Activity 6

We talked about characteristics and strategies related to intellectual disabilities.

We asked you to share effective strategies you have used with adults with ID. You told us:

• Get to know the learner and what works for him/her.
• Repetition helps.
• Ask the learner to repeat things back to you to make sure he/she understood what you have asked.
• Agendas are helpful.
• Let the learner see that instructors make mistakes too.
• Humour is helpful.
