Class 3 - Thursday, February 9th 2012


Tonight we discussed the field of special education and the different issues that are addressed in each chapter of the textbook.  We touched briefly on the current main issues of each of the chapters.

Two websites that were mentioned tonight that were of interest are as follows:


  1. http://nichcy.org/ - National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities.  This helpful website contains a lot of information on helping children with disabilities, as well as information on disability laws in the US.
  2. http://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/ - The Iris Center.  This website contains many free online interactive resources to assist educating those with special needs.
We concluded the lesson by watching the film "Extraordinary People".  A video reflection post will follow.
