[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 43495, member: 1967"] They had to sit together? Talk about being stigmatized. My team teacher and I go out of our way to make sure that there is no differentiation between Special Education and regular ed students. We also sat our two Asperger's students in a way that they are situated with the rest of the class but made sure that their parapro has easy access to them. He checks on them regularly but doesn't make them sit next to him. Both my team teacher and I walk around the room and help all of the students whether they are reg ed or Special Education. That does lead to problems when making accommodations like extra time on tests. Again, it becomes and issue of "why does he get extra time and I don't?" We have solved that problem for now by taking the tests or quizzes to a Special Education teacher or resource teacher that the students have later in the day and have them finish the assessments there. That way it is not so noticeable to the other students. Janet ~ You are right. It would be much harder for me to keep a "special" supply box in a high school setting. I could theorectically have 150 boxes which would be a logistical nightmare. Not to mention that I don't have time to hand out pencils everyday. Also, difficult child or not, Special Education or not, I firmly believe there comes a point where the student needs to be held accountable. Eventually, even difficult children will have to hold down a job and no one will be willing to baby them or keep up with their things for them. Just my opinion. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
