Counselors, Distance Learning Schools are a Great Option for Special Students
Are you a counselor who wishes that you could offer your special students more? Distance learning schools are a great option for those students. With the wide availability of the internet, distance learning can now be a useful tool in the education of students.
Online high schools offer a flexible schedule that can accommodate the needs of many different types of students. Their education can be tailored to suit them as an individual. Each student learns in a different manner and with the distance learning option, education can now be presented in different forms to accommodate each and every learning style.
For example, for a student who has ADD/ADHD the class work can be broke up into tiny segments, enabling the student to stay interested and focused during each and every activity. A customized educational opportunity awaits the students in the virtual world. They will be able to work at their own pace and at the right grade level. For example, a student who has ADHD could possibly be a freshman who is getting left behind in the course work, but that student could actually be capable of far more if the course work was adapted to fit their needs. Once it has been adapted to the student, it could be found that that particular student is capable of working at a tenth grade level. In a traditional school setting would they be able to do this?
