Hi,
Are there any university courses on “Teaching students with LD or Dyslexia” ?
are there any special programs that teach (teachers) how to teach the students with LD ?
if so, can any of you point me where thse courses are available in US ?
Re: Learning How to teach
The best course I took was called The Special Child.
But every university has these courses. The education department or the psychology department.
Training in a good multisensory reading methodology like Orton Gillingham or Lindamood Bell should be your first step. Not only will you gain some excellent teaching techniques that are applicable to a wide veriety of learners and programs but you will gain a solid understanding of language development and the cognitive processes that contribute to the successful development of reading skills.
