One thing that probably is very important to accommodate your learning
disabilities is to use as many visual supports as possible. Here are a
list of things that need to be on your IEP accommodations page. They
will help you immensely!
*Teacher to provide desk copy of all information written on the board or overhead.
*Teacher to provide copy of notes for lectures.
*Use graphic organizers for all work that complex such as writing or understanding verbal lectures.
*Use enlarged print for handouts.
*Allow student to write in test booklet.
*Demonstrate or show completed projects before a lesson.
You can do some of these things yourself. Here is a good website to get
graphic organizers. www.eduplace.com/graphicorganizer/ There are many
more if you don't find what you need.
The reason that I suggest graphic organizers is so that you can add a
structure to your mental schemata. When ideas are organized into
concepts, then they are easier to remember. Because you are gifted,
these could be the answer to a lot of things.
Because of your learning deficits, I suspect that you are a hands on,
kinesthetic learner because these are the areas that are not impacted
by your disability. This also supports your ADHD.
Also, It may be very difficult for you to envision a whole from the sum
of it's parts, which is very common in kids with SLD. They are holistic
learners who do best when they see the big picture before parting it
out.
Here is a pretty good website for taking a detailed test. When I took it, it was quite accurate.
