(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.
