There were several of us walking around, and if my friend had been alone, they would have been stranded, because even their phone was dead. The country talks about equal rights and opportunities; however, they fail to consider emergency situations. After that event that took place and having to watch the Willowbrook videos, I had learned the country does not do a sufficient enough job with aiding individuals who present a disability in an event of an emergency. After the videos, I thought about Forest Gump and Lieutenant Dan, when Dan feel down or slid down the pavement. I began to ask myself, "What would have happened if he slid, stopped and fell on a busy highway or even street and Forest was not there to aide him?" (Zemeckis, 1994).
Regarding the areas I would find myself excelling in and struggling in, being able to fully understand how one perceives themselves from what they believe they are from others' perspectives would be a struggle for me and aiding the individual in the change of perspectives and helping them gain insight into their distress would be an area I believe I would excel

    In contrast to Beatty, Montage is a character who went through from a literary darkness to self-enlightenment. At first, Montage was ignorant as shown that he enjoyed burning books. But as he met Clarisse, his curiosity has led him to question things in ways he has never done before. Clarisse sparked his curiosity to question things when she asked him whether he was happy.

    A child with disabilities is a major focus in today’s education. Achieving my Bachelors in Special Education, I need to be aware of the need to ensure appropriate education for all children with disabilities. “The education of children with disabilities is a top national priority. Our nation’s special education law, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), sets high standards for their achievement and guides how special help and services are made available in schools to address their individual needs (National Dissemination)”. This is my biggest challenge. I feel with the right tools and help with administration; my job will guarantee a bright future for my students with disabilities. I came across a case, Irving Independent School District v. Amber Tatro. The findings of this case gave me some insight on the statues and limitations that I as an educator have to abide by. But it also gave me hope that we the educators have the right to make such access meaningful to handicapped children.…

Over the last few decades, more awareness about these disabilities has florist throughout our nation. Many advocates of their time have fought to educate these students in order to help them overcome their struggle. Over time we see the long protect the rights of the students and provide them with the restrictive environment settings in order to provide an equal but adequate education. Despite the fact services are an essential part of protecting a student with special needs rights; it cannot be at the cost of their education either. If the student is able to complete the work at the same annual yearly progress as the general education population, proper services whether it be assistive technology or a personal aide, must be provided to the student. The services not only help students’ with special needs successfully graduate school but it provides them a promising future.

    A con that has raised much concern about the use of inclusion within the classroom is that teachers are not properly trained nor receive adequate support to teach a student with a disability. With teachers already struggling to provide appropriate education for students without disabilities due to rigorous standards and mounting pressure to perform, with such a large burden it becomes unrealistic for teachers to provide the attention needed and deserved for disabled students within a regular education classroom. With lack of training in specialized education areas, teachers are unable to properly serve disabled children and in turn these students are unable to receive an appropriate education accompanied by specialized attention and care needed in order to suitably benefit educationally.…
