Access and equity for students with learning disabilities

Equitable instruction includes careful consideration of and planning for access by all students, including students with learning disabilities. UnboundEd, an organization focused on educational equity, describes three foundational moves in their paper “Equitable ELA Instruction”:

1. Adopt aligned curriculum.
2. Provide instructional support that fosters all students’ persistence with grade-level reading and thinking.
3. Provide targeted intervention in addition to and in service of grade-level learning.
