I never really thought about it....
Last Thursday in class, we began to talk about delays. Being a special education major, I was always concerned with those students whom either qualified for general education or whom qualified for special education. How many times are those with delays overlooked? How many students who just needed a little extra help or for something to be explained in a different way have we let fall through the cracks? I never really thought about it until now.

I totally see what you are saying and found that I was doing the same thing. Many times it't the child who just has a small road block that they need help to get around that is overlooked or pushed to the side because they aren't as "bad off" as the special education student. It is definitely something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope with the new emphasis on Response to Intervention these students are getting the attention they need. Many of these students will often receive interventions or additional support. Certainly, there may be students who do not. But, the goal is certainly to look at individual students and the progress they are making to ensure they are continually moving forward.
