Practical Activities and difficulties with Motivation
Remember, disability is a highly individualised experience. People with the same disability may have very different capabilities and/or needs, so it is always best to discuss any adaptations to practice, the environment or equipment directly with the disabled person themselves rather than making assumptions about what adjustments may be suitable.
Most learners seem to prefer practical work to learning theory! For those who enjoy putting theory into practice and/or using their skills in the wok environment, their motivation is likely to be high.
The teacher should explain the purpose and the remit of the practical activities, how it will be monitored / supported, and whether or not the work completed will be graded. It may also help to emphasise how much employers value people who are able to apply their learning effectively in a work context.
