Summary The IEP Process as a Tool for Collaboration describes the thorough process and different components that are involved when developing an IEP for a student with disabilities.

Collaboration among these individuals is vital in the development of an IEP because each member of the team contributes their own opinions,…

Hi Delise, Yes, I think a child should attend the school that is going to benefit their education the most. The main focus should always be on the best education possible for the child. However, I do have a problem with home schooling, it seem to cut off the one thing kids really need, communication and interaction with other kids their own age. Interacting and communication skills are very important for the student, and I am not sure home schooling is the best idea. I also find it kind of funny how teachers must attend college to obtain a teaching certificate, but to home school your child does require this certificate, it makes no sense to me.…

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).…
SPECIAL EDUCATION: MAINSTREAMING VS INCLUSION Introduction Although the terms “mainstreaming” and “inclusion” are used interchangeably in special education, they are actually two different programs designed for students with disabilities. Mainstreaming can be described as a program through which is a special needs child attends a regular classroom for their academic and social benefit.
