Do you believe students with developemental disorders should be integrated in general classes with the students without devlopemental disabilities?
I am a special education teacher--I have been teaching now for 12 years. I have worked with a very wide range of children with disabilities. I believe there are many factors that should go into deciding if a child should be in a regular classroom. Factors such as; what is the students disability and how severe that disability is, does the student have the social skills that it takes to be in the general classroom and the type of regular classroom teacher will be with that child. Many regular classroom teacher deal very well with special needs students. But I have seen some who don't deal well with special needs children well. These teachers need to know how to modify to the needs of that students. If these students get with the wrong teachers then that hurts everyone in the classroom. It is not fair for the student with the disability, the teacher and the other children that are in the classroom. Each students needs to be evaluated and all these factors need to be taken into account. We do many different things where I teach. Some students are in a special education room all day--some are pulled out for special services for 50min-2 hrs and 3 hrs. Sometimes the special education teacher even goes into the general education room and works with the special needs child. We all need to remember that every child is different and learns at a different way and at different paces.

What classroom temperature is required by the act?
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) does not specify a required classroom temperature. However, it does require that schools make reasonable accommodations for individuals with disabilities, which could include adjustments to temperature if necessary for a student's health or ability to learn. Any temperature accommodations would be based on the individual needs of the student as determined by medical professionals.
What is a special day class?
A special class day class also called a SDC class is a special education classroom where students spend all or part of their day receiving special education services. They are not in the general classroom and they are with other students who are in special education. Classrooms are typically smaller than a general education classroom and students can have different disabilities or they can be a specialized SDC classroom for specific disabilities such as autism. They are usually mild/moderate or moderate/severe and have the teacher and paraeducators in the room working with students.

Overcoming Learning Disabilities?
There are many different types of learning disabilities. These disabilities affect a lot of different people, including small children and adults. People with learning disabilities will undoubtedly face some difficult challenges in their lives. In today's medically advanced society, however, a learning disability is definitely not the end of the world. There are a lot of things that one can do to help oneself function as normally as possible. Learning disabilities can be especially frustrating for young children who are just beginning school. These children are often initially unaware of their disability and become increasing frustrated that they are unable to understand the material as well as their peers. Learning disabilities in children range from math learning disabilities to writing learning disabilities to English learning disabilities. Each of these disabilities presents its own unique challenges and frustrations. After an assessment has been given to a child and it is determined that the child does have a learning disability, immediate action should then be taken to ensure that the situation is handled in a positive and productive manner. There are many different accommodations that can be made in the classroom for young children who have been diagnosed with learning disabilities. Some of these accommodations involve special testing procedures, while others involve using different teaching techniques with these children. Direct instruction is often very helpful with kids who struggle with learning disabilities. Most teachers are more than willing to go out of their way to help these children learn. Adults who have learning disabilities have just as many problems as children who have them. The majority of these problems take place in the workplace as one does their best to learn and perform their various assigned job duties. These issues can be combated by a company's management if they make sure that the employee is properly trained. This training may be different and a lot more detailed than the training required of other employees. Companies have to comply with Equal Opportunity Employment procedures. These procedures are extremely helpful to people who have learning disabilities. In today's workforce, people with learning disabilities have the opportunity to be just as successful as anyone else.
