Visual and Auditory Distractions are Huge Roadblocks to Learning for Students with Disabilities
The evidence continues to mount that visual and auditory distractions are interfering with all students’ abilities to learn. The populations of
learners that are most vulnerable to these education roadblocks are those with learning disabilities.
Today’s highly charged multi-media world of sensory experiences has crept into the classrooms. All the high-tech gadgets and tools are
definitely a bonus to augmenting the teaching and learning experience for children. There are now opportunities for students to participate
in multi-dimensional learning experiences with computers, handheld devices, interactive audio-visual programs and self-directed
learning games.
With the advent and implementation of these tools, teachers are often challenged with managing a classroom environment filled with new
sights and sounds. This is a unique challenge for the student population who struggles with learning disabilities (example ADHD). The
data from studies and research continue to indicate that a student with these challenges is particularly susceptible to distraction from
external visual and auditory input.
In order to minimize these distractions and maximize the student’s ability to learn, the experts are promoting the use of study carrels,
particularly for the reduction of visual distractions. William N. Bender, with the Council for Exceptional Children, states, “Study carrels are
essential in classes that include students with learning disabilities because these students may be easily distracted by movement in the
class.” To assist teachers and learners with this challenge, ClassroomProducts.com offers flexible, portable and inexpensive Study
Carrels for individual desks.
Unlike most study carrels, the product line at ClassroomProducts.com is designed for maximum individuality to address the learning
challenges of those students working to overcome disabilities. They can be set up to create the “private office” Bender suggests as the
appropriate work environment. Bender states, “One important fact to remember is that if a student with a learning disability needs a place
to work that is free of visual distraction, one must be provided to assist the student to remain task oriented.”
Educators in special needs classrooms, and those who have students with unique challenges now have a very affordable product to offer
their learners. As the experts have stated, study carrels are a must in the learning environment for student with disabilities. In order to
reduce auditory and visual distractions and facilitate a child’s opportunities to reach their full potential, study carrels should be a tool all
teachers use.
