=  = = = ="Testing ELL Students - Testing English Language Learners with Learning Disorders" =  http://learningdisabilities.about.com/od/publicschoolprograms/a/testingeslstudn.htm

I think this article is extremely useful and worthwhile. The idea that a student, or even, your child could possibly have a learning disability, is very intimidating. I feel that parents of all races never dream of having a student with disability; however as parents and teachers we need to be prepared to explain the process of testing to parents. This website offers information about the process of testing, from pre-assessment, to post-assessment. I think this website offers very useful information to all parents, but especially to parents of ESOL students. This website is very informative, allowing parents and teachers resources while educating them on the process of testing for learning disorders.





="Learning Disabilities and ESOL Students" =  http://www1.american.edu/tesol/RobinArt.pdf

This article is extremely informative, and very educational! I absolutely love this article, because I feel as if it opens the doors to education on ESOL students with learning disabilities. This article is not only educational, but it is specific and direct as well. I feel as if this article would appeal to teachers, because it has to do with a lot of pre-learning disability signs, and how to approach those specific signs. I also love this article because it also offers statistical figures about ESOL students, and learning disabilities. It not only offers statistics, but it offers recommendations on the best programs for ESOL students.



="Helping Children With Autism Learn" =  http://www.childrensdisabilities.info/autism/helpingchildren.html

This article was truly amazing! I found this article online, and couldn’t stop looking into it. I was working with a student who had Autism, and I was somewhat unsure of how to work with him. I began researching methods, and ideas of teaching strategies, and I came upon this article. This article is all about imitation, and how imitation is a great teaching strategy for autistic students. I think this article would be informative for parents, as well as teachers, because it offers a lot of useful information and findings about Autism.
