The learning styles of the special needs children using pictures and storyboard writing: A case study / Normaliza Abd. Rahim and Nik Ismail Harun

This study explores the learning styles of three special needs children at
Lynncroft Primary School, Nottingham. A one year study with a group
of 12 children with different abilities and needs was carried out with the
help of 3 teacher assistants. One of the researchers who was also the
teacher in the classroom carried out the normal teaching and learning
with the children by using pictures and ICT in the classroom. The pictures
involved were taken by the children. The use of digital camera was
introduced for the purpose of this study. After the pictures were taken
and downloaded in the computer, the children would try to arrange the
pictures accordingly to make a storyline. The children would, then, type
their story in the computer. Activities were differentiated for all the
children in the classroom. The three children were picked based on their
abilities and special needs. This study has given a big contribution towards
the school especially for the future special needs teacher.
