Application
During my teaching experiences at the Yocum Institute, I encountered young students with Attention Deficit Disorder within the theater camps that I co-taught. I have also experienced special needs students through my observations at Riverside Elementary. Both experiences showed me how to adapt to students and their learning disabilities without drawing too much attention to their disability but still being a support system for that student.
