COURSE DESCRIPTION
Individuals with language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) generally have significantly reduced language capabilities that make learning difficult. As students with language-based learning disabilities move into high school, the reading, writing, and executive function demands necessary for being successful in the content areas intensify and can create challenging experiences. This course is designed to provide a concise overview of current research in the field, including an overview of the characteristics of language-based learning disabilities (LBLD) and best practices for language-based instruction that enable students to learn and perform more successfully in today’s high school classrooms. Practical strategies, activities, and techniques for presenting skills tied to classroom practice that any educator can implement will be shared, discussed, and practiced. As a result, general and special educators can position their curriculum and employ these recommendations and strategies to help the high school student with language-based learning disabilities succeed.
