There are all types of emotional, behavioral and physical disabilities, to name a few. Certain disabilities unfortunately pose learning difficulties for students. All students are different and will not have the same problems or even the same learning styles. These students will need a modified curriculum and specialized instruction. One student may learn best by using real-life strategies, while another student will learn best through simple repetition. Some difficulties they may face are learning skills needed for daily living, socializing with others, and even certain types of job skills. It is important for an educator to be equipped with many different effective teaching strategies; examples can be found below. The more knowledge they have, the better equipped they will be during their educational training and in their daily lives. Defining Disorders It is essential for an educator to know exactly what each disorder means. Emotional disorders are “behavioral problems, often internal, manifested by difficulties expressing emotions evoked in normal daily experiences” (Hardman, 2011). Behavioral disorders are “conditions in which individuals’ emotional or behavioral responses differ significantly from those of their peers and seriously impact their relationships” (Hardman, 2011). Physical disabilities are “impairments that can affect a person's ability to move, use their arms and legs, and/or breathe independently” (Hardman, 2011). Health disorders include weakness of a student which is the consequence of any type of health problem. Head injuries are injuries resulting from a major impact on the skull. This can happen in different ways.Educational strategiesEmotional and behavioral disordersThere... middle of paper ......th story.
