Answer preview

The itinerant model places more responsibility on the educator to provide exceptional support and care for students who live with a disability. The same educators have the inherent responsibility of providing education to every student and the students with disabilities. At times, the students with disabilities may have difficulty coping with the pace of the regular curriculum because of their unique conditions (Kaufman, Hallahan, & Pullen, 2019). The teacher must go out of their way to ensure that they are on par with the rest. In so doing, the teacher often spends so much time with these students that might disrupt the institution’s regular schedule. The teacher is forced under these circumstances to spend two more hours with the disabled student Pete which interferes with the timetable. The educator also must develop a unique education program that is supposed to incorporate the frequent visits that they make to provide exceptional care to these students.
