Madison Lihs September 21, 2023 Educational Strategy 2: Learners with LD Students with learning disabilities, like dyslexia, face a series of obstacles everyday in their classrooms and everyday life. Dyslexia makes reading, word recognition, decoding and spelling especially hard to do and understand for students, despite a normal cognitive ability. Dyslexic students would benefit from assistive technology (AT) because it can mediate problems like writing and spelling. And while not all students with dyslexia are behind their peers in cognition or other developments, AT can help provide information in another format that works best for them so they can be successful students as well and there are many extensions and apps that can be provided for dyslexic students to use so they can accomplish their goals and stay on track to graduate with their peers and with good grades. I know for me personally, having a visual aid that wasn’t reading was beneficial for me to help understand some content in my classes, and while that doesn’t always work for everyone, it would help a student with dyslexia. In order to help that student as best I can; I would provide alternative formats for notes, such as the notes we do in this class that are easier to follow along with and the student will not feel like they are frantically trying to catch up for feel like they are missing key points trying to read and take notes. Typing notes could also be beneficial because it might be faster and typing (if you do it enough) can become muscle memory. I could also provide an alternative project such as creating a short film about the unit covered in class, or while students are doing a historical research paper, the student with dyslexia is offered an extension and the option to do a short film, that way they do not have to write. When used

correctly, technology can be our best friend in the classroom and be extremely inclusive for students.
