Motivation is or is not a problem for students with learning disabilities?
They can’t see something they cannot visually discriminate no matter how hard they try (cow picture=$100). They later act like they don’t care because they can’t do it, but that’s not motivation. Motivation is NOT the issue for children with learning disabilities. They are trying hard already to understand something. The problem is not “wanting” to complete a task; but, being ABLE to complete a task. Direct instruction is the most important factor in helping children with learning disabilities learn new information. Motivation is a huge factor with students with ADHD.
