(Corpuz and Lucas<2007> Facilitating Learning, Module 9)

Responded by: G-one Paisones

From the module on Learners with Exceptionalities, I learned that as a teacher, I should considered and made other teaching strategies that would suit to the needs of the students with have learning disability.

I also learned the basic categories of exceptional learners such as:

· COGNITIVE DIFFICULTIES

§ Learning Disabilities

-Dyslexia

-Dyscalculia

-Dysgraphia

§ Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

§ Emotional/Conduct Disorder

§ Autism

§ Mental Retardation

· PHYSICAL DISABILITIES

§ Physical and Health Impairments

-Limited energy and strength

-Reduced mental alertness

-Little muscle control

§ Severe Disabilities

§ Visual Impairments

§ Hearing Impairments

NOTE: “I neither do nor considered Giftedness as neither physical disabilities nor health impairments”

I had also learned that through demonstrating “people first” language when referring to the exceptional learners; that will us what conditions people have, not what they are.
