203 Words1 Page

My two top areas of concerns which relates to students with ASD are: • Parental concerns • Faculty, para educator, and administrative training. As a parent of a child with special education needs, the lack of information is the number one issue I face when it comes to dealing with the disability.

Parents and educators do not always have all the information they need to make good decisions about whether a particular student is “exceptional” and the category of exceptionality. Lack of information impedes the ability to comprehend the challenges children with ASD face. An effective parent-advocate possess the ability to gather as much

There are several factors that may contribute to the rising prevalence rate of ASD. Like other disabilities, the occurrence rate of ASD for boys is five times higher than it is for girls. There could be several reasons for this disparity (Hallahan, Kauffman, Pullen, 2015, pp. 211).

Noting, this is how a student with a learning disability feels on a regular bases. Teachers should be mindful of the characteristics of children with learning disabilities; they need to take this into account when providing instruction and asking questions with regard to the lesson. Another great point that was addressed, is the idea that if a person is being yelled at to provide information repeatedly their first response is to look away.

    Before the 1960s, students with disabilities usually did not have the same opportunities as those without disabilities. Parents were beginning to take a more active role in their child’s education and beginning to question why their child with a disability could not be educated in a public school setting (Friend, 2014, p. 11). Because parents began speaking up for their child’s rights, several important decisions were made. In the case Pennsylvania Association for Retarded Children v. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (1972), it was decided that children with intellectual disabilities would value from a free public education that was “tailored to their needs” (Friend, 2014, p. 11). In the same year, the decision was made again in the court case Mills v. Board of Education that all students must be educated regardless of their educational needs and that there would be a special process to determine eligibility (Friend, 2014, p. 11).

In the past, these children were considered mentally retarded, “…were often denied a public education and were likely to reside in a state-operated institutions” (Heward,126). These children also did not receive funding for health care. Today, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) enables not just students with disabilities to have related services, but also provides parents counseling and training where they learn to understand the needs and information about their child and their development.
