In this section, I learned that there are a number of different disabilities, with a wide range of accommodations that can be used to effectively reach those students. I also learned that there is actually a difference between a deaf person and a Deaf person. I would have never known that, had I not read this section. It really is both humbling and empowering to know that there is so much that I don't know about certain disabilities but there is also a great deal of material that will assist me in the future, when I have students with special needs in my classroom.
