Content: Participate in Early Screening
Early identification of a potential learning disability is vital to a child’s long-term outlook. 1 ﻿ In order to begin to implement supportive measures early on, schools should begin screening for disabilities during early childhood and every time a new student enters their school. This way, students will begin to receive help before they miss out on important concepts such as reading. Individualize Education Plans
When a student is diagnosed with a learning disability, it is important for an individualized education plan (IEP) to be developed that will identify the areas in which a student struggles so that the proper supports can be put in place to encourage their success. Understanding the IEP Process
Increase Accessibility
A student should be able to move freely within a school to the best of their abilities. Therefore, wheelchair access, handrails and other types of accessibility devices should be installed anywhere that a student may need to go in a building. For a student with a learning disability, this can also mean including access to a variety of study materials that are in a format that they can understand. Educate Teachers and Staff
Because disabilities cover a broad range of different conditions, it is common for teachers and staff to lack experience with specific disabilities. However, when they are educated about how to help a student with disabilities in their school, teachers and other staff members are more likely to feel capable of helping a student to succeed.
