NASET’s LD Report
Students Coping with Dyslexia in General Education Classrooms
By Michelle Norman
This issue of NASET’s LD Report was written by Michelle Norman. Coping with dyslexia can be frustrating for a student in general education classes. The mainstream model which is typically used for most students with dyslexia, can be successful if the teacher has the knowledge or background to provide the appropriate interventions so that a student with dyslexia can learn to cope. In an inclusive class, a student with dyslexia typically will avoid reading aloud or answering questions and this behavior can be interpreted as an uninterested or unmotivated student when in reality the student is struggling to cope. In conclusion, a multisensory approach in a regular education classroom setting will give a student with dyslexia the tools to be able to cope. Therefore, the implication is to educate and train teachers to understand the effects that dyslexia has on student learning and the accommodations a student needs to succeed in a general classroom setting.

This week's trivia question:
Trisomy 18 is a rare chromosomal disorder in which all or a critical region of chromosome 18 appears three times (trisomy) rather than twice in cells of the body. In some children, the chromosomal abnormality may be present in only a percentage of cells, whereas other cells contain the typical chromosomal pair (mosaicism). Children diagnosed with trisomy 18 have a low birth weight, multiple birth defects and defining physical characteristics. Trisomy 18 may be a life-threatening condition; some affected die before birth or within the first month of life. Some individuals have survived to their teenage years and beyond, with a range of medical and developmental needs. What is the specific syndrome name associated with Trisomy 18?
