Recent research confirms that we can teach students with learning disabilities how to learn. We can put them into a position to compete! Here are the strategies that work:
Lee Swanson (1999) and his colleagues found two major intervention practices that produced large outcomes. One is direct instruction. The other is learning strategy instruction.
Teachers who were applying those kinds of intervention:
a. brake learning into small steps;
b. administer probes;
c. supply regular quality feedback;
d. use diagrams, graphics and pictures to augment what they were saying in words;
e. provide ample independent, well-designed, intensive practice;
f. model instructional practices that they wanted students to follow;
g. provide prompts of strategies to use; and
h. engage students in process type questions like. How is that strategy working? Where else might you apply it?
Something else that seems to make a real difference is the practice of scaffolding. Start out with heavily teacher-mediated instruction - explicit instruction – then as students begin to acquire the skill, moving down the continuum to more student-mediated instruction.
