    It is important not to stereotype a child with a disability, as this can lead to low self-esteem, for example a child with specific learning needs might be expected to do poorly in all subjects at school not just the ones affected by the learning need and this is not always the case. Since I have worked in our setting I have been introduced to quite a few children which have different types of disabilities. We aim to make sure that each individual is treated the same and included in all activities by adapting the activity to the child's individual

    Many students have learning disabilities that can affect them in many ways weather being writing focusing on a task at hand, standing up to people, talking backwards, having to make things perfect and many more. But there can be a disadvantage to all that. Having certain learning disabilities can be treated unfairly in certain schools like being separated from kids that might help them, or being treated like little children. When in reality being with “normal” kids might help them more.sometimes their needs are met and sometimes they are not. Which that is what this report is all about.

    As Theodore Roosevelt said, "Nothing Worth Having Was Ever Achieved Without Effort" It is true that nothing comes easy and nothing is for free. My experience at college proves the truth of this quote. My experience as a freshman at Kingsborough Community College was very challenging. In the beginning, it was hard to adapt to the college environment which I had to give up on things I enjoyed, watching movies, hanging out with friends, sleeping 12 hours per day. I said to myself that I must get good grades and reach my goals.

When we talk about a child being Disabled we are talking about them having a physical impairment that hinders them or a mental impairment, and although both of these can lead to developmental delays it does not mean a child has special educational needs. “research suggests that about 6-7% of children are disabled. Children and young people with the most complex needs will require specialist services.

    It is not possible to reach broad conclusions about all students with disabilities, and even within groupings, caution should be exercised. Distinctions between categories of disability are not absolute. There is a wide range of severity, with and without co-occurring conditions.

    Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
