Special Needs. Seminar 1.

Special Needs

This seminar was incredibly useful. We have many students with invisible disabilities that are undervalued. We learned the laws for special needs in the USA and I think a country should offer all the necessary support for these students to succeed, open positions for them to study and to work.

The inclusion of students with disabilities is not a overnight process. It took almost 15 years in the USA, to change from the social inclusion to the content inclusion. However, both steps should be taken. In Colombia, not even the social inclusion is done. We are trying to include students with special  needs in regular school, but most of them don't have adapted currriculum, or flexible content. 

We experiences the feeling of somebody with dyslexia. Sometimes, we put reading activities, set time and it becomes in a frustrating task for students with this learning disability.
