2 Day Seminars
IN-PERSON COURSE LOGISTICS
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Individuals with language-based learning disabilities (LBLD), in the context of average and above reasoning, generally have compromised academic and language skills that make learning in general education classrooms challenging. As students with LBLD move into middle and high school, the reading, writing, and executive function demands necessary for success in the content areas intensify. This 2-day seminar is designed to provide a concise overview of current research in the field, including an overview of the characteristics of LBLD and the best practices for language-based instruction. Practical strategies, activities, and techniques for presenting skill-based/strategy-based instruction and content will be shared, discussed, and practiced as a group. As a result, general and special educators can position their curriculum to integrate effective strategies that enable students with LBLD to learn and perform more successfully in today’s middle and high school classrooms.
