Supporting Children with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) and Speech and Language Impairments

Now that you have a solid understanding of inclusion, collaboration, and the evidence-based strategies you can use to support children with exceptionalities, it is time to take that knowledge and begin to apply it. Doing this will help you to solidify your understanding of how to meet the needs of the children that you will work with. For this discussion you will focus on applying evidence-based strategies to meet the needs of children with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD) and/or Speech and Language Impairments (SLI).

To prepare for this discussion,

Please refer to the Week Four Guidance for further tips and examples that will support your success on this discussion

Choose one child with a Specific Learning Disability and one child with a Speech and Language Impairment from the interactive ECD 310 Week 4 Discussion 1: Application of Key Learning for Diverse Learners in Inclusive Environments Disability Impairment Image (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site..

In your post,

Put the names of the two children you chose to write about in the subject line of your post.

Summarize the delay/disability/disorder that was diagnosed for the two children you have chosen. In your summary include a brief description of the delay/disability/disorder, the developmental milestones the child would be struggling to meet, and the characteristics the child would be displaying.

Explain, for each child, one developmentally appropriate evidence-based strategy that you would use with the child to maximize development and why you chose it. You can pull a strategy from the Week Three discussions, your course text, or another scholarly source.

Describe how you would collaborate with other stakeholders (colleagues, families, etc.) about the implementation and effectiveness of the strategy you chose.
