Alison MacKenzie Art Institute of Seattle Department of Learning Services -----Original Message----- From: Anne Dolan [SMTP:adolan@bcc.ctc.edu] Sent: Monday, June 11, 2001 10:08 AM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: [NIFL-LD:3521] teaching adults with brain damage I am an ABE/GED instructor at Bellevue Community College in Bellevue, WA. I am anticipating receiving a student who sustained brain damage as a result of a car accident a few years ago. I know very little about this student except what I learned from a phone conversation. I understand this student to be very intelligent, but no longer able to read a clock or add/subtract. Reading comprehension, according to the student, was also affected, but the student is still able to read 400 wpm with "75% accuracy". (I do not know what tool was used to test reading comprehension nor at what grade level.) I am looking for a starting place with this student. For myself, I need to learn more about teaching a student with these difficulties so any suggestions for good reading material for my education are welcome. Also, I'd appreciate any suggestions for methods and approaches or places to go for this type of information. Thanks so much.
