Special Education: Everything You Need to Know

[@marleenninaka1303]

Thank you for the advice. I was sent to a special education class right after kindergarten simply because of my severe visual disability. The teachers argued over my capabilities right in front of me, forbidding me to get involved in sports programs. If I were given the opportunity to put in my honest effort then pull out, then I would have had no problems. However, they forcibly sidelined me, then put on my report card that I was anti social because I never took part in any sports. This took place in the mid 60s. I'm so glad that today's children have the backup that I was deprived of.

Thank you for the great advice. This helped me to understand on how a properly functioning class should be.

[@rosacanales9082]

Thank you for this white board video, I love the way everything was explained. It's not just being in a special education classroom or being a special education teacher. There is so much involved to help our students. We want to know and be able to help our students to the fullest extent. From LRE, to modifications/accommodations, to how the family can even be involved to help. It takes a village to be able to help out the students.

[@MaryHall-v3t]

it does take a village and unfortunately the village is not always there or caring. my own son with an ASD spent too much time in classrooms that our district refers to as structured learning programs. they have lockable padded cells in them. which the staff doesn't hesitate to toss kids in and lock the door. there have been a few heroes along the way including a few heroes lncluding a special education director who went to bat for us and made sure that our kids with disabilities were fairly treated by staff, unfortunately staff frequently didn't know what they were doing and thought nothing of abusing vulnerable students. it happened many times to my son. no child deserves to be treated with such distain.

[@MaryHall-v3t]

my son who has autism was in many special education classes. unfortunately. the teaching staff were woefully undertrained and quite honestly didn't know what they were doing. he was frequently locked in padded cells and no one did anything about it until the head of special education stepped in for my child and others like him. see my post below. there were a couple of heroes including a special education administrator who stepped in and made sure that our kids with disabilities were treated with kindness and fairly. he was an amazing man who always looked out for our kids with special needs. he passed away a couple of years ago, leaving behind many heartbroken parents and staff.

[@teresagutierrez8383]

Thank you for the break down. Having a student in a less restrictive environment or further restrictive environment is a concept that some teacher may not understand. Especially when they need accommodations.

[@MannyMed94]

I love this videos breakdown of special education. Great informative video that definitely helps with the history and information for Special Education.

[@drpluto4327]

As someone who used to be in special education, it was horrible! I started taking it back in kindergarten because the teacher was concerned over the fact that I used to pace back and forth a lot and fidget as well. They put me as well as other students in a separate classroom to do separate schoolwork. Ever since I took it it made me feel different and made me feel like I was too stupid to do anything. Back in middle school my special Ed teacher at the time tried to take me out of German class because she thought I couldn’t handle learning a different language and also put me in special Ed math and English classes (they didn’t teach us grade level math). Luckily I was able to take German but the special Ed teachers still tried to talk me into not taking it again in later years. On the plus side though I was able to get into a regular English class in 8th grade and eventually got out of special Ed as a whole at the end of my sophomore year but I am not in a grade level math class. Right now I am a senior and although I’m out of special ed I still hate it to this day and worried if my future will be effected because of it.

[@summeralvarado588]

I know the feeling! Back when I was in high school (Class of 2019). I used to be embarrassed because I was in one of those classes too. But I promise after high school it doesn’t effect you. You can still live a normal life.

[@sliverdragon4951]

As a disabled person if you try to work hard just like everybody else people look down on u for trying and that why disabled shaming people destroys there confidence and disabled people don’t get treated like a human being they get treated like sub humans and if a disabled person ever going to make it in this world they would have to advocate for themselves and not rely on people and fight hard for what they want and not give a rat ass what people tell them

[@MaryHall-v3t]

i have an Ma in special education and my son has an autism spectrum disorder. he was treated horribly in abusive special education classes. fortunately there were a few heroes along the way who included a special education director who went to bat for him after he'd been locked in a padded cell by the incompetent staff who taught in is special education classroom in middle school. they locked him in and called the police. when the policewoman arrived she went into the cell and roughly nudged him with her foot. he gently moved his leg in her direction. he did not attempt to kick her or to leave. she then threatened to arrest him and take him to jail. I was in the classroom and I was shocked and appalled at her actions towards a young boy. fortunately there were a few heroes along the way including a special education director who looked out for our kids. he told me once that there was a class in a school on the other side of town that had one of the cells in it. it had a camera in the cell. once after a student had been locked in, the superintendant of the district told him not to show the video to the mother because she'd get the wrong idea. he told me that he showed the mother the video because she'd get the right idea. he was a hero to me and to many other parents of students with disabilities. he was also a hero to many staff. he used to tell the story about when he worked at boulder which is a facility where they house people with disabilities in Montana. there was a child who had downs syndrome his parents never came to visit him. the boy died and the parents didn't come. as he told the story he had tears running down his face. he told me the story at an IDEA PTA (individuals with disabilities education act PTA) meeting at my house. we had one of the first disability focused PTAs in the country. years ago the local high school housed students with disabilities in a small rundown building across the street. he would walk over and escort the kids with disabilities back to the main school building so that they could attend classes and have lunch with the rest of the students. He passed away a couple of years ago leaving behind many heartbroken parents and staff members. he is still missed by many of us. he looked out for our kids with disabilities and supported them and we appreciated it.

