Here is my top 10 list of what I learned in this course and what I thought were important as a future educator.

This important law called Parc v Common Wealth of Pennsylvania (1971) secured a quality education for all children with or without disabilities. People born with an intellectual disability should have the same access to education as the rest of the population. This paved a new way of opportunity for children with disabilities. I think everyone who becomes an educator should be aware of the history of education and how they're have been many changes done to give the best education for all children.

2. Low Incidence Disability (visual impairment)

# data[].attributes.body
This low incidence disability is a loss in visual acuity or a loss of visual field. This interferes with the child's performance in the educational environment and requires of special education and related services. This might include: changing the font/text of the assignment, placing the child in front of the class, or needing glasses. These are just some of many more. This is one of many low incidence disabilities that student struggle and a disadvantage to their education. I think it's important as a future educator to be aware of the many disabilities.

3. High Incidence Disability: Specific Learning Disability (Dyscalculia)

# data[].attributes.body
This learning disability is a learning disorder that affects a person's ability to understand a number-based information and math. People who struggle have a difficult time to process math concepts in their brain. Some symptoms are poor arithmetic skills and inability to retain info. Some ways to help is to work one on one, using rhythm or music to help memorize math facts, and relate problems into real life. I learned a lot with this disability that I did not have no knowledge about and how children with dyscalculia also have dyslexia. People should be considerate with children with dyscalculia that it's a learning disability and not just that they don't like math or it's hard.

Early Intervention is designed to help infants/toddlers with developmental delays or diagnosed disabilities that interfere their education and receive full support. Every state has their own state's lead agency whom conduct public awareness and Child Find activities to know the early intervention services.

Is an approach where teachers adjust their curriculum and instructions to maximize the learning of all students which have positive effects on learning.

Ex: provide a variety of options for how students can learn and demonstrate their learning such as a presentation, video clip, or essay.

Ex: instructions are student centered rather than teacher centered.

Ex: instructions are given in a different manner like modeling, hands-on, or visual presentations.

I think this important to include differentiated instructions to your class so students have the opportunity to make choices and be independent too. Also every student learns differently and in their own pace so having alternative's is great for their education.

Accommodations is a change to instructional or testing procedures that allows a student to fully access the information. Students with disabilities are required to learn the same content as their peers for instructional accommodations.

Ex: text-to-speech software, extended time on tests, or taking test in a separate area

Modifications is a change to the instruction or curriculum that alters the content of that instruction or student performance expectations.

Ex: reduce assignments, use lower level texts, and assign different reading material

There are many different modifications and accommodations to input in your students, so I think it's great to know all of these and choose what is right for your students to help their education and improve their quality in school.

The difference between a bright child and a gifted child is that a bright child retains information, has great memory, and knows the answers to the questions while a gifted child is more advanced in one or more specific areas compared to others. Their IQ are significantly higher which is demonstrated in their critical thinking and extraordinary memorization skills.

As a teacher you want your students to succeed and one of the important way is to have good communication with the students parent. An example is be a great listener and answer their questions and concerns in a respectful and clear manner so they understand. Any parents concerns should be answered promptly. Another example is having a way to keep in contact with the parent. Such as apps like Class Dojo where as a parent can reach their child's teacher and start building the connection. I think having a good connection with the child's parents is key for the child's education. This can include with conferences, meetings, and events. If teachers encourage parents to join these events, their child's education can be successful.

As a parent struggling with a child with a disability can be overwhelming and exhausting. That's why there is parental support to help those in need. Children with disabilities have to be taken care of and be alert too. Such resources that are available are emotional support and physical support. Parents might be feeling lost or unhappy with the weight of work, taking care for their child, and providing for their house. Also, parents can't take of their child cause of work. A parent needs physical support to be able to do duties.

Ex: therapy sessions, group therapy, daycare, Raising Kids Program, AZEIP (Arizona Early Intervention)

As technology improves by the minute their are better ways for students with disabilities to improve their learning. A low tech technology are using manipulatives such as alphabet blocks and Cuisenaire rods. Autistic kids learn best with hands-on and visual learning. A high tech technology are apps used on computers or tablets. There are apps which are helpful for learning. Some apps include vocab words with pictures so the child can determine each word. While other apps provide with emotions and sensory games. This is helpful for children who have harder time expressing their emotions and facial expressions. I think technology is important for education now that is has become more advanced and helpful especially for kids with disabilities. I also think parents should also be aware and know how to use it to assist their children with it.
