Chapter 14

• Learning disabilities and ADHD are among the common disabilities of students who receive inclusive education in the Philippines.
• Based on extrapolated statistics, there is an estimated 1,458,499 cases of learning disabilities in the Philippines (Right Diagnosis, 2018).
• The extrapolated statistics estimate for ADHD prevalence in the Philippines is 1,046,314 cases (MindMed, 2018).
• Due to the large number of learners with these conditions, it is important to pay attention to strategies and techniques that can be used in order to provide effective inclusive education to learners with learning disabilities and ADHD.
• Support services are important as well in order to provide learners with learning disabilities and ADHD with holistic inclusive education.
• Inclusive education programs for students with disabilities require support services such as educational accommodations, psychosocial treatment, and educational interventions.
• There is not a lot of evidence to show how effective these services are in helping college students with learning disabilities and ADHD succeed academically.
• Supplemental instruction is a type of peer-assisted learning program where students who have already succeeded in a course meet with students who are struggling in that course to provide additional support and instruction.
• Executive function coaching is a type of one-on-one support that can help students with learning disabilities and ADHD develop and improve their executive functioning skills, such as time management, organization, and planning.
• The study examined the impact of support services on students' GPA over a 5-year period.
• A study by DuPaul and colleagues (2017) found that various support services can be effective in improving the academic performance of college students with learning disabilities and ADHD.
• Very few studies focus on testing the efficacy and effectiveness of educational intervention support services such as providing supplemental instruction in specific academic skills and executive function coaching, especially among college students with learning disorders and ADHD.
• Educational accommodations in inclusive education programs help students with reading, writing, mathematics, time management, and exam completion.
• Psychosocial treatments in inclusive education programs help students with emotional and behavior difficulties.
• Cognitive-behavior Therapy, Individual Counseling, Stress Reduction Strategies, Anger Management, and Self-care Promotion are examples of psychosocial treatments in inclusive education programs.
• Educational interventions in inclusive education programs focus on specific academic skills, organizing course materials, and test preparation.
