Students and Adults with Disabilities
Students with Disabilities
Auburn Mountain Financial Education Services will also engage students and adults with disabilities or who are disabled. Disabilities can be physical and mental. Auburn Mountain Financial Education Services understands the frustration with society's inability to evaluate correctly the talents of people who move or process information differently from accepted norm. There are approximately 11.8 million people with reported disabilities in the work force, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. As the demographics in this country shift, there are going to be more and more people with disabilities in the work force. We will work with colleges and universities and associations that have postsecondary, vocational, technical, continuing, or adult education for individuals with disabilities. This includes:
- Services for hearing impaired
- Services for learning disabled
- Services for people with speech or communication disorders
- Services for visually impaired
- Wheelchair access
Learning Disorders.
Our immediate focus would be to welcome students and adults with learning disorders.
Learning disorders affect how a person understands, remembers and responds to new information. People with learning disorders may have problems:
- Listening or paying attention
- Speaking
- Reading or writing
- Doing math
Although learning disorders occur in very young children, they are usually not recognized until the child reaches school age. About one-third of children who have learning disabilities also have ADHD, which makes it hard to focus. National Institutes of Health
Note: We will only engage students, graduates and adults that have had evaluation and testing by a trained professional. They must also have had a history of successes in learning in the traditional classroom i.e. high school, college or grad school.