[@zach5169]

You should add to the purpose of special education as being to meet the unique needs of the student as a result of their disability BUT ALSO to ensure access and participation in general education to the maximum extend appropriate. It's not just LRE: it's literally the purpose of special education.

[@chibsahoyy]

thanks man this is perfect for sped 301 your a life and time saver

[@charleshines2142]

I was in a special school. It was not at all prison like or anything of that sort. They did bring those who needed medications those medications. That may have been part of the partial hospitalization that they offered whenever it was needed. In places like those you might have one teacher who handles most of your classes except for art and science. Rather than riding a normal bus it would sometimes be a van since there were not that many students on a particular route. Those teachers and all of the other staff there were very helpful and supportive. Of course they changed locations and by now none of the teachers who knew me would still be there. I would think they retired by now. I am so old that when I went back a couple weeks ago to ask for my records I found that they were "purged" 20 years ago. Thankfully I had no real need for them and was only curious about them. I am sure that there must be some way to get them like maybe from the Board Of Education in Harrisburg.

[@annabellelecter1926]

Man when they put me in special ed classes back in the 90’s early 00’s they just segregated me in the cubicle and they said I was just “slow”. As an adult I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I wonder if they had done it differently back then, would I be more successful? Ah well

No, the LRE is the type of classroom setting that best suits a student based on their IEP goals! It is also NOT another phrase for full inclusion! There are parents who are in denial over their child’s abilities and will have their child placed in a class that may be the worst option for them.

[@deekshajamwal9386]

[@rebekahruswick8046]

I really enjoy your videos. Thank you! I do have an issue with your definition of Least Restrictive Environment. The IEP team is bound by IDEA to ensure that placement decisions for any given student are considered to be the Least Restrictive Environment. So, LRE is most definitely relative. If a child truly needs a placement such as a school totally devoted to students with special needs, or even a residential setting, that setting is then considered to be the LRE for that student. I agree, schools that are wholly designed for students with special needs are restrictive ones, but if the IEP team members are performing their roles in the manner to which they should be, students that are placed in these settings through the IEP process are placed appropriately -- and placed in the LRE that best serves their needs. Additionally, what are your thoughts on using people-first language? As a lifelong special educator, I do try to call attention to the individual first and then the disability, but I also know that many individuals with disabilities do not prefer the usage of person-centered language.

The thing with special education the system still has many flaws the student still has to have Determination and has to work twice as hard than a person who not disabled and I’m living proof of that I had to fight all my life in order to move up in life. the sad reality most people don’t give a damn about disabled people growth and it’s a never ending battle u either advocate and use leverage to get far or u remain weak and accept things the way they are with out trying this world doesn’t respect the weak

[@johnrainsman6650]

I need advice. When I was a Freshman in high school, my biology teacher patronized me (albeit, unintentionally, I'll admit). See, the second day, she had approached me at my locker after biology class. She put her hand on my shoulder and said something like, “If you ever have any questions in class, just ask.” She said this kind of slowly actually. Question is, why did she come to me? I don’t remember making a “struggling student” impression on her; the first day, I remember nothing. The second day, I was simply working on an in-class assignment with a partner. Not to mention the times she had the Special Ed worker help me with biology assignments. The first time, when we were partnered with a classmate for an experiment, the Special ED woman came in and my teacher had her partner with me. The second time, my teacher said she was here to help me and a certain classmate-who was a total slacker in class-come up with an idea for our upcoming biology project. But the thing is, I already had a project in mind. It very well sounds like the teacher didn’t think I could think of a plan on my own, while trusting the rest of the class to. Well, just because I didn’t generally have a quick understanding (especially in science), doesn’t automatically mean l would have no project in mind. Although I know she respected my hard work and personality,, I actually question if she respected my intellect and cognition. People tend to look down on my fellows with learning disabilities (who are such pathetic bigots by the way). Now here is the _current_ problem. I reunited with the teacher outside my job (her new neighborhood), and she told me she's gonna become a Special Ed teacher this upcoming fall. I can't let that happen. You all understood now how she spoke to me in biology, making me feel belittled. That's just it: being in Special Ed can already be tough, because of the insecurities of having a learning disability and requiring accommodations. It won't help if _she's_ the teacher there. I need you guys to give me advice quick, before September comes. How do I convince her _not_ to teach Special Ed? I'm not gonna be direct and honest and tell her _she_ isn't right for it. I have to find a way to persuade her the job isn't great, so that she'll decline herself. I have to protect those poor disabled learners from her. Please....someone help me.

But all of a sudden they pulled me outta my regular classes put me in a class called life skills now I think they pick and chooses who need classes like those.
