The differences between the majorities of children are reasonably little, enabling these children to advantage from the wide-ranging learning course. The substantial attributes or learning abilities of some children, though individuals called exceptional children vary from the norm whichever lower or over to such a point that they need an individualized course of particular education and linked services to wholly gain from education. The word exceptional children take account of children who experience difficulties in learning as well as those whose act is so advanced that modification in situate of courses and teaching are necessary to facilitate them carry out their full potential.

...| | Individual with Disabilities Education Act Litigation Every person is different and every person learns in a different way or style and every person deserves the opportunity to an education. This could justify need for differentiation but could it also justify a need for a special education program? To answer the question pose, first we have to answer why there is a need for a special education program? Horace Mann explains it more eloquently; he says “education, then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance wheel of the social machinery”. Personally, I feel this quote explains the need for special education. Educating students with disabilities levels the playing field with their peers and enhancing the studies of those children with special gifts and talents advances their learning. Students with learning disabilities should be educated in the least restrictive environment, those gifted should be among peers with similar strengths and all their abilities and inabilities should be accommodated. Special education is the legal definition of programs that provide greater support for certain students and is sometimes referred to as (EC). Exceptional students does not refer to a specific location or fixed concept, however, to include a broader range of services from a smaller individualized learning environments, to assistive technology, and/or a modified curriculum that capitalizes on student’s...

...the similarities and differences of those with exceptional needs. The terms impairment, disability, handicap, and at risk should not be used interchangeably because the terms have different meanings. Additionally the terms refer to different types of individuals with or without exceptional learning needs. For example, the term impairment refers to the loss or reduced function of a particular body part or limb (Heward, 2009). Such as a soldier who may has a missing limb due to the current war or a child losing their leg after an accident. Handicap is a term that refers to a problem or disadvantage that a person with a disability or impairment encounters when interacting with the environment (2009). Children who may not have an identified disability but have a greater chance of developing a disability are considered at risk (2009). When an educator apply this term to infants, preschoolers, and young school age children because of biological, the home environment, or developmental problems. 2.

...There are various arguments on whether the labeling of exceptional children is beneficial or a hindrance. There are individuals that proclaim labeling is necessary, while others state that the negatively impact that it carries emotionally harms children, negating the benefits that may accompany labeling. Like many other topics of discussion labeling is denoted with several pros and cons. The permanence of labeling is a con that is one of the main objections that arise in regards to labeling. A permanent reminder that has the potential to affect an individual’s self-esteem, further causing them to hold the belief that there are things that they are not be able to achieve. The fact that individuals limit what an exceptional child has the potential...

...Running head: EDUCATING SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS Educating Special Needs Students March 12, 2012 Educating Special Needs Students Most people have seen or heard about child or adults with disabilities, some may even have come in contact or have a person like this in their family. No matter what the case may be disabilities have been around for generations and are just now getting the recognition and help it really deserves.

...Benefits of Inclusion for Exceptional Students George Santos Brandman University EDUU 511 Abstract Inclusion is a very controversial concept in education today. It is the idea of including special education students in a general education class. This class will provide the special education, or exceptional student, with the support and resources needed to succeed in that environment. This paper will analyze and discuss inclusion. Evidence and support will be provided to defend the position that inclusion provides benefits for both exceptional and non-disabled students. The Benefits of Inclusion for Exceptional Students One of the most controversial concepts in all of education is the concept of inclusion (Hallahan, Kauffman, & Pullen, 2012). Inclusion is the idea that a student with special needs, or an “exceptional student”, attend and is educated in the classroom that this student would normally attend if they were non-disabled. Erwin explains that "the true essence of inclusion is based on the premise that all individuals with disabilities have a right to be included in naturally occurring settings and activities with their neighborhood peers, siblings, and friends" (Erwin, 1993, p. 1). Inclusion includes the commitment to bring resources and services to the exceptional students as opposed to moving them to a segregated location that holds these services and resources (Lipsky & Gartner, 1994). Inclusion is the idea for exceptional students to begin in a...

