A colleague of mine asked me for some activities that I once used in my presentations to help participants understand about learning disabilities. Her request caused me to dig into materials that I had used long ago and had set aside. Consequently, I realized that as we evolve in our ‘instruction’ we sometimes cast aside some good material.
I’m including a couple activities that address how it ‘feels’ to have a learning disability here with this post. I did not create these activities so I will not take credit for them. I also found a link to a website that that provides analogies to help address this issue.
The Numbers Game Activity Instruction
A Handout Developed by a Person with Dyslexia
This website page has several analogies to help people understand what it’s like to be dyslexic: http://www.understandingdyslexia.co.uk/guide.asp.
Enjoy!
