Assertive skills are valuable tools for empowering students who have learning differences. Assertive skills can be easily incorporated into learning styles programs such as Multiple Intelligences.
In Multiple Intelligence classes students learn that there are many ways of being smart. In order to effectively utilize knowledge regarding the extent of one’s abilities, assertive skills are used to assist students in becoming advocates for themselves.

The style that is the most effective out of the four methods of communication is the assertive style.
