You will learn how to select instructional strategies according to an understanding of a student’s neuro-cognitive profile. Dr. Naglieri will explore different types of processing disorders which are best defined as neurocognitive disabilities associated with different regions of the brain. These disorders affect complex decision making, focus and resistance to distractions, visual/verbal spatial ability and visual/verbal sequencing. Dr. Naglieri will then show you how to accurately identify students with specific learning disabilities, including ADHD and autism. He will discuss how proper assessment of students can lead to more effective classroom teaching. Dr. Naglieri will present case studies that illustrate how students with a specific learning disability can be identified and most importantly how to select instruction that is most beneficial given each student’s learning needs. You will learn practical instructional methods that work; and just as importantly, you will learn why these methods work.
