Tips for teaching

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Great story with some nice tips for teachers to help students with learning disabilities. Some are more practical than others but I want to draw you to a super quote in the article:

It is a disservice to underestimate the intelligence and potential for success of students with a learning disability and other disabilities. Learning disabilities are not indicative of low intelligence. Some of the most daunting disabilities have been overcome by some of the world’s most successful people. Galileo had a visual impairment. Elton John has epilepsy. James Earl Jones had a speech impediment. John F. Kennedy had a learning disability. Howard Hughes had OCD, as does David Beckham. Winston Churchill and Teddy Roosevelt suffered from bipolar disorder, as do Buzz Aldrin and Jim Carrey.

Dyscalculia and Art

Dyscalculia: News from the web:

Here’s a couple of quotes:

“Problems centred in the left side of the brain like Asperger’s, ADD, dyslexia, dyscalculia and motor skills can be improved through art therapy.

“There’s much neurological research done that shows we’re increasing the right side of the brain through colour and visualising and using cognitive interaction.

“Problem-solving is a creative process and art is very beneficial to reduce stress and anxiety.”