...With a broad meaning of disabilities, this law consents all the rights of a suitable education for ones with disabilities, including those not under the special education law. Teachers need to know their jobs under this law. The ADA describe a individual with a disability as having some kind of a disability that significantly restricts them in some way that impairs them. They want to make sure it is all fair and the law needs to be specific. People with differences are listed in a large variety and they range a disorder exceptional handicap intellectual and learning disabilities, gifted and talented and even being deaf. They came up with new programs like the IDEA and the No Child Left Behind. With having different values which deal with the zero tolerance or exclusion in the school system make things uneasy. Individuals with disabilities have a hard being accepted and surviving in school. Special education gives them with trust and chance fail-safe by lawsuit and rules. With tailored education, these students can give to civilization. I know when I make my way further into the schools system I will do all I can to put full effort to make sure any students I have come in my class get the best form of education that they can give and then give a little more. We need to make sure that students are really at a disability. To many doctors, teachers and parents like to jump the gun and say that a child has some certain disability and they really don’t have it. Responses can be negative...

...Lifelong Learning 12/08/2012 From the first day a child is born, parents are there to nurture their child, to support them as they grow and develop. There is a lot to learn about raising a child under normal circumstances, but when a child has special needs parents must learn this whole new language of medical and special education terms (Overton, 2005). Parents enter this new world where navigating for the best interest of their child is riddled with challenges and obstacles that they need to somehow overcome. This is especially true when parents are dealing with the special education program in their child’s school. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) requires parental involvement in the education of children with disabilities (Smith, Hilton, Murdick, & Gartin, 2005). The IDEA also guarantees civil rights to children with disabilities and encourages parents to act as an advocate for their child. This seems like it would encourage school professionals and parents to work close together in obtaining the best services needed for the child. Unfortunately it often leads to a struggle in balancing legislation, interpretation and understanding of the law, and a breakdown of communication (Yell, Shriner, & Katsiyannis, 2006). Parents often feel they have no voice in the educational...

...Research Process In Teaching Shaun Dwyer RES/351 April 30, 2015 Robert Batiste Research Process In Teaching Professionals mostly agree that scientific research should guide practice in education (Odom et al., 2005). The Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act (IDEIA; 2004) and the No Child Left Behind Act (2002) require that students with disabilities receive research based practices in the “least restrictive environment.” Because the least restrictive environment is often considered to be the general education classroom, the responsibility to implement research-based practices frequently rests with the classroom teacher. However, during their initial teacher training and certification, many teachers may not have received formal instruction regarding the implementation of current research-based practices. Subsequently, teachers often feel detached from the very research base they are now required to utilize (Ayres, Meyer, Erevelles, & Park-Lee, 1994; Boardman, Arguelles, Vaughn, Hughes, & Klingner, 2005). Interviews with teachers conducted by Boardman and colleagues (2005) suggested that teachers often select classroom instructional practices and behavioral interventions based on four criteria: (a) feasibility within the classroom, (b) perceived appropriateness for particular students, (c) availability of required materials, and (d) availability of required professional development or outside expert support. When a practice does not sufficiently...

...Functions of Management Paper Natalie Pruett MGT/330 April 11, 2011 Julie Young Functions of Management Managers are one of the leaders of a company. They lead and motivate their team to do the best job that the team possible can. Having an exceptional manager will show in how the rest of the team interacts with one another, how well products are produced, and how well customers are being treated. Bateman and Snell stated management is the process of working with people and resource to accomplish organizational goals (Bateman and Snell, 2009 p. 19). This will also show in the four functions of management. The four functions of management are planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. This paper will discuss more in detail about the four functions of management and how they are used in the Head Start program. Planning “Planning is the management function of systematically making decisions about the goals and activities that an individual, a group, a work unit, or the overall organization will pursue” (Bateman and Snell, 2009 p. 19). The Head Start program uses planning in how the center director plans what activities that particular Head Start will be doing the whole year, how to get families involved in their children’s education, and how all the criteria will be meet for the school year. Planning involves not only the center director, but also the teachers, assistant teachers, and the program specialist. Organizing The head start uses organizing to pull all the necessary...
