Thank you for the advice. I was sent to a special education class right after kindergarten simply because of my severe visual disability. The teachers argued over my capabilities right in front of me, forbidding me to get involved in sports programs. If I were given the opportunity to put in my honest effort then pull out, then I would have had no problems. However, they forcibly sidelined me, then put on my report card that I was anti social because I never took part in any sports. This took place in the mid 60s. I'm so glad that today's children have the backup that I was deprived of.

As a disabled person if you try to work hard just like everybody else people look down on u for trying and that why disabled shaming people destroys there confidence and disabled people don’t get treated like a human being they get treated like sub humans and if a disabled person ever going to make it in this world they would have to advocate for themselves and not rely on people and fight hard for what they want and not give a rat ass what people tell them

As someone who used to be in special education, it was horrible! I started taking it back in kindergarten because the teacher was concerned over the fact that I used to pace back and forth a lot and fidget as well. They put me as well as other students in a separate classroom to do separate schoolwork. Ever since I took it it made me feel different and made me feel like I was too stupid to do anything. Back in middle school my special Ed teacher at the time tried to take me out of German class because she thought I couldn’t handle learning a different language and also put me in special Ed math and English classes (they didn’t teach us grade level math). Luckily I was able to take German but the special Ed teachers still tried to talk me into not taking it again in later years. On the plus side though I was able to get into a regular English class in 8th grade and eventually got out of special Ed as a whole at the end of my sophomore year but I am not in a grade level math class. Right now I am a senior and although I’m out of special ed I still hate it to this day and worried if my future will be effected because of it.

I absolutely love how this was broken down. Thank you for such an excellent breakdown as a behavioral therapist this motivated me so much

Man when they put me in special ed classes back in the 90’s early 00’s they just segregated me in the cubicle and they said I was just “slow”. As an adult I was finally diagnosed with ADHD. I wonder if they had done it differently back then, would I be more successful? Ah well

Haha you know whats funny, as a kid I was so lazy they thought I was mentally disabled. Now i'm making a's and b's with hundreds in every class. Its sad because that whole sped thing could have ruined my education for the rest of my life.

The explanation is straight forward and it is a very helpful resource. It is very well organized and structured, the visuals highlight the key points of what it involves in a short amount of time. Thank you so much.

I really liked all the information in this video. As a parent of a special education child, this video was very helpful and provided a more clear insight into eligibility, legislation, modification, curriculum, inclusion, and much more! Thank you!

I can’t wait to become a SPED Teacher, I would like to teach either Elementary or Middle school. Thank you for this video I appreciate it so much!🥰

[byeteaching]

Fantastic content! I appreciate how you've provided concrete examples of mistakes and offered practical solutions. Your advice will undoubtedly help teachers navigate the job market outside of education more effectively. Well done!

[gnetdejesus]

Thank you for this presentation. It is very helpful resource because of its simple and clear explanations of the subject.

[dracojensei]

Now this just my 2 cent no one knows you better but yourself! Now I remember I was in high school taking regular classes Math, Science, History etc. Now my grades on some of the subject was good beside math was my worst subject. But all of a sudden they pulled me outta my regular classes put me in a class called life skills now I think they pick and chooses who need classes like those. Get out find a job and be independent on your own don’t get me wrong it was good experience for real world adventure for living on your own with bills and moving out your parent house. I didn’t like they move me life skill and cooking classes, I really wanted my high school dilopma. Some ppl have to get GED. Special Ed Dilopma is another way of them saying you pass now you can move on but certain college will accept it if you plan on going for trade though.

[wolfie_snowflake]

Well I was kind of hoping to get to know what to expect when pulled but the special ed teacher as I was told it will happen soon. But this is cool to know.

[sliverdragon]

The thing with special education the system still has many flaws the student still has to have Determination and has to work twice as hard than a person who not disabled and I’m living proof of that I had to fight all my life in order to move up in life. the sad reality most people don’t give a damn about disabled people growth and it’s a never ending battle u either advocate and use leverage to get far or u remain weak and accept things the way they are with out trying this world doesn’t respect the weak
