    The content talked about in chapter three and the first case study brings to light a lot of different issues regarding Special education. Issues of inclusion, normalcy, and the medical model of "diagnosing" students with disabilities are all topics that are debated frequently. It is important to understand that the history of disabilities has brought a negative persona on the idea of Special education; this issue is properly identified in chapter three of Rethinking Disability when the authors provide a description of how a typical conversation may go between a normal working person and a Special education teacher. For example, a person whose line of work may be working in an office may say to a Special education teacher, "Why, you must be…

    Full Inclusion

    Prior to the 19th century it was believed that students with special needs were not able to be taught. Historically, the education of students with disabilities has progressed from neglect, to institutions, to pullout programs and mainstreaming and is continuing in the direction of full inclusion for all students with disabilities (Bradely, Sears & Switlick, 1997). The shift in educating students with disabilities is a direct result of various court cases and legislative decisions such as the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975. Since the enactment of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975, the United States has undergone a profound transformation in its efforts to provide a “free and appropriate public education” for children with disabilities.…

    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).…

The ongoing problem that the Special Education department has faced is staffing enough teachers to accommodate a child with a disability.

The school systems are overburdened and children are lost through the laws and guidelines that have been put in place (Mason& Williams…

    Before taking this course and being out in the field for 20 hours, special education was not my ideal teaching job. Special education was always intimidating to me because there is so much important information that is needed. IEP’s, parents, and goal setting are just a few to name that intimidated me until now. After getting to experience being in a special education room with the students and asking Nicole Degroot questions about these topics, I now I feel that special education may be the positon for me. From the first day of my observation hours, Mrs. Degroot made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, which made the experience that much better.…
