Chapter 4 reflection

In Chapter 4 I learned that students with special needs are students who have disabilities. But those disabilities are not just physical as walking and motor coordination. Disabilities also include students who have visual and hearing impairments, attention deficits, autism and any other thing that make learning difficult. Now I know that technology is a great helper in student’s learning. With programs like concept mapping software, word prediction, text-to-speech, talking word-processing and others, help students with disabilities to improve writing, reading, and talking skills. I learned that teachers have to speak loud and clear in class so all students can understand what they are talking about without problems. I know that teach a student with disabilities is not an easy job but I’m sure all children can learn no matter what disability they have, with patience and with technology’s help teachers can encourage these children to achieve their goals.
