Learned helpless is found when a student is unsure how to
exert the power of communication through technology devices, particularly
augmentative communication. As a teacher, it is important to encourage the learner
to gain control over their environments, minimizing learned helplessness. One
strategy for supporting an individual to overcome learned helplessness is to
have the child communicate to his or her parents and daily report of school
events. I particularly gravitate towards this technique because I believe it
has the student take ownership in what he or she is communicating, as well as
incorporating reflection and authentic daily experiences.
