Sylvia was meeting and exceeding all of the goals and objectives in most subjects, and her fitness and locomotor skills had been improving greatly. It was obvious that she was ready to move on and try something different. The wants and concerns of students with special needs must be considered, as educators work to give these students the opportunities to best thrive in the least restrictive environment.

There was also a use of individual plans to set out targets for the students with additional needs. By having these plans, both the student and the teachers benefit from them. The student will be able to receive full care, having all of their needs being met, as these plans will explain what their needs are, and how to fulfil them. This can then allow for teachers, and other professionals, working with them to know what is expected from them, and so act accordingly.…

The field trip experience was different than I had expected it to be; Mrs. Grosch made every aspect of the hike through the park related to occupational therapy. She set up swings between trees for sensory integration, and social participation was emphaszied through a game of kickball.…

    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).

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…

In my undergraduate program I always knew I wanted to working with children, but it was a challenge for me to choose one career path I felt my work would make a difference.
