Special education is important to teachers because one has to be qualified to work with these types of students. They have to know how to work with and understand students with disabilities and special needs; general education teachers are not able or qualified to do this.

Special Education is different than mainstream education in that the classes are smaller and instructional techniques are modified as are instructional materials. Often times, there is an instructional aide in the classroom to provide support for both the teacher and the students. When the size of the class is 8 or less students, the opportunities for individualized instruction, reteaching and clarification increase dramatically. This model allows the students to acquire academic skills they couldn't acquire in a mainstream setting. For the most part, Special Education classrooms use the same textbooks as the mainstream classrooms, and the students are expected to meet the same academic standards as mainstream students.

Special Education also needs more time to learn, they need a lot help in orde to finish something. Whereas mainstream students, they can access to things easily. They can learn easy.

To qualify for special education in most states, you need to prove that there is a discrepancy between intelligence and acheivement. In other words, there is usually a processing deficit that hinders learning. Many simple handicaps do not effect processing or the learning process. If this is the case, then a student with a disability would probably qualify for a 504 plan. These plans often allow for accomodations in the classroom and/or materials, tests, etc. They do not allow for modifications to content that the student is given. You can find out more about 504 plans at http://www.chtu.org/504.html.

Many students with learning disabilities and low IQ scores are still able to go to college. Of course, severity of the cognitive imparity will be a major factor. However, most students with pull-out classes and study support in high-school, are able to find colleges with good support systems in place. For instance, colleges can provide waivers for certain class requirements, remedial and pre-college classes to help out students with special needs. The best online resource about planning for colllege can be found at the link on this page.

My child who has short term memory and speech problems just graduated from college in nursing. We spent a lot of time with speech and language therapists (outside of school) working on math and speech and coping skills. Also, he spent a year with Sensory Integration through Occupational Therapy when he was 10.

I think it depends on the child. If a kid can be in a class with other kids and not either totally disrupt them or keep them from learning, then inclusion is fine and they will improve their social skills and probably find good role models.

If the kid is violent, a constant disruption, etc., than they are messing with the education of all the rest of the kids in the class. In this case, they need to be removed from the regular class.

There are many benefits. One is more funding for the school itself and a higher reputation in the community. Another benefit is the benefit the students in those programs actually receive which is the same right to education as everyone else. Those children who participate in special education programs are more apt to know how to behave in society later on.

LEA stands for Local Education Agency. Hence, an LEA rep is one who represents the educational agency, typically a school district.

The LEA Rep represents the district and is responsible for ensuring that anything requested in the meeting (in terms of district resources) can be made available. This person is usually a school principal, special education director or psychologist. They often serve dual roles in the IEP team.

Depending on how the district operates, the LEA Rep often chairs the meeting, too, stating the purpose for being there, moving from one section to the next and generally keeping the meeting flowing.

The exact number of credits needed to complete a Masters Degree in Special education will be dependent on the chosen college or university, and whether the individual is required to take appropriate prerequisite courses at the undergraduate level. However, in general it takes approximately 36 to 40 credit hours in the required areas to complete the degree. How long it will take to complete, will depend on how many courses the student is able to take per semester, and the programs sequential nature of course offerings. For someone who is working, it would take approximately two to three years.

Advantages are that the student is with peers depending on the severity of the handicap they could do very well with the in class support provided. Disadvantage could be that the in class support does not support and the child flounders or fails. In special education it all depends on the person in the room, the classroom teacher and the way the program is set up. best of luck
