The next time you are talking about someone with a disability DO NOT describe them as mentally ill or retarded. Instead refer to the individual as a person with a cognitive disability! That way you recognize the person and what they have.

Keep in mind that we are all human beings at the end of the day! Regardless of a persons disability, the person comes first! Remeber diabilites are not who people are they simply something people have!

Personally, I belive that in order to create good content, you have to know what you want your end product/goal to look like. With Differentiated Instruction its easy to almost plan the steps the opposite way they are delivered in the classroom. If you set goals for what you want the students to learn and identify by the end of a lesson, creating the content will be easy!

Inclusion always matters! Differentiated does not mean that students are left behind, but rather accomated in different ways to meet everyones needs. The main focus is on delivery and planning ahead.

The great thing about AT is that not one size fits all. An AT for a student can be anything that helps the student function at the same level as everyone else. This essentially means that Writing templates, pencil grippies, a pointer, or sticky notes can all be AT for a student!

If an educator does not consider all of their students in their lesson plan and classroom that is a problem. IEP's are a great tool to ensure that teachers are being inclusive in the classroom. Teachers should always be ready with backup batteries or pencils if needed for the use of an AT.

Just as humans grow and evolve it is important to recognize that the AT technologies used to help children and adults function on the same level are evolving with them. Recognize growth.
