Danielle Sheypuk, a clinical psychologist who is also Ms. Wheelchair New York , said she wishes the sites–which many teens are accessing through special applications on their mobile phones– had been around when she was a teen. Sheypuk said she is also using the Internet in her own private therapy practice by meeting clients over Skype to make it easier for teens and adults with disabilities to attend her therapy sessions. She said the problem of disabled teens not socializing like “normal” teens is a huge public health concern.

A disabled teen girl wants more than good grades; she wants a first kiss like her friends. She doesn’t favor dating sites specifically for disabled people because it would perpetuate the unhealthy attitude of belong to a separate group.

Individuals with intellectual disabilities ID, formerly mental retardation benefit from the same teaching strategies used to teach people with other learning challenges. One such strategy is to break down learning tasks into small steps. Each learning task is introduced, one step at a time. This avoids overwhelming the student. Once the student has mastered one step, the next step is introduced. This is a progressive, step-wise, learning approach. It is characteristic of many learning models.

The only difference is the number and size of the sequential steps. A second strategy is to modify the teaching approach. Lengthy verbal directions and abstract lectures are ineffective teaching methods for most audiences. Most people are kinesthetic learners. This means they learn best by performing a task “hands-on. A hands-on approach is particularly helpful for students with ID. They learn best when information is concrete and observed.
