5+ Ideas for Distance Learning with Learning Disabilities

5+ Ideas for Distance Learning with Learning Disabilities l Miss Rae's Teaching Blog

Teaching our students with learning disabilities requires specialized instruction from a specialized instructor. Special Education teachers are able to masterfully design lessons that include an abundance of multi-sensory tools because as we know - this is how our students with learning disabilities learn best.  But now all teachers are being asked to instruct from their computer screens, and multi-sensory instruction seems virtually impossible - pun intended!

I’m sure this won’t surprise you, but - teachers are amazing! They have been able to transition to distance learning virtually (pun intended) without any professional development and little to no distance learning resources. 

But what we do continue to have are goals for our students.

We will be able to …
-keep our students’ skills fresh
-prevent regression and
-stay connected

Even virtual relationships are important!

And here are 5+ Ideas for achieving those goals for Distance Learning with Learning Disabilities:
1. Phonemic Awareness

And make sure you are checking in on your students every day. Ask them how they are feeling. Let them know that it's okay to feel how they are feeling.

​Happy & Healthy Teaching!
