Making Disabled Children Feel Important Even though there is a good chance, disabled children should be separated from the non disabled children to keep everyone on the same track.Most feel as if disabled kids need all the help and love that non disabled kids need. Disabled kids do not have a fair shot in the school system because they are not given the extra time that they need,and most disabled children are not treated fairly by anyone around them just because they are different. The first problem/issue to discuss is isolating disabled children into a separate school room for most of their school experience. They are not truly getting to live out their days in school because they are being put away from the non disabled children because of “distractions” or potentially slowing the teaching process down. It is as if the children that need extra help are a burden to teachers that are not used to them. They are not truly

I believe that interaction between disabled and non disabled is something that would help their learning and social skills. Many strongly disagree with excluding these disabled children from many activities that “normal” kids participate in.As this problem becomes more known, hopefully the unfair way disabled kids are treated can be stopped.

    I ask this question because it is evident that many teachers don’t know how to incorporate literature about children with disabilities into their classroom or how to teach about diversity of ability to their students. Even if a teacher doesn’t have a student with a disability in their class, this group should not be ignored or presented ignorantly. Diversity of ability needs to be an important part of a school’ curriculum just as much as cultural diversity. Even if students aren’t currently exposed to people with disabilities, they will have to interact with members of this group at some point in their lives. Learning about other children with various types of abilities will help young students to gain knowledge and develop acceptance necessary for future experiences.…

    This book is extremely relevant to my major, and it opened my eyes to how some students with disabilities are treated. This book was written in 2007, and I believe as a whole, future educators are being taught more about inclusiveness, and hopefully there aren’t many teachers that treat their students like Jonathan or Brent or Kent or Miles this way as a result of this. The school system does seem to struggle with disabilities though as a whole, and that is evident by the stories the kids of these parents…

The purpose of the campaign is to Buffalo State's Best Buddies and SCEC chapters prefer to focus on people and their gifts and accomplishments, and to dispel negative attitudes and stereotypes.

    Recently I did my observation at Chime Institute 's Schwarzenegger Community School in a first-grade class that consisted of about twenty students both those of who have disabilities and do not. These students are typically six years old and at the time there was one teacher and one assistant who led the class. In the classroom, there was also one paraprofessional for the student with special needs. The mother of the child was also there guiding her daughter and helping with any questions the paraprofessional had regarding her daughter 's needs. For the majority of my observation, I was in a class setting…

    I found a very interesting article in the Capella library. The article is called “Nature vs. Nurture in Special Education”. The article states that “schools are organized as if nature has already won the contest (Marks, S. U. (2009)). This is so significant with school systems today, because it is the truth. A child who has a disability is almost always put into a special education class.…

    Throughout my research on the school to prison pipeline, I was able to identify where the main issues began and how it effects children as they grow up. There are certain policies and procedures that can be done to eliminate these issues that continue in the school systems. By setting up different recourses, this can eliminate the disparities among the students, and eliminate the harsh punishments that are set for these young adolescents. Within many schools, the use of harsh disciplinaries are set in place to control the minor infractions that the young adolescents create, but are these disciplinaries too harsh?…

    A teacher’s goal is to maximize his or her student’s potential. Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order to meet the diverse needs of these students, they were traditionally removed from the mainstream classroom and placed in a separate classroom to learn. Although this was the best way to meet the students’ academic needs, their social needs were grossly…

    Special education is in every school system to help students with disabilities have success in life. According to Artiles and colleagues research, children back in the 1800s were excluded from educational opportunities (Artiles, Harris-Murri, and Rostenberg, 2006, p. 260). Children with disabilities were often segregated into either a separate classroom or separate schools with curriculum that didn’t fit their needs (Artiles, 2006, p. 260). Children were held to low standards, but fortunately that is not the way we see special education today. With the introduction of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act otherwise known in IDEA in 2004 we see more of a movement towards inclusion (Department of Education, 2004).…

    Part 2: Special Education Law and Policies “As someone charged with ensuring equality in the school environment, you have heard the term inclusion-the principle that students with special needs, skill sets, and abilities should be integrated in publicly supported activities to the same extent as their nondisabled peers.” (Taylor, 2010, p. 8) To make sure that special education students are included in public education, school leaders must make sure that these students are a part of the least restrictive environment possible. There are many different stipulations that need to be fulfilled for a school to be in compliance with special education laws, but we will focus on five key ideas that keep special education students in their least…

    Assumption number two states “students with disabilities should be grouped with other students with disabilities.” Grouping is criticized as “tracking” when applied to nondisabled students yet ironically it is accepted and practice to children with special needs. If teachers were to follow through with this second assumption and were to separate a child into a different classroom setting with easier objectives because of their disabilities they will later discover that the child could have learned the same rate and have better capability of learning in a class with their peers, and the teachers have now failed that student by making a dangerous assumption. Special education classrooms are very un-stimulating and un-interesting. Why put a child in a dull environment were educators baby each student with no hope of ever getting over, or learning how to work around their disability, when they can be in a positive uplifting one with peers, mirroring their friend’s actions, learning how to speak and corporate with others?…

    Every student has experienced a time when they struggled in school, whether they had a difficult time grasping a concept, had trouble answering a question or was unsure how to study for an exam. These are common struggles that many students face when they are in elementary school, high school, college, and even graduate school. However, being the one student that encounters all those difficulties altogether, make it very challenging to achieve in school, especially when they are stigmatized for having a learning disability. Students with learning disabilities can either have a negative or positive school experience based on the attitudes and behaviors of their fellow classmates and teachers. These students often have negative school experiences…

    Among the advantages of inclusion system, let's consider the disadvantages the most. To the point that every children with disability needs an extra care and attention to an adult or even to a teacher for the reason that they manifest things different from the normal beings. They may manifest behaviors that will require attention and will result into behavioral difficulties (Comfort, 1988; MacCoby, 1983; Roedell 1984). Each student have their extraordinary behaviors which makes a teacher's mind divided into two portions, (1) to understand special children and (2) to manage normal students. These things may tolerate teachers when they hear about "Inclusion System".…
