This biography is remarkably written filled with tons of information, however Bruce doesn’t become as intimate with inspirations of Alexander Graham Bell or the actual telephone being built.

From prior research, it is said that George Sanders later went on in life becoming successful in thanks to Bell, however it would’ve been…

people who use services to control their lives. (Stretch 2010). In some cases, due to time constraints, some carers will seek to control people who use services. It is an abuse to deliberately control and manipulates services users.

According to Hallahan, Kauffman, and Pullen (2015), “exceptional learners are those who require special education and related services if they are to realize their full human potential” (p. 5). I was able to gain in–depth knowledge visiting various special education environments and making observations of exceptional learners, to see first-hand, these services implemented in the classroom. Through my observations, I was able to capture the essence of what a day in the life looks like for a…
