My Project

Children with learning disabilities may have problems with Academics, social, home, emotional aspects and hearing disabilities. They may overcome these problems through attending special education classes and having wireless headphones.

The primary responsibility of any post-secondary education provider is to deliver the best possible academic experience for all students.

Students may reach their goals and realize their potential in different ways – and this is true particularly for students who have a disability.

Staff may encounter students who are mildly or severely hearing or sight impaired, who have long or short term medical disabilities, mobility disabilities, psychiatric or psychological disabilities, or a learning disability. In the context of inclusive teaching practices which enhance the learning of all students, it is useful to have a basic understanding of the implications that a specific disability or health condition may have in order to better meet the needs of students.
