SPECIAL APPROACHES BASED ON DIFFERENCES IN ABILITIES
Abstract
This paper examines specialized methods in education and psychology designed for individuals with varying abilities. Acknowledging that everyone has distinct strengths and weaknesses, customized strategies can significantly improve learning results and personal growth. The research evaluates several techniques, such as differentiated instruction, universal design for learning, and strengths-focused approaches. The results indicate that the application of these methods enhances engagement and retention while promoting an inclusive atmosphere that appreciates diversity.
