ADD/ADHD
I have taught many students who were medically diagnosed as ADD or ADHD. Several of these students were given special accommodations for learning (extra time on tests, special seating arrangements, additional teacher assistance and monitoring, specialized homework & classwork assignments/testing, etc.). Often, there was a Special Education teacher in the classroom to accommodate the student for "Inclusion Teaching."
Aspergers
I have taught a sixth grade student with Aspergers. This student, like many children with Aspergers, was especially bright in a particular area of study, but a lower-level learner in other areas. I had this particular student in my Homeroom Class and my Language Arts Class for one year. His exceptional area was Math, but he was always eager to learn in my Language Arts Class. He was very sweet, gentle, respectful and kind to everyone. I worked one-on-one with this student many times throughout the year. He was successful in passing my Language Arts Class.
