2. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act was a law that was put into place for education for all children with an intellectual disability. There are six basic principles that make up this law. The first principle is zero reject. Zero reject means that no child with a disability can be denied an education. No matter how severe or mild the disability is, they must be given an education. The second principle states that assessments must be non-discriminatory. This means that it must be…

individual as a committed a crime or an act of deviance before people find it difficult to “brush off” the opinion of the felon. Suddenly people react in such an uproar thinking that no matter what the felon has to say it is completely false…

what’s right. The article and I both agree that the civil government has to investigate these issues so that they don’t go further. Some people claim that it probably has something to do with discrimination and others claim that it’s just police brutality. I don’t really think it has anything to do with discrimination although most of the victims has been African Americans. I think it mostly has to do with misunderstanding for the most parts. Police officers have been the target of the century.…

It is important that social workers consider their own beliefs about dyslexia as they work with so-called “dyslexic” clients, and it would behoove researchers to do so as well. We make commitments to our clients, and we need to honor those commitments with respect for their individuality. Interventions can only be effective if we have a sound basis of knowledge on which to formulate our intervention strategies for those unique clients. In this way, we can assist them in finding learning…

In 1990, President Bush signed a law called The Americans with Disabilities Act to help provide equal…

noticed that Americans with disabilities have so much more benefits than people with disabilities anywhere else? Even a question like that is a little far-fetched. Americans with disabilities do not have the proper accommodations but that is definitely better than having no accommodations at all. People with disabilities in other countries believe it or not, have no accommodations whatsoever. I strongly believe that each country in the world should have their own disability act. I believe…

other words, the combining of special needs individuals with regular students in the everyday life classrooms. Specials needs individuals are students in which have been labeled to have LD (Learning Disabilities). Learning disability means that a student has a hard time being able to participate in the act of learning like other children. The child has developmental problems that interfere with everyday activities. While other children are able to participate in the learning cycle accordingly…

For many students with disabilities, the key to success in the classroom is when they are provided with appropriate supports. These appropriate supports include adaptations, accommodations, and modifications of the classroom instruction and other school-related activities. This semester, I received my field placement in a self-contained classroom at New Haven Elementary School. My host class consists of one teacher, four paraprofessionals, and seven students. The majority of my students have…

put into place. One of the laws mentioned in the text that was put in place to help students with disabilities is the Education for All Handicapped Children Act of 1975. While all of the acts mentioned have a purpose of helping those with disabilities, this is one of my favorites. This act made sure that all students with disabilities have access to a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). This act also created the Individualized Education Program (IEP) which is a list of specific education…
