As someone who has previously taught students with mental disabilities such as Dyslexia, modifying teaching methods remains difficult but worth it. Providing one on one with those students after class and having open, honest, conversation's about their own learning requirements remains paramount if you wish for those students to succeed. If the student is younger, always make inquiries concerning an IEP and work around that plan. The biggest thing, however, is patience. They want to succeed just as much as you want them to succeed. By taking the time, you are bound to promote them to the place they aspire to be.
