How To Teach Special Needs Kids (and Everybody) - By Lumos Learning
00:02 | give Let me start . All right ? Yeah . | |
00:08 | Everybody learns everything in the same way . Whether you're | |
00:11 | a little kid , an adult or you have special | |
00:14 | needs , our brains process new information in exactly the | |
00:20 | same way . There's different styles , but learning has | |
00:24 | a very simple universal procedure . You find out exactly | |
00:30 | what you're supposed to do , you practice it over | |
00:34 | and over . Yeah , man , every task is | |
00:44 | actually a combination of individual steps chained together . This | |
00:49 | judo throw , seemingly a difficult physical feat , is | |
00:52 | actually a series of simple steps . This skateboard trick | |
00:57 | also seemingly difficult , is a series of steps chain | |
01:01 | together . Mhm . This high school geometry problem is | |
01:05 | also a series of steps . And there they are | |
01:11 | . Even social interactions are actually a combination of individual | |
01:16 | social behaviors chained together . My opponent reaches for a | |
01:20 | call inside trappers on that . I'm gonna make him | |
01:23 | keep it there . Crouch down when I step my | |
01:28 | foot across . Okay , I'm gonna bring my hips | |
01:30 | all the way through , top your board at the | |
01:33 | right spot and then land on the right spot . | |
01:37 | Gonna pop them all the way through right away . | |
01:41 | Step over squad . Everything is nice together with the | |
01:45 | hips from the top , right ? Yeah . The | |
01:56 | boy here has non verbal autism , and he's currently | |
02:00 | learning how to wash his hands For him , following | |
02:03 | steps is vital because he struggles to understand abstract concepts | |
02:08 | . So if even one step is missing , he | |
02:12 | will not learn the water off dry . Okay . | |
02:21 | Uh huh . Mm . Uh huh . Mhm . | |
02:29 | Mhm . Hanging up . Mm . Mhm . Um | |
02:45 | , basically , like , imagine that I was a | |
02:47 | space alien or something like that . How do you | |
02:53 | Could you explain to me how you would tie your | |
02:55 | shoes ? So how do you tie your shoes ? | |
03:01 | I couldn't even tell you how I do it . | |
03:03 | So that's the hard part . So we take a | |
03:06 | cord and we put it through the holes , and | |
03:09 | we string it back and forth so that we can | |
03:13 | . Then , um So it's like you might , | |
03:16 | you know , like , how grass is long and | |
03:18 | you could tie grass in a Not so you need | |
03:21 | something like that . Something like grass . I don't | |
03:23 | think he knows grasses . Can I take over ? | |
03:26 | Can Yeah , yeah , yeah . Take the two | |
03:40 | ends , wrap them like this and pull them until | |
03:44 | they're tight . Right ? And then I would do | |
03:46 | a loop on this one and loop it around and | |
03:50 | catch it from the back and then pull them until | |
03:53 | they're snug . 20 years ? Yeah . There we | |
03:54 | go . Yeah . And then for the younger ones | |
03:57 | , I'd even do a double , so it doesn't | |
03:59 | come loose job . Mm . Once we see a | |
04:11 | task as a series of steps , we can also | |
04:14 | see that the task itself is a step which is | |
04:17 | chained to other tasks we've already learned . So if | |
04:21 | you can't dunk a basketball , it maybe because you | |
04:24 | never learned how to jump . If you can't score | |
04:28 | the goal of the century , it maybe because you | |
04:31 | never learned how to control the ball . And if | |
04:34 | you can't play two guitars at the same time , | |
04:37 | it may be because you never learned to play one | |
04:41 | . Mm hmm . This newborn baby has never made | |
04:50 | any mistakes . She's never gotten a bad grade on | |
04:53 | a test , never wore the wrong close to a | |
04:56 | party . But when she grows up , she will | |
05:00 | make mistakes just like everybody else . This 10 month | |
05:06 | old is currently learning how to walk , and she's | |
05:09 | making lots of mistakes . But what we call mistakes | |
05:13 | are actually her dealing with the steps that go into | |
05:16 | the task of walking . So each time she falls | |
05:20 | , she learns the balance and muscle memory's that she | |
05:22 | doesn't fall the next time . Yeah , I like | |
05:27 | that by heavy slip part . But , man , | |
05:31 | she can't turn it . We make mistakes until we | |
05:34 | have mastered the task . Mastery means being able to | |
05:37 | do something every time without mistakes or help . But | |
05:42 | the only way to reach that point is to make | |
05:44 | mistakes and then figure out which step we're messing up | |
05:48 | and why . Performance is where mastery is truly measured | |
05:54 | , and it comes in many forms we perform when | |
05:58 | we're on a stage . We perform when we take | |
06:03 | a test , and we perform through the successful completion | |
06:11 | of everyday tasks . This piano player learned how to | |
06:30 | play piano by playing the piano . This barista learned | |
06:35 | how to make coffee by making coffee . This seamstress | |
06:39 | learned how to sew by sewing , and this flamboyant | |
06:44 | roller skater learned how to flamboyantly roller skate by roller | |
06:49 | skating . Flamboyantly , this boy is learning that wind | |
06:54 | chimes make a ringing noise when touched . But to | |
06:57 | learn anything more complex , he'll probably need a lesson | |
07:01 | like this . So what the kids are doing is | |
07:03 | They're taking a piece of pipe , and they're going | |
07:06 | to cut into different links . And as they're cutting | |
07:08 | into different links , there's a former they use their | |
07:10 | gonna prove mathematically . Um , what the frequencies are | |
07:14 | what the sound is going to be , what the | |
07:15 | tune is going to be , what the note is | |
07:17 | going to be , what the octaves are going to | |
07:18 | be . That was good . Yeah , yeah . | |
07:25 | Mhm . Mhm . Beethoven for babies is a product | |
07:33 | that claims to be brain training for little ones . | |
07:36 | But what does it actually do to train a baby's | |
07:39 | brain ? Let's check it out . Yeah . No | |
07:57 | . Yeah . No , you can't . Okay , | |
08:07 | now , ask yourself this question . When Beethoven was | |
08:11 | a baby , what did he listen to ? Mhm | |
08:37 | . Mhm . Mhm . Yeah . Yeah . So | |
08:45 | how did you learn to tie your shoes ? Did | |
08:47 | you take some magic shooting pill ? Did you listen | |
08:51 | to a bunch of meditative music ? And suddenly the | |
08:55 | idea popped into your head ? Look , if there's | |
08:58 | one thing I hope you take away from this video | |
09:01 | , it's this learning is simple . Even when it's | |
09:04 | hard . If you find out exactly what you're supposed | |
09:07 | to do and then embrace the mistakes that come with | |
09:10 | practice . You can learn anything . Whether you have | |
09:13 | a PhD , autism down syndrome , whatever I call | |
09:19 | my system common sense special ed . Why ? Because | |
09:24 | that's the number one tool I use common sense . | |
09:28 | I look at what works . Cut out the crap | |
09:30 | that doesn't . And then on and on , we | |
09:33 | go to the magical land of solve problems . All | |
09:37 | right , buddy , go . Yeah , yeah , | |
09:42 | yeah , yeah , yeah Mhm , yeah , Still |
