I really like your article. Patience is important not only with special needs but all of our students. Some just learn at a slower rate than others, that may not qualify them as special needs but they need our patience. I am a mother of a special needs child, actually three of four had some form of special needs in their education, from slow learner to autisic and I volunteer with special needs groups. Patience is a key, and it is something that a few of my peers at work notice that i seem to have a lot of, even when the same question is being asked over ad over. We have to be patient with the students at all time, we may be the only one being patient with them.
