Did the simulation help you better understand LD? If so, how?
Before analyzing the role of simulation, in a pre-simulation phase, I had very little knowledge on how it can impact people with learning disability (LD). Sometimes, understanding persons with LD is difficult. Learning disability is a broad thing and includes dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia. Something I noted of significance is that LDs does not necessarily translate to learning incapability, but it simply means a disparity in the learning process of every student. Therefore, through adopting different methods of teaching, every student has a unique way of grasping details as long as the right channels are used. In brief, the use of simulation for LDs students does not mean that a person is of low IQ, but it just means that a person’s brain functions differently.
While completing the simulation, were there things you wished you had (e.g., more time?), or that you could do (e.g., refer to your notes) that would help you? If so, what were they?
Delegate your assignment to our experts and they will do the rest.
Some things are useful in the simulation process. An additional guide can be helpful in understanding the concepts of learning disability and how to guide affected persons. While going through the simulation process, time was not a shortfall, but I thought of making simulation an actuality. There should be a way to make it more usable and understandable to those people with a learning disability. Different strategies can be used besides simulations in the process of helping students with such disabilities.
Given the information above, what supports or accommodations could you provide to students in your class with LD?
First, I would make my students understand that they are not stupid or they have low IQ. Instead, I would make them believe that using simulation as a study method is to make them grasp concepts differently and that they are designed in a way to use such tools for learning. Having noted that there are different types of disabilities such as those linked to reasoning, arithmetic, speaking, and reading; I would resort to different accommodations such as prolonged time besides using the right technologies to aid the learning disabilities.
