Some of these theories have been developed by very well known psychologists such as Carl Rogers, B.F Skinner, Bandura, and Raymond Cattell.

Richer Milner IV, Author of Start Where You Are, But Don’t Stay There: Understanding Diversity, Opportunity Gaps, and Teaching in Today’s Classroom, believes that there are students placed in this program for two reasons: Teachers don’t want to deal with them or don’t know how to be responsive to them. Therefore, special education should not be blame for the disproportion or to be seen as a program to discriminate students because of their
As a Special Education Teacher, I am committed to working with children who have challenging behaviors. My objective is to help students develop self-regulating skills and to be able to function as part of a group. I believe that every child should be given the opportunity to achieve their maximum potential of communication and functional independence in order to build self-esteem and self-awareness. Through the mastering of these essential skills, a student will gain the ability to reach their fullest potential in all aspects of their lives. My overall goal is to make difference in the lives of my students by providing an educational program that will maximize the abilities of my students and prepare them for a more independent setting to
Gersten, Carnine, & White (1976) In this article Gersten, Carnine, & White discuss how Direct Instruction and Applied Behavior Analysis complement each other. The reason why these two work so well together is because both forms of instruction require clarity. The article describes what all goes into Direct Instruction and henceforth what can result from Direct Instruction. For Direct Instruction to be successful, the instructions and delivery need to be clear.
Knowing their needs is important to adapt the practices and to respect them as individuals. According to the author (Raymond, 2012), the perception of the students about the services they receive determine the outcome of the education efforts. For that, the teachers ' role is to guarantee that the student does not feel inferior, unequal, wich would be the negative conotation of the special education placement (Raymond, 2012). Instead of focusing on their difficulties, teachers should focus on reducing the gaps with more inclusive
During the course of this unit, I have been able to gain new knowledge that is focused on children who have special learning needs that I may teach in my classroom in future. The key learning outcomes for me over the duration of this course was that I learnt that the term “special needs” does not always refer to those children with disabilities but that all learners have needs in the classroom during learning .It is also important that I use positive behaviour approaches when communicating with my students as well as using positive language when conversing to colleagues or parents, etc., where a child is concerned. The introduction of UDL and it’s principles in education was also very beneficial as it will support me during my lesson planning

Children with special needs are referred to as exceptional children, in the United States education, care, and treatments are accomplished through interaction and collaboration between public health and education field. A well known exceptional person, Hellen Keller beat the odds and became an author and activist for people with disabilities. Summary In ‘Teaching Exceptional Children: Foundations and Best Practices in Inclusive Early Childhood Education Classrooms’, the author focuses on inclusion. The inclusion movement is apart of the social model of disability, which is the way society views and defines disability.
Still, special education is one responsibility that we cannot afford to get wrong. Instruction can play a significant part in their prospective outcomes. Therefore we need to develop a well-defined philosophy regarding special education that considers the laws, your beliefs, and feelings related to working with students with exceptionalities. To become a better educator, I have developed my own personal philosophy with those considerations

The transition from primary to post-primary education is one of the most drastic of those changes, and schools need to be equipped to accommodate that transition. For special educational needs, many steps need to be taken in order to familiarize both parties with the conditions they live with and how success can be met. In order for students to feel comfortable and make the transition as smooth as possible, there are many things that schools can do to ensure this success. In order for special education pupils to succeed, schools need to create inclusion in the classrooms and with peers, so that SEN pupils can interact with other students and experience real world classroom time. For students with disabilities, schools need to take some necessary steps in order for a beneficial transition to take place.
Teachers may profit from having a varied population of students as teachers get a chance to improve their teaching skills and ability to distinguish lessons and activities when such different children are in their class. Regular teachers need to work closely with other teachers and specialists to meet the needs of diverse children, thus enhancing their collaboration skills. It also allows to develop an awareness and appreciation of students’ individual difference (National Center on Inclusive Education 2001). Besides, children with disabilities can motivate regular teachers to be more imaginative with their teaching methods, skills and come up with up-to-date methods of delivering lesson that fits all learners. Regular teachers may realize that all pupils have potencies, which can be useful and vital to their entire classroom, and these potencies can be fostered to produce a profound school experience (Kinza 2008).
