Correct Answer - Option 3 : teaching a variety of skills and strategies that can be applied across a range of contexts
Children with learning disability experience difficulty in learning and using certain skills namely reading, writing, listening, reasoning and mathematics. Learning disability is an invisible disability. The child usually appears normal in every aspect except that his learning difficulties limit his progress in school.
Ways to increase the chances of learning disabled students are-
- Students with specific learning difficulties may require resource support for meeting their individual needs.
- This support can be provided in their classroom after school hours or if possible, in another small room during school hours.
- The support can be provided on a one-to-one basis or in a small group.
- providing adequate space in the classroom for keeping learning aids etc
- promoting success by making use of appropriate tasks and strategies
-
resource support in language, mathematics and for teaching them learning strategies on weekly basis. The skills of these children can improve significantly with appropriate interventions.
- giving extra time for tests, taking shorter tests learning spellings of different words than their peers
Thus from above-mentioned points, it is clear that the best way to increase the chances of learning disabled students is by teaching a variety of skills and strategies that can be applied across a range of contexts.
