A learning disability is a hidden disability in that it is not readily observable by others and only becomes apparent when an person is required to read, listen to, write or compute content.

I learned there are many resources available for our Veterans and students with TBI.  We as instructors should continue to educate ourselves on various learning strategies to help these students. As instructors we are not here to enable students but offer support, respect and understanding.  

Personally, I was not aware of the IEP developmental plan students had available for them in their younger educational years.  What a wonderful tool for the educational program to have developed.  It's was emotional overwhelming to know the statistics of these younger children to have developed PTSD.  As an educator for adults, I appreciated knowing this information and how it can impact how I approach my students and teaching skills. 

having a respect for other people languages preferences, strenghts, and challenges can create a more supportive learning environment.

I learn there is a right and wrong way to give accommodations to students 

Students will make mistakes but it is vital to allow them to recovery from mistakes.

Students learn in different ways and it is important to explore all the ways that students can learn 

Having accommodations for students is important to allowing them to learn 

From this module I learned that there are alot of legal aspects to students with disabilities and I should be aware of them to ensure a good learning space.

For this class, I learned that being an instructor I should be aware of all the different disabilities that students may have to ensure a successful learning environment
