In my 20 years at this institution I have taught students with learning and physical disabilities. We have highly trained personel that design their accomodations. For the most part the statement "they are not as different as they are the same as other students is very true. They are here for the same reasons as most of our students,too learn. If someone is willing to learn, I feel it is an instructors job to teach them.All students need a little extra attention from time to time depending on their learning abilities and style of learning. Generally I treat them equally, you should never focus on a students disabilitie or act like they are "different just treat them as you would any other student and help them along if they need it.
