Yes i agree its important to see the student trying to better themselves and not the disability. Then think about how can we help them.
Students with disabilities are still just students trying to better themselves. Its important to see the person and not the disbility. We do that by providing accomidation. Providing accomidation is another way we can show our students that we want them to succeed.
In this module, it was very helpful to review disabilities. Students with disabilities are just one of the things we have to deal with in the classroom. We want to make sure that opportunities are equal for all of the students. Reviewing diablitlies module has been a good reminder of possible scenarios, and the suggestions to accomodate were helpful.
This section of this module gave much insight as to how to help students with disabilities and a great reminder to look at the individual and what their needs are specifically, not at the diagnosis!
