Learning Styles of Adults with Learning Disabilities |
A worthwhile testing series for
adults with learning disabilities to take is for finding out your dominant
learning style. Are you strongest as an auditory, visual or kinesthetic
learner? Perhaps you have a combination of learning styles with one of them the
strongest.
Knowing your personal learning styles help you grasp the same end result in a
way that may be different from the person sitting next to you. And that is okay
for both of you.
Because I have a hearing disability I have learned to be a good visual learner.
I look hard at words and pictures to memorize them and later can describe a
diagram from memory. But maybe you learn by listening to oral directions and
follow the sequence that way to come to an end result.
Or, maybe your dominant style is learning kinesthetically, by feeling movement
and moving; feeling the flow and shapes of letters and numbers, discovering the
rhythms of language, the syllables of words, the patterns of math from simple
combinations to geometry.
Here's a little experiment you can do yourself to discover your strongest
learning style.
Go to a dance concert or musical, or an event with music to listen to and
people to watch moving. What impressions stick with you? The music you listened
to? (auditory learning). The visual impact of costumes, stage lighting, sets in
the background? (visual learning). The movements and dances? (kinesthetic
learning). This will give you an idea of whether you are more tuned in to
listening, visual impressions, or flows and movement.
What you may have thought was a stumbling block to learning during your school
days may be that you need to learn with a different style than you were exposed
to in the classroom. By discovering and concentrating on your strongest
learning style or the combination of two styles you have a new chance to learn
what you previously found challenging or difficult.
