Yes, Torah Live works great for students with learning challenges.
Camp Kaylie
Camp Kaylie, a camp for kids with developmental challenges, has used Torah Live for several summers now.
B'nos Yisroel of Baltimore
Mrs. Loni Goldman taught a class for students with learning challenges at B'nos Yisroel of Baltimore. Here's how she used Torah Live:
"I am using Torah Live in a small classroom of 4 students who have learning differences. The girls are very much benefiting from visually seeing the different halachos and hashkafos come alive! I am showing the videos and focusing on getting the girls accustomed to note taking after our discussions. In addition, I supplement the videos with different games, assignments, etc."
Melacha of Borer: "I had the girls create different centers of real-life Borer possibilities. Then they needed to figure out if the scenario was Borer, and if it was, how they would deal with it."
Maaser: "The girls created their own 'fake income' and had to figure out how much maaser they would have to give. We also wrote a journal about how it would feel to collect door to door. The girls created a budget and a cause they had to collect for, and wrote about what the experience would be like. I also brought in an article about the Burt's Bees company and how, after they discovered the mitzvah of giving maaser, their company finally started to succeed financially."
Toiveling utensils: "I plan on taking them to the toiveling mikvah and having them practice what we learned."
Kashrus: "We did real scenarios in a Jeopardy game. For kosher animals, we played Taboo, describing different kosher and non-kosher animals and fish."
