General tips
- Creating a supportive learning environment, by providing open spaces, comfortable seats, possibly in a circle, a combination of audio/visual devices, objects, a variety of informative resources, such as videos, podcasts, images and pictograms on the walls, etc.
- Organising the learning environment so that teachers are not at the front room at a podium or imposing desk. It’s better that they can freely move throughout the room observing and assessing each individual.
- Creating an enjoyable environment that motivates discovery of learning, with multi-sensory classrooms with liberal use of images.
Tips for learners with dyslexia
- Organising a creative space, with harmony of colours, plenty of light, music and smells that create a positive mood for learning
Tips for learners with dyslexia, ADD and ADHD
- Creating an enjoyable environment that motivates discovering and learning.
- Involving all the senses in the learning process (especially tactile and kinaesthetic ones for those who present difficulties with visual and auditory ones).
- Usage of multisensory classroom.
Tips for learners with ASD
- To organise the environment including a general classroom layout – the distribution of spaces, furniture and materials. For learners with ASD it is important to have a low stimulus environment when compared to traditional classrooms.
