Schools are required to provide necessary accommodations for qualifying students to have an equal opportunity to participate in the school program. This written plan is developed by an IEP team for students in need of special education. This plan outlines how the school will provide a free and appropriate education in the least restrictive environment and is usually initiated by the teacher or administrator. However, parental involvement is required (Department of Health, 2010).

For a child in my centre with certain needs, we can invite a specialist staff from the school to be part of a professional network to support families and children. We can check with the specialist staff on the financial support that the school may provide and facilities available in the school as students with special needs need to be taught differently or need some accommodations to enhance the learning environment.

What does the Individuals with Disabilities Education Improvement Act of 2004 (IDEIA) state about providing services to children between the ages of birth to three?

Laws and regulations pertaining to a child with disabilities are continuously changing. Though many of these changes over time are beneficial to the well-being of most students, there are some changes that spark debate on whether or not the change being implemented is actually beneficial to the students. This is the case with one particular law. In 2015, a law was enacted generating schools to phase out of standardized testing with modifications catered to students with special needs or intellectual disadvantages by U.S Secretary of Education, Arne Duncan. My opinion on this new policy is negative. I do not believe students who suffer from disabilities should have the option of modified testing taken away from them.

I felt very privileged to be able to get the opportunity to listen to Jo and Jody talk about their lives. Both of these individuals broaden my perspective on life and how I can do things to impact others lives. I think overall the health of these individuals have directly impacted their lives and longevity. It was amazing seeing how these two interacted with each other and hearing about the great joy they both brought to each other’s lives.

In these institutions, these children were treated poorly and did not receive the proper treatment they needed or deserve. Jo described how this was not a choice for his wife or him and that they were going to take Jody home and raise him like they would another other child. This was the same attitude Jo and his wife had when raising Jody and did everything they could to provide him with the best quality
