Online learning has the potential to reduce social anxieties associated with the learning environment, develop skills needed in the 21st century and improve executive functioning. This presentation will explore the various learning differences most commonly experienced by educational therapists and their associated treatment recommendations given by neuropsychologists through the lens of online teaching. Our discussion will focus on how today’s assistive technologies empower students with dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD, and auditory or visual processing issues.
Participants will be able to: describe the benefits of technology-based learning; explain how today’s assistive technology empowers populations who learn differently; apply different aspects of educational technologies in the context of individualized learning programs to improve various learning skills and reduce anxieties; analyze the effectiveness of novel methodologies for online education; and explain why online learning is highly beneficial in helping students with learning differences and warrants further use in educational therapy.
