Abstract: Our purpose in the present paper is to discuss the importance of an adequate academic course planning not only in terms of content, but also in terms of application learning- such as problem solving, thinking and decision making. Another aspect we take into consideration is the fact that information processing is different from one individual to another, it can be divided into global and sequential. There should be high academic standards for all students, but to expect everyone, regardless of their ability (and disability) to meet those standards simultaneously, is inadequate and inherently unfair. Just as they learn differently, students test differently. In order to respect these social, emotional and cognitive differences, instruction needs to be differentiated, apart from being relevant in terms of content.
