Resources for Teachers Supporting Learning Disabilities

Resources for teachers supporting learning disabilities are strategies, tools, and instructional approaches designed to help students with conditions such as dyslexia, dyscalculia, dysgraphia, ADHD, and developmental language disorder (DLD) access learning in ways that work for them. These resources address the unique processing and learning needs of students, making classrooms more inclusive and allowing every learner to reach their potential.

• Use structured instruction: Break lessons into clear, manageable steps and provide direct, explicit teaching rather than assuming students will pick things up on their own.
• Incorporate multisensory supports: Combine visual, auditory, and hands-on learning methods to help students process information in ways that match their strengths.
• Adjust pacing and provide tools: Allow extra time, flexible pacing, and use resources like graphic organizers, audio books, and manipulatives to reduce overwhelm and support skill development.
