I was reading Senia’s blog today after dinner. I really enjoy the quotes she brings to our attention. Today, this one got me thinking about something I’ve noticed for some time now about my special education students: How they do anything is how they do everything. I’ve noticed that the kids with learning disabilities don’t leave their learning disabilities in the classroom when they leave. Their poor organization skills, poor social skills, their memory problems etc. follow them into their lives outside of school. Their problems follow them into the hallways of school, into their social interactions and into their jobs. I’ve talked to a lot of kids who tell me their problems and many of their problems are due to the fact that they have not yet learned strategies to help them get around their learning disabilities, or if they know the strategies, for whatever reason, chose not to use them. Learning disabilities can be a 24/7 problem.
