There is a sad stigma associated with special education and students being “labeled” as special needs. I feel like we should better educate students and parents so that they have a better understanding of what special education is and how to treat our students with special needs. This will aid in a classroom/ school community that is totally inclusive.

On first thought- Specialized learning for only a specific percentage of students. In actuality though, I think special education is a valuable mindset and approach when it comes to teaching any and all children. Whether there are IEPs or not, all children need and deserve a differentiated education.

I often think of the convergence of queer identities and disability, and how we can support one by supporting the other. Also thinking about identify language in light of that, and how community language often differs from outside language (e.g. we get to use queer, non-LGBTQ folks don’t; disability community prefers disability first language over person first, etc)
