This question made me think of a remark a co-worker said. She had brought a young man to my area, to start an ASVAB practice test Internet program. As he entered the room ahead of her, she whispered to me,"He's slow." She turned and left the room. That remark did not make me treat him any different, as I was leading him through the sign-in and starting of the practice. I do not know if he heard what she had said, but he did not come back anymore.

If we label students from the start, by their disabilities or what we think they might be, we will not see what is underneath that. Focusing on what the students can do, will help us help them with what they cannot do or have a hard time doing.
