We still don’t completely understand it, even with the work that has been done. I hope that schools will learn to understand NLD and make the accommodations necessary to help NLD students to be more successful. I know from personal experience that if the proper accommodations are not made, it can make school extremely difficult for NLD students.

  • Assistive Technology

    Assistive technology is often used by individuals with a learning disability. A learning disability “describes a neurobiological disorder in which a person’s brain works or is structured differently” (Lee1). A person’s abilities can be severely affected from a learning disability. They may listen differently, talk differently, write, spell, organize, and work with school subjects in a different way. Learning disabilities also affect people’s individual and personal lives to a great extent. According to the National Institutes of Health, one in seven children has a learning disability. The disability manifests itself when the child shows difficulty in reading, writing, spelling, and conversing with others. The added time they need to process information may make them seem less intelligent then others around them, but this is not the case. Individuals with learning disabilities are just as smart as anyone else; they just need to learn in a different way. The earlier a learning disability is noticed and detected, the earlier a child may be able to learn how to deal with or compensate for it (Lee 1). This is where assistive technology comes into play.

Even though it was time consuming, I feel much better using the DRDP. It determines the child strength and weaknesses. I really did not like this assessment tool because I do not know, if I did it right. I try my best with this assessment. Hopefully, next time I do better on it. Also, it was time consuming that I could not get all the information on it. Since, I am more familiar with the DRDP than the observation worksheet data and analysis. I would chose the DRDP better; even though, it is also time consuming, but I already know how to use it. It is very conveniently for teachers because the teacher will know what to include in their activities for the child to master the level and comprehend the material.

    Educational assessment typically is recommended when a student has not met academic expectations. There are various standardized tests and methods that can be useful identifying a student’s academic strengths, weaknesses, competence with specific material, yet other factors may explain a discrepancy in ability-namely limitations resulting physical or cognitive impairments.

Due to these technological advances, computer-assisted psychological assessment (CAPA) is replacing paper-and-pencil as the norm for psychological testing (Cohen, Swerdlik, & Sturman, 2013). These psychological tests can be purchased on discs that can be administered and scored online. These online tests provide relative simplicity and convenience when testing individuals, as well as provide a large range of testing activities (Cohen, Swerdlik, & Sturman, 2013).
