The GED and Learning Disabled Students: Suggestions for Teaching, Testing, and Understanding the Problem.
Matson, Susan
This paper suggests techniques that teachers who prepare adult students for the General Educational Development (GED) tests can use with students who have learning disabilities. The first part of the paper presents a brief overview of symptoms exhibited by students who are learning disabled. Symptoms are classified under general behaviors, reading, mathematics, expressive language, organization, memory, processing difficulties, and difficulties with other psychological processes. The remainder of the paper focuses on classroom techniques for addressing adult students with learning disabilities. Information is included on choosing learning strategies, reducing stress, modifying teaching approaches, encouraging active student learning, providing multisensory activities, and stressing language development similar to that which is expected on the GED test.
