities, giftedness and
talents
PROMPT #1
Context: Ana is often seen restless or unfocused in class. She also has
troubles following instructions and skips activities when left unsupervised.
Action Taken: You had a conference with her parents and found out from
them that Clara was diagnosed with a learning disability.

How will you modify the instructions for Clara to keep her focus on
classroom activities? Write your reflections in this form. Mention in your
reflections a specific learning disability that you are familiar with or have
researched on.

Your Reflections
The action taken in the prompt states that a conference was held
and it was divulged by the parents of Clara that she has a learning disability.
However, it was not mentioned in the conference what learning disability
Clara has. In this case, the first thing that I will do is to clarify to her parents
what is the specific learning disability that she has. With this, I can determine
the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats of the situation of
Clara. Moreover, the data that I will gather will serve as my basis in
modifying my teaching methods, styles, techniques, and approaches to meet
the needs of Clara without excluding her from her classmates.

A learning disability is a neurological condition that interferes with the brain's

ability to send, receive, and process information. People with learning
disabilities may struggle with reading, writing, spelling, and math.
The following are common learning disabilities.
 Dyslexia or reading disorder
 Dyscalculia or math disorder
 Dysgraphia or writing disorder
 Dyspraxia or problems with motor skills.
 Dysphasia/Aphasia or language disorder
 Auditory processing disorder
 Visual processing disorder

Reflecting on the learning disabilities above, it seems that Clara is not

suffering from any of the mentioned learning disabilities. The challenges that
Clara experienced include restless or unfocused in class, difficulty in
following instructions, and skipping activities when left unsupervised. Based
on these challenges, it can be assumed that Clara has Attention Deficit
Disorder or ADD an older term for what is now known as the inattentive type
of ADHD or Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. ADD is not a learning
disability but it plays a crucial role in making a learner with ADD difficult to
learn. Specifically, it makes the learner difficult to focus. 

The following are the ways that I am going to implement to make Clara stay
focused on my classroom instruction and activities

1) I will place her in front of the classroom to prevent her from being
distracted by other students.
2) I will reduce unnecessary classroom decorations to prevent her from
being distracted from these visual stimuli.
3) I will use words that are suited to her level and her classmates.
4) I will present the lesson in smaller chunks to make sure that each part of
the lesson is understood well.
5) I will divide the learning tasks into smaller sub-skills. This means that I will
divide my learning tasks into small units. This will prevent her from being
overwhelmed by the complexity of the lesson and the tasks.
6) I will make her and her classmates active learners by giving activities that
let them share their thoughts and collaborate with others.
7) I will ask her and some of her classmates to update the class on their
activity at a given time interval. This will help her in focusing on her activity
and prevent her from shifting from doing other things.
8) I will schedule short breaks in my class to let my students regain their
focus. 
9) I will make her feel secured.
