Supporting Students with Hidden Disabilities
Students with hidden disabilities may appear typical but face internal challenges in cognition, social interactions, communication, mental health, trauma, and emotional regulation. This emphasizes the importance of relationships, cooperation, effective communication, assuming good will, and practicing patience in educational settings. Best practices include keeping things simple, being patient with students, staff, and parents, and building strong relationships to support student success.
