The topic I find most interesting in the realm of Special Education is the topic of Gifted and Talented students, what GT looks like, and how to accommodate the exceptional students.

All whom gets to experience the exceptional skills of a gifted student benefits from them. Should the student be socially competent, the interactions and exchange of skills, insight, and flare between the general education students and the exceptional students help create a collaborative space for all. Students who excel in specific subjects are able to offer their understanding of the content, present a new perspective, and assist the teacher in sessions such as Station Teaching.

3 Facts About IDEA and How It Supports Our Students:

Fact 1: Individuals with Disability Education Act is a nation's special education law, and schools must find and evaluate students thought to have disabilities. This comes at no cost to families.

Fact 2: IDEA places two big responsibilities on states and their public schools. First, school districts must provide a free appropriate public education (FAPE) to kids with disabilities. Second, schools have to give parents a voice in their child's education. At every point in the process, parents have rights. This is called procedural safeguards.

Fact 3: To get services under IDEA, parents can request an evaluation at any time. If a school thinks a child might have a disability, it must conduct an evaluation.
