Education

The education of students with disabilities has evolved significantly in the past 50-75 years, and it has not always been a topic that all agree upon. Many lawsuits and subsequent laws and litigation have driven the education system to require that every student who has a disability receive a free appropriate public education. The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn and summarize some of the most important actions that have affected the rights of students and their families in relation to special education.

The term “learning disability” was introduced in the 1960’s and evolved to be known as “specific learning disability” with the passing of the IDEA Amendments of 2004. The purpose of this assignment is to facilitate an understanding of the types of learning disabilities that fall under the umbrella of specific learning disability.

Every child needs someone who believes in them. As an educator, you are in a unique position to both identify and understand the individual needs of a student. However, advocating for what’s best for a student is not only a teacher’s responsibility, it is shared among parents, caregivers, other professionals, and the student themselves. This assignment is meant for you to determine definitions, descriptions, and best practice tips for advocacy in special education.

Identify a team that you are currently participating in or a team with which you have worked in the past. Identify norms, rules, and any explicit ground rules that were developed for the team.

Your response must be at least 400 words in length.
