Download or read book Special Teaching For Special Needs Methods Courses written by John Boom and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2017-10-30 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a teacher speaks to anyone there is a level of assumption that those people will understand what you say. But in the education system there are always a percentage of people that don't understand everything spoken or taught to them. The reason many kids pass through the regular and special school education system with learning issues is because they can't cope with that normal level of assumption of understanding that people assume everyone has. So these people simply can't pick things up as easy as others and they're left behind in the education system. This is why I developed" Special Teaching For Special Needs. It's to teach teachers to get down to the level of understanding needed for those others to learn and retain that information. I'm not disrespecting the hard work teachers do every day but I'm trying to point out that some people need to be taught differently to cope with the everyday learning process. This book is for use by teachers and for those that home-school their kids.
