This video is about learning disabilities amongst young learners. It is specifically about ‘dysgraphia’a learning disability with writing. Take a listen if you have been told that your child has ‘bad’ handwriting or that your child does not show interest in writing. As a parent, have you had an intuitive sense that there is more to it than ‘bad’ handwriting? Has your child complained about his or her hand hurting especially while writing? Have noticed that your child able to spell the words accurately but cannot spell it when it has to be written? Despite help, has his or her handwriting been flying off the page? Do take a listen to understand this special challenge.. Note: I have said teachers and schools do not understand the condition, and that may seem like a blanket statement. I say that because there are very few schools that proactively engage in identifying and providing help with regards to learning disabilities. In general, most schools ‘refer’ the child to a specialist, if at all. But the general trend is to simply berate the point that needs a deeper understanding.. #writing #spelling #learningdisabilities #dysgraphia #psychomotorskills #earlylearners #teachertraining
For those of us who always excelled in language related tasks, at school or at work, it can be difficult to put yourself in the shoes of a child with a writing disability. This module provides a writing task that allows us to get an idea of what it might be like for our students who struggle with a writing disability. After experiencing a simulation of the struggle our students experience all day, every day, in school hopefully we can be more sympathetic to that struggle and more effective in our planning and support of those students.. The activity in this module was adapted from workshops provided by Dr. Mel Levine and Rick Lavoie, whose work can be found at. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/misunderstoodminds/writing.html. http://www.ricklavoie.com/gateindex.html
