Helen Keller was an extremely inspirational woman who had to overcome both deafness and blindness, and who found success and happiness in her life. Recalling her own personal experiences, she believed that anyone with determination and willpower could control their fate and succeed in life. But as she travelled and spoke with others throughout the country, she realized her view on achievement was severely limited. Keller realized that she had many opportunities in life that others did not,…

With close to 6 million students aged 3-21 receiving special education services as of 2012 (Institute on Disability: University of NH, 2014), it is obvious that there is a need for qualified special education teachers nationally. One might mistakenly think all that is needed is a bachelor’s degree. The required certification is only s small part of what it takes for an effective special education teacher. First and foremost, a special educator needs to have a sound understanding of learners.…

with special needs as much as possible, including their strengths, interests, learning styles and other personal information and then differentiate teaching practices so as to respond to individual needs and provide guidance and support. There are great gaps between teachers’ practice and government policy (Eraclides 2001). In fact, many teachers haven’t prepared for teaching in an inclusive classroom. Some teachers find it difficult to meet special needs of students, due to lack of pre-service…

Adapted Physical Education (APE) is developed for a learner with a disability, in order to implement them into PE classes with students who do not have disabilities. This is mandated by federal law so that students with disabilities receive physical education to develop the motor skills that are essential to their lives through physical activity. Changes that are made for the students with disabilities in these classes are based on the type of disability that the student suffers from and…

the motivation to begin the task and the persistence to continue the task until the desired results are accomplished. The problem of motivation, combined with a lack of self-advocacy skills (MacIntire, 2015) and lack of knowledge about the support services that are available, may be preventing students from receiving the support they need. Professor Andrews’s (1998) experiences with his daughter and his students also demonstrated the importance of supporting literacy in order to discover…

needs for children with special disabilities has long been a standard issue in education (Huang, 2009).

complex and interrelated, with many long term and cultural components (p. 9, 1.1). Any efforts made by the university to recover outcomes for people from low-SES backgrounds had to integrate outreach access and support programs and spread beyond simple special entry schemes which have, to date, demonstrated slight effects in improving national rates of access (NBEET/HEC 1996).

law was to better the education of these learners and not allow them to be singled out. The students should be placed by their ABILITIES not their disabilities. (Wentz, 2012.) It is highly unfortunate that the main reason people raise a fuss over special education is because they feel pressured by the law (Pazey, Cole, 2013). This issue should be cared about because it means something, not because the administrators and staff are going to “get in trouble”. Learning disabilities is an area that…
