A: In this post, I am going to be discussing some tips I would like to see implemented across all schools around BC in terms of educating Special needs children (SDC).
Special needs are often times looked upon as “different” or “weird” but actually, these differences come from a neurological problem. They could range anywhere from mild cognitive disabilities/impairment, Autism spectrum disorder (ASDs), dyslexia； they could go along with visual impairment which includes blindness/low vision, physical disability including cerebral palsy (CP)； sensory deprivation (like deafness, hearing loss, multiple disabilities, mental health conditions, cognitively impaired adults or older adult, epilepsy, seizure disorders, brain injuries, intellectual disabilities, autism, Down syndrome, Asperger Syndrome)； emotional disturbance(s) such as anxiety & stress related issues, depression, ADHD, OCD, trauma； a combination of any of those listed above or something different entirely.
There is no typical case in special education. However, every child who receives support services through DSDBC (Delta School District Board Of Education) should receive the following supports:
Educators working alongside parents and other professionals should provide a well thought out Individualized Educational Program (IEP) designed specifically for every student with SDC, regardless of whether he/she identifies themselves as having ASD / ASDs or not. These programs must include accommodations tailored to address specific areas of educational concern. A program that addresses only academic achievement without taking other factors into consideration does not meet the standard required of educators under B.C. law.
Students with SDC may benefit from additional strategies beyond simply attending school everyday.

A: Delta, BC is Canada’s newest city, located just 50 miles north of Vancouver and 10 minutes’ drive away from the Canadian border. Delta was officially incorporated as a town back in 1997； however, since 2016, it had evolved into a newly declared city—and the place many people dream of moving to because they believe it feels like paradise! But this beautiful metropolis has something else going for her besides its scenic beauty or close proximity to nature. She happens to be home to several high schools and specialized schools which specialize in serving learners who struggle with different learning disabilities. These special needs tutors offer high quality instruction and education opportunities to learners with specific educational needs, including dyslexia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), ADD/ADHD, Down Syndrome, Asperger Syndrome, Dysgraphia, Specific Language Impairment (SLI), Auditory Processing Disorders (APD), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), Prader Willi syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and other complex conditions. For those parents searching for someone to teach their children with dyslexic issues, these qualified professionals often provide intensive intervention programs that include reading courses, phonics training, spelling programs, handwriting instruction, math workshops, art lessons, music class, science labs, gym workouts, physical therapy sessions, and more. Not only that, but many of these highly trained educators bring years of experience working closely with students of various ages ranging from preschool through senior citizen level.

A: If you love helping people improve their lives through education then this could be your calling. As a private special education tutor, you’ll play a key role in supporting children who struggle with reading or other academic issues.
This isn’t just another job—you’ll work alongside a dedicated community of teachers, parents, educators and volunteers whose mission is to provide high quality services for kids with disabilities.

And as part of the Delta School District, we offer a range of services including individualized instruction, speech therapy support, school-based interventions, and afterschool programs.

A: This article explores the different ways of calming a special needs student who seems agitated during tutoring sessions. While working as teacher assistant of a classroom I noticed this often happened. Students would be sitting quietly listening to me speak but then they’d begin fidgeting their fingers or wringing their hands until finally erupting in a tantrum to get away from me.
I discovered a way to effectively calm down these hyper kids, but first I’ll describe the types of “calming” techniques you should incorporate into your teaching practice.
Types of Calming Techniques
1. Deep Breathing & Body Relaxation Technique
2. Body Movement Activities like Yoga/Quiet Time
3. Positive Affirmations & Self Talk to Calm Down
4. Use Arousal Tones/Tutoring Voice Tone
5. Play Music For Distraction Free Learning
6. Physical Therapy Exercises for Hyperactive Children
7. Visualization Activities For Quiet Kids
These techniques work because children tend toward physical activity as a distraction mechanism to relieve stress during challenging situations. When stressed (like being stuck with a homework assignment), children naturally try to find something physical to do. So, instead of just letting students sit passively and listen to instructions, engage them in some active learning activities like yoga positions they can follow along with. These exercises have proven effective with my class full of hyperactive boys. They learn better than the typical student too — they’re motivated enough to complete work without getting frustrated. But remember to use these methods sparingly and only as an alternative to other strategies like giving verbal praise and rewarding behavior. Once you’ve tried them, you won’t ever go back to those old strategies again 🙂

A: There is no magic bullet but I am going to take some time today and talk through my experiences with teaching specific disabilities like dyslexia, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Asperger’s Syndrome, Dyscalculia, Generalized Anxiety, Learning Disabilities… And yes, those who teach special needs have had many struggles too – they aren’t perfect teachers either ；) However, this video is for people thinking about whether it would be worthwhile getting involved, as well as existing teachers who want more support.
I use these strategies which work every day with lots of children including adults, to show readers how it CAN BE DONE, without being annoying, intrusive & making everyone feel uncomfortable around me, and I’m sharing a bunch of things that I have learned along the way with anyone who wants to learn more than just “do stuff”.
So please watch carefully because I believe that this material offers real value and can really help improve a lot of peoples lives. If you have dyslexic kids then you’ll find that most of this applies to ALL kinds of learning difficulties； I used Dyslexia/ADHD terminology back when this was recorded but since I’ve updated my own approach to dealing with learning differences I prefer ’dyslexics’ and ’ADD’ nowadays 🙂 Also note that I tend to deal with ADD/ADHD types differently from other learners, especially social anxiety sufferers. Those other types can often benefit from working on one part of their brain only at times – see why below....

A: 1.) Home Schools
2.) Private Lessons
3.) Online Classes & Tuition
4.) School Board Programs
5.) Group Education Services
6.) Outreach Programs
7.) Community Organizations.
8.) Summer Camps.
9.) School Based Program.
10.) Other Methods.
11.) Conclusion.
We hope this article helps those who wish to become involved in helping kids learn to read better. We believe every child deserves a strong foundation of reading literacy to thrive in today’s world.

A: While most people take special needs education for granted, for many children and adults living with some form of disability around the globe they represent significant obstacles regarding opportunities to learn. Some disabilities are easily identified； however other issues present greater challenges to educators who seek to provide effective instruction. They include mental health conditions like depression and anxiety disorders which can be just as debilitating as physical maladies including cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, seizure disorders and Down syndrome. Other common challenges for individuals enrolled in educational programs include difficulties with sensory processing and communication barriers due to hearing loss, speech impediments, visual impairments and cognitive deficits caused by brain injuries or congenital birth defects. Children with medical concerns related to pregnancy and childhood illnesses may face challenges during infancy and early years development, while adult learners struggling with ageism may find themselves disadvantaged if unable to complete necessary post secondary studies.
In fact, according to Statistics Canada’s 2011 General Household Survey only 50% of Canadians ages 15+ report having sufficient knowledge to understand how well schools address the specific needs of disabled schoolchildren. While progress has certainly improved education outcomes for these youth and in recent decades more funding dedicated towards addressing student disability has increased accessibility across multiple sectors, gaps still persist despite ongoing advocacy efforts by organizations supporting vulnerable populations. Consequently, many Canadian families remain unprepared for their child’s first foray into schooling or struggle to cope with unexpected changes to established routines following diagnosis. As part of this study, I conducted a community consultation meeting with parents residing in Delta B.C. whose children either attend mainstream elementary schools and/ or participate in regular supplementary resource services. Parents reported being concerned about possible accommodations given their own experience in dealing with similar situations. These discussions revealed additional information on parental perceptions of local policies that would shape attitudes towards accommodating unique needs including the availability of specialized preschool services, alternative types of childcare facilities, parental support groups and accessible housing options.
