This presentation will focus on helping students who learn differently achieve competencies in and out of the regular education classroom. We will discuss barriers these children experience and how we can help them use strategies to overcome them, while they learn alongside their peers. We will also explore the teacher’s role in the student’s development of these strategies, as they work toward students accessing and using their own toolbox independently. Participants will be encouraged to be mindful of a particular student profile, who they can focus on, to help those students be more successful in the upcoming year.
