Filler Activity

Thirty-nine seventh- and eighth-grade students with learning disabilities received verbal and spatial information about eighteenth-century North American battles under two conditions. In the control condition, learners were provided a map depicting locations of battles, accompanied by descriptive/decorative pictures. Mnemonic condition learners received the same map with the exception that pictures accompanying place names represented reconstructed keywords of those names. In both conditions, pictures were colored red if they represented British victories, blue if they represented American victories. After a training session and a 90-second filler activity, students were asked to locate each battle on an unlabeled map and indicate which side had won the battle. Analysis of results indicated that mnemonic condition students significantly outperformed controls on measures of spatial relocation and correct matching of place name with victor. Effects were especially pronounced on the measure of spatial relocation, in which an effect size of over two standard deviations was obtained. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

One of the learning disabilities of children with learning difficulties is a disruption in the visual-spatial aspects, especially in spatial learning such as geometry. Therefore, teaching procedures and strategies are needed that can help reduce the disorder. Given this, flat learning must emphasize planting and understanding geometric concepts. A good understanding of the concept at the beginning of the material (the introduction of flat wake) will certainly have an impact on their success in mastering the next flat building material, such as traveling around and getting up flat.Keywords: introduction of flat wake, geometry, difficulty learning mathematics

Language Needs

Word prompt programs are computer software programs or program features that are used in addition to basic word processing. These programs provide word lists from which a user selects a desired word and inserts it into a line of text. This software is used to support individuals with severe speech, physical, and learning disabilities. This tutorial describes the features of a variety of word prompt programs and reviews the current literature on the use of these programs by people with oral and written language needs. In addition, a matrix that identifies the features contained in eight sample word prompt programs is provided. The descriptions of features and the matrix are designed to assist speech-language pathologists and teachers in evaluating and selecting word prompt programs to support their clients' oral and written communication.
