Although it is not outwardly noticeable to his friends, he struggles with processing information, especially in math. Most of his problem seems to stem from difficulty keeping up in class. What could you do as his teacher? Be specific. I chose this scenario because I have a student in my first grade class who also had intellectual disabilities and we create many different activities and games for him to be able to learn the same material as everyone else, but in a different way to which he can understand it. Another way we have helped this student is giving him a buddy. This buddy sits next to him, partners with him in certain assignments, and basically is always there to help him when he needs it. By doing this both the student with the disability and the helper benefit from the experience. It gives the student with the disability better social skills and makes him to feel more comfortable in class and the helping student learns how to work with a child that he might not necessary understand how to work will and handle before. The kids become better at working with others and those that can be different then them.
