Abstract

The purpose of this article is to explore how to teach students with learning disabilities (LD) to cope effectively, so that they may develop self-determination (independence) skills in middle school. Teachers need to understand the definition of coping and what makes coping effective. They can then tailor instruction of students with LD with effective coping in mind. I describe the various ways in which the frame of instruction and specific methods can allow students with LD to cope effectively in school and hopefully, beyond it.
