Session Description

For many students with learning differences, the key to success lies in having appropriate

accommodations for instruction and other classroom activities. These changes help a student access the general education curriculum in a way that makes the most sense for his or her individual needs. In the current educational landscape, change is sometimes the only constant. Uncertainty and a lack of a sense of control can lead to anxiety in all students, undermining efforts at creating nurturing and stable learning environments. In this keynote, we will uncover strategies to: 

• Explore accommodation strategies to support students with various needs and ensure strategies are leveraged in the general education setting
• Examine the impact of anxiety on student development, behaviors, health, and learning
• Explore evidence-based strategies for helping students and teachers manage anxiety related to change, uncertainty, and life stressors
