special education rarely sets up special lesson plans for the students thinking they can learn anyways.Teachers then have to take the time to go through and make those accommodations. This seemingly little accommodations can take a lot of effort but they allow students to have higher success rates. The rest of the article shows examples of accommodations that can be made for special needs students.

Lesson plans that are put into place for a student with special needs is followed to the goals that are put into place during a placement meeting or IEP(Individualized Education Plan). This allows for the student to reach the goals that are put into place and if they're not being met then another meeting is scheduled to find a solution or different goals.

I have heard many times and experience with my own family that it is hard to find the right school for children of any special needs. Autism in particular is what I often hear about. This website talks about the different schools offered in Arizona for children who need plans that are geared toward them. Meaning a lot of these schools don't teach the same stuff at the same time to all children. They make individual learning plans. This is so each kid can learn at their own pace and succeed. This is a great article for anyone who may need assistance with schooling, doing a report on special needs education or even if you are interested on this subject.

Children with special needs or a disability have the right to an education and to go to school. In this article, it goes over that in New Orleans, families with children that have a disability are facing a huge problem. Schools are rejecting these students, which is discrimination. The schools that they are sending the children to aren't equipped to teach most of these children, either.

I know in Peoria, AZ a lot of high schools such as Liberty and Sunrise Mountain have special education classrooms for students with disabilities so that they are able to learn at their own pace while still taking in useful information and progressing throughout their years of schooling. I feel as if every school should have programs for these students. Just because they don't learn at the same pace as others, does not mean they should not be able to get an education.

Children with special needs in China are discriminated against while trying to get an education. These children with learning disabilities are not accommodated while trying to join their peers that may not have any disability, in school. Families are forced to send their children away to schools that are separated from the rest of the public.

Disabled children of the U.S have a right to public education without a cost to their family. Every school has to try to meet the needs of every child with disabilities by providing special education. This is a law that says that every child who has a disability has to be taught in a "least restrictive environment". Meaning disabled kids go to the school in their district and also go to school with children who have no disabilities. This law also states that a disabled child should be put into a class that they would have been put into if they were not disabled if possible.

Common classroom conditions can and do affect many students with a learning disability, it can be too crowded or noisy for some. The student may require a strategy to help them such as headphones or stress ball to control their emotions and help them cope.

Children do suffer from different levels of depression. Depression is a disability, which will interfere with a child's education if it's not recognized. The constant mismanagement of time, organization and lack of interest in anything sometimes is what can be seen. Many educators are now being trained to identify children who suffer depression.

The U.S. Roman Catholic bishops issued a pastoral letter that would criticize abortion and end the disgrace of having an abortion under law.

My mother was born to an unwed 15 year old in 1940. My mother was given away in adoption to a family member. My grandmother wanted to have my mom (she had fallen in love with a service man who was killed in German) but her mom wanted her to have an abortion. It was illegal in those days and my grandmother refused to go to the "special doctor." So she was shipped away to a home for girls like her in Chicago to have my mom. My story is different then most. I am a product of a saved baby. Without my grandmother fighting for my mom, myself, my brother, my children, we would be dead. It is harder to speak to a child that survived abortion. No one has the right to tell me that we do not have the right to live. I am so grateful that abortion was illegal. I am so grateful that my beautiful children are alive.We are blessed.

Whenever this issue comes up one thing always pops into my head. My body, my choice. I am a female that was born and raised in the Catholic church and had to listen to this stuff for years. It never made sense to me why so many people try revoking this right from women. If you don't support it, fine. However, to take the option away from women who do want abortion as an option opens up even more negative doors. When women do not have a safe environment to discuss these options and the operation itself is made illegal then women who are desperate are more likely to go to back alley doctors or try to perform their own abortion. This often leads to more deaths among women whether it be from a botched, cheap operation or a horrific infection. It should also be noted that each woman is different. They might want the option of abortion for various reasons. Perhaps something is wrong with the child, and the doctors note it won't live past a couple of days, maybe the woman was raped and ended up pregnant, perhaps the fetus was dying and was also killing the mother, perhaps the woman just doesn't want children. You never know the circumstances of why a woman chooses to have an abortion, and they should never be judged for it or have that right revoked.
