[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 513709, member: 11791"] Never thought of this before, but our area makes a distinction between "supported ed" and "Special Education". Special Education = the kids who have obvious "mental" problems... IQ, EQ, behavior, etc.... MR, Downs, etc. It always means some level of segregation, being "mainstreamed" means doing their own thing in a mainstream class... usually. Supported ed = kid in mainstreamed class, with "help". And then there's the issue of the "helper". Some are REALLY good... and some are not. The good ones know how to "help everybody", and thereby cover for the kids who are getting most of the help... they do not draw attention to the ones they are officialy there for. [/QUOTE]
