Accomodations for students with Turner Syndrome is a strategy understood that can help a child learn, grow and feel supported. Foster a positive learning experience by understanding your role, how you can assert helpful strategies, as well as sharing the responsibility with the education team.
Yes, the Turner Syndrome Foundation’s ‘Teacher’s Guide‘ is a resource guide that parents and teachers find helpful in understanding specific accommodations that are helpful for students of all ages. It comes in a pack of five that allows everyone on the education team to understand strategies for optimal learning.
Not exactly. There are many reasons beyond the diagnosis of Turner Syndrome that may illustrate the need for special accommodations in a classroom. Additionally, many school districts do not recognize non verbal learning disability (NLD) as a diagnosis. There are other disabilities that could be used to obtain services for your child if NLD is not recognized. These include:
An evaluation by the special education staff in the school (also referred to as the child study team) is often used to determine what supports and services are necessary to best address the student’s needs.
In-house workshops and education programs help educate teachers about the issues that may be seen in the classroom, particularly when it comes to the matter of teaching students with learning disabilities
Small class sizes often help provide more individualized attention to students with learning difficulties as could classroom aides in regular classrooms. Not all students with NLD or Turner’s syndrome require a smaller class. This is something that should be discussed with educational personnel at your child’s school.
Extended education and enrichments provide advanced learning experiences for those who are not as challenged as they could be by the normal curriculum provided in the classroom. These classes go into more depth with the different subjects offered in the traditional curriculum and provide more challenging material to master. Extended education and/or enrichment may be provided to students who have advanced or gifted abilities in certain areas.
Homework performance can be improved by following a few strategies including:
Test-taking can be very stressful for students with learning disabilities but some accommodations can be used to make these experiences easier for those who qualify for them. Talk to your child’s teacher and/or special ed. personnel to see if your child may qualify for these accommodations. Untimed tests if the test is being timed for other students. This will reduce anxiety over the amount of time that is being given for the test.
Some proactive measures can be utilized to fend off or overcome hurdles. These include:
