Designed to enhance direct, explicit instruction for students with language-based learning disabilities (LBLD), this two-day seminar introduces a selection of specific LBLD teaching strategies and materials to help young people achieve success in school. This is a strategy-heavy seminar with an array of supplied materials that are readily usable in a classroom. The following three core modules will be addressed: overview of language-based learning disabilities (core knowledge, best practices); organizational skills (time & materials management, planning); and academic skills (reading comprehension, vocabulary development, note-taking, pre-writing, composition).
Upon completion, participants will be able to:
- Define the fundamental concepts related to the term “language-based learning disabilities”
- Recognize and explain how to implement appropriate interventions for a student with organizational deficits
- Recognize and explain specific strategies for providing students with explicit instruction in reading comprehension, study skills, and writing skills
