This website has a great amount of information on how to identify different disabilities, as well as common characteristics of students with them and strategies to help them in the classroom. This website covers ADD, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Developmental Delay, Fetal Alcohol Syndrome, Emotional Disturbance, Intellectual Disability, Specific Learning Disability, Speech or Language Impairment, TBI, and Twice Exceptional. It also goes further and contains information on how to help students with their academic, social, and behaviour management skills. A lot of the information is aimed to younger grades, but the ideas behind the activities are still solid and helpful.
This is a short google slides production on intellectual disabilities by my classmates in my SED361 class. It includes prevalence rates, common characteristics, teacher tips, links and resources, and more.
this includes information on different services available as well as public policies for the areas. There is information that could be very helpful for parents and families on this website.
IDEAL, or Informing and Designing Education for All Learners, has very clear information and ideas on students with disabilities in many different categories (learning disabilities, speech & language, emotional disturbance, multiple disabilities, orthopedic, traumatic brain injury, intellectual, visual, hearing impairments, deaf-blindness, other health impairments, developmental delay, and autism). There are many presentations to assist you in learning about these, as well as modules that can be used for teaching. Each section has an incredible amount of information, such as the impact on the student’s education, and many many MANY ways to help them. Assistive technologies are also included, as well as lists of organizations and (even more!) resources.
This particular link to the site is a single page of a very lengthy and informative document on intellectual disabilities. There is a vast wealth of information here; this particular page focuses on effective teaching methods. However, also on this website is information on a wide variety of mental disorders, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, schizophrenia, epilepsy and more. It also addresses external problems that some students may face whether disabled or not, such as abuse, addiction, eating disorders, dating, divorce, and far more. This is definitely worth looking into.
This is a website with lots of information on many different disabilities. It offers prevalence rates, signs, tips, and more. This website is going out, but another website has taken up the currently posted information and organized it into a legacy resource section on their website. The base website itself is also a great resource for parents, whether or not they have a child with a disability. A very reliable resource for information on students with disabilities, this PDF has tips for teachers for teaching students with AD/HD, TBI, Autism, LDs, and IDs. While it is a bit dated, the information is still generally solid.
