themighty.com:

When the pandemic closed schools in March, perhaps nobody was impacted more than students with disabilities. These classes, and ancillary therapies that reinforce and expand on class work, benefit from close interaction.

So how has distance learning changed things? A new report out from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) gives the first look into how schools managed two unique situations: special education and instruction for English language learners (ELL) during the spring 2020 term.

Supporting Students Who Struggle With Executive Functioning During Distance Learning

As educators and mental health professionals, helping students manage their executive functioning is a critical aspect of building the foundation for academic, social and emotional success. For neuroatypical students, particularly those with autism and ADHD, addressing executive functioning skills within the classroom setting is already challenging enough. However, with current hybrid models and distance learning, many of these students are struggling even more to adapt.

The Words We Use to Talk About Disability Have Power

As a writer, I know the power of words. I choose my words based on the emotions I want to convey or reactions I want to stir in my reader. While I recognize not everyone places as much value on words, it’s important to remember the words we use, or don’t use, say a lot about who we are and what we stand for.

How Staying in an Unhappy Marriage Impacted My Mental Health

I went through a trying period of self-reflection around 15 years ago when I realized my marriage was no longer working for me. After much deliberation with my inner voice, I decided it was time to go. Slowly, I began laying the groundwork for my post-divorce life, including talking to the New Orleans law firm where I worked before becoming a stay-at-home mom about the possibility of returning. It looked promising.

What I Learned From My Son With Autism on a Summer Day at the Pool

The pool — our neighborhood pool, to be exact. A favorite destination of ours on hot, summer days in Pennsylvania. Many of our friends meet at the pool for some relaxation, fun, and companionship. The snack bar is always open, music playing in the speakers affixed to the lights surrounding the pool, lifeguards watching from high above in their chairs. Summer afternoons spent at the pool are our favorites.

I Lived 52 Years With an Undiagnosed Learning Disability

I am currently as of this writing 59 years old, yet I feel as though I am not really a “grown up.” My wife, the third, bought the pickup truck I drive. She bought the house, too. She pays the bills and organizes pretty much everything. I am capable of grilling and drinking a gluten free beer, as I have celiac disease, but that’s not why I don’t feel like a proper adult. I was diagnosed, finally, at the age of 52, with a nonverbal learning disability (NLD).

What to Know If COVID-19 (and Everything Else) Feels 'Too Much' Right Now

There’s a lot happening. A lot. No question about that. We are getting into winter and in many places, that means an increase in seasonal affective disorder (SAD). It’s colder outside and more rain (or snow). Less sunshine. Month nine of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and the isolation. This is on top of all the things that we experience every day: finances; employment; relationships; friendships. Hobbies I now have more time for (like writing and painting) suddenly seem like they are becoming an expectation. I start to feel like I have to do these things.

Simply – it’s the justification being used to explain why people are going out more and social distancing less, even as the pandemic rages on and cases reach record numbers.
