The find it extremely difficult to become part of  their environment, increase independence and interact socially with their peers. Most orthopedic impaired children can´t access therapies offered by private instututions and tend to look for the government sector which in the long run it affects economy as well. 
Assistive technology is any object or device that gives an individual more access to the general class environment. School accommodations and sometimes modifications are required to please their needs. Teachers play such an  important role to create an impact on their lives. Besides additional or separate evaluations or assessments that are necessary to identify the child’s educational needs differentiation strategies are also required.

Unfortunately, there are many disorders that have not been entirely qualified by experts. For instance, it was not until less than a decade ago that psychiatrist noticed there was a difference between Borderline and Bipolar disorder. This caused that many people took the "wrong" medication, thus enhancing disturbed behavior even more. 

In my own words, Emotional and Behavioral Disorders refer to a set of different conducts that happen in a person, not impairing their cognitive processes, but rather covering them in a layer of painful experiences that become a priority before anything else, especially when it comes to children. Depression, for instance, will not allow the person suffering from it to focus on their tasks at work or school.

Deaf refers to a severe hearing loss. It could be mild to profound. 
Hard of Hearing refers to hearing loss but the difference is that there might be enough residual hearing to use hearing aids to process the speech such as cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, sign language, lip reading, interpreters or captioning. 

They might both have a common problem which is that their speech could be difficult to understand since they do not listen to their voice.

Technologies and accommodations should be mandatory in all learning centers to provide all students the tools to continue learning. 

Cochlear implantS, for example, are not available for everyone, so how to adapt the classroom for this students. 

Making them feel as comfortable as possible will help to their performance and development through learning; that should be the goal. 
Make sure to have a clear line of sight so everything that is in the front is visible. 

Having Caption or interpreted video could be really useful. Make sure that the speed of the video makes it easy for the student to read and understand. 

Interpreters are not always available, but when you have one try to give enough pauses for everyone to understand. Also give moments for all the students participate. 

Adapting your class for special needs students will make them feel comfortable and empowered to continue their way in learning. ]]> 2022-09-09 22:52:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jacquelineamadavelasco/sfoh0g6awdwggwot/wish/2290318855 1) What is Autism? ixarmenta27 https://padlet.com/jacquelineamadavelasco/sfoh0g6awdwggwot/wish/2290334560 Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurological and developmental disorder that affects how people interact with others, communicate, learn, and behave. Although autism can be diagnosed at any age, it is described as a “developmental disorder” because symptoms generally appear in the first two years of life. This definition was taken from this page.

    • Adaptive functioning (activities of daily life such as communication and independent living).
    Additionally, the intellectual and adaptive deficit begin early in the developmental period.

The outcome of TBI can range from complete recovery to permanent damage or death.
