    Closing remarks

    Special education is
    specially designed
    instruction that meets
    the needs of an
    exceptional student
    that might require
    special materials,
    techniques, and/or
    equipment.

    Response-to-Intervention (RTI)
    Its an evaluation to see if your child
    will succeed better in a more managed,
    individualized setting
    Reauthorization of the Individuals with
    Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)
    There are varying levels of general
    education before being referred to
    special education
    Progress was, is, and will be monitored
    throughout the entire process

    Professionals
    want children of
    all general and
    special education
    classes to be
    educated in as
    normal an
    environment as
    possible, known
    as the least
    restrictive
    environment.

    If accommodations have been made and student is not making progress,


    the last step is forming an IEP.

    IEP stands for Individualized


    Education Program, a legal
    document created with the
    efforts of the teacher, school
    administrator, parent, and
    even student. It describes, in
    detail, the education and
    services that will be provided
    for the child when the previous
    options just arent working.

    Your childs IEP

    What are the goals


    we are aiming for?

    What
    accommodations
    have already been
    made for the
    student?
    Have they worked? If
    not, were other
    accommodations
    made?

    Based off of the information we


    have, what future accommodations
    should be made? What kind of
    connections from teacher to
    parent can be made? Whats the
    overall decision of the placement
    of the child?

    Inclusion vs. Separation


    Based off of the concept of LRE and through the IEP, the parent and teachers
    will decide what the best location is for the child.

    Students can utilize different locations for different amounts of time


    based on the individualized need of the child discussed in an
    IEP meeting.

    Additional Resources for Families, Parents,


    and Students

    With all the numerous


    requirements, steps, and
    processes that are involved
    with placing a child in special
    education and diagnosing a
    disability, coping physically and
    emotionally can be challenging
    for the entire family. Teachers,
    schools, and outside programs
    are all there for the sole
    purpose of helping the child
    gain an education and helping
    the family be a part of it.

    Final Thoughts

    With proper
    communication and
    cooperation of the
    parents and teachers,
    special education is a
    rewarding way to help a
    child get the best
    available resources
    possible.

    Reflection

    With all of the different topics relevant to exceptional learners, I

    felt like explaining what special education is will first make the
    parents realize that it isnt necessarily a special case, and that
    many children utilize its different programs. They will feel more
    comfortable with the term. Then it should be narrowed down to
    exactly what the parent will see and deal with when placed in the
    position of having a child diagnosed with a disability. Its important to
    inform them of the flow of placing a child in special education, so they
    know exactly what to expect in the order it will more than likely occur.
    From the teacher acknowledging the students issues, to making
    classroom changes, to creating an IEP and deciding where the child
    will be placed, there is a lot that goes into having an exceptional
    child. The least a teacher can do for the parents is to make it as easy
    as possible to understand the process.
