WOW

I thought I knew everything there was to know about working fairly with individuals with disabilities but I was so wrong!  I found that I was over compensating and much too generous to the disabled students and left my "OK" students to follow the rules.  I am so much more aware of the issues, documented and undocumented that my students deal with on a daily basis and I am more aware of how quickly situations can throw a person into a tailspin.  As a teacher, I must not only be observant of the laws for the documented disabled students but sensitive to all the needs of my students and how their health and lives affect their school performance and potential for success.  I know this was more about assuring access to the disabled, but intertwined was how to be fair to all.  Thanks for a very informative session.
