The focus of this second lesson is on specific information about various disabilities in educational settings, a discussion of various ideas about intelligence, and the laws pertaining to students with disabilities.
Learning Activities
We can all expect to be working with people who have disabilities. As a music teacher, I have worked with students who have Down Syndrome, Aspergers, Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, various learning disabilities, various psychological struggles, and even multiple personality disorder!
So...while schools have special education departments, we all know that school funding is tight and that labor-intensive things such as the development of an individualized education plan (IEP) take time. Let's suppose you are working with someone (student, colleague, etc. who has a disability (you get to choose). What kinds of accommodations can you make in order for that person to be able to do his/her job and/or to learn? Your goal is to get learning going without having to wait for special services.
