learn?
In the interest of better serving my already differentiated specialneeds learners, I have distributed a survey to best categorize their
overall learning style in the effort to better teach them individually and
as a whole. This process was eye opening for me; more so than I
thought possible for such a differentiated group of learners. With
intellectual disabilities ranging from (low and high functioning) Autism
to Oppositional Defiance Disorder to Other Health Impairment, there is
no doubt that my students learn at different paces, and with different
styles. As best as I try to differentiate their learning, this survey
showed the over all average percentage of learning styles, and will
dictate future lessons. Most, if not all, of my learners averaged similar
learning styles, with few variances among them. Below is the data I
have collected, as well as a chart dictating the learning styles that my
students identify most with.
