Paige Gwyin CPT 2 Use two reliable sources to complete sections 1 and 2. Your textbook may be one of the sources. You do not need to formally cite the sources, but you do need to write what they are. Section 1: Most Influential Special Education Laws Use your two sources to list the provisions of each piece of legislature. Americans with Disabilities Act Individuals with Disabilities Education Act Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 Signed into law in 1990. In place so one with a disability has access to get around and get what is needed for success. Prohibits discrimination to anyone with a disability in many areas. Ensures that one who has a disability has the same rights and same opportunities as any other person Employment – jobs or job opportunities Public services – transportation, Public accommodations – restrooms, public spaces Telecommunications – braille, interpreters, Miscellaneous - Broken up into 5 parts sectioned off as Title 1-5 (Source 1 listed below) (book) The IDEA is in place so that all students have the right to a free appropriate and public education no matter how mild or severe the disability is. The IEP also falls into the IDEA provisions to ensure that all students have access to the needs and supports they need in order to succeed in education. Making sure that a child is in a place that is least restrictive also falls under this ensuring all kids have a space that is least restrictive for them to get their education and needs met. Ensuring a child has proper evaluations for services (US dept. of ed) (book) In place so one with a disability is not discriminated against and receives equal opportunities and services. Allows for one with a disability to have the same opportunities and access to everything. Ensures the child or student receives a free and appropriate public education (Hhs.gov) (Book)

Gifted Students Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Students Able to comprehend information at a higher level of their grade and peers Very curious Have wonders and educational interest in unique topics Learn at a fast pace Loves intellectual work tasks Gifted in learning aspects Can pick up on another language quickly More than one language generally Wide variety of experiences Sources: brown.edu & soeonline.american.edu Part 3: Inclusion through Literature One way to promote inclusion is through quality literature about diverse learners. This website has many wonderful resources about special education. Click on the link below and find a multitude of books, both fiction and non-fiction, that are about people from the 13 IDEA disability categories. https://iris.peabody.vanderbilt.edu/resources/books/
1. Choose a book from the category of learner on which you presented. Find it on YouTube or at the library and read it. Briefly summarize it, discuss what you liked about it as it pertains to inclusion, and how you could see using it in your classroom. 2. Choose a book from a category you did not present on and do the same. Book 1: The book I chose that goes with what I presented on is called Hannah’s Down Syndrome Superpowers written by Lori Leigh Yarborough, PI illustrated by Roksana Oslizlo. The book portrays Hannah to be a “superhero princess” and then dives in to discuss her disability and how it affects her daily life and how she learns and lives. It also discusses how she is alike other students in the classroom and how she is not just a “different child”. I found this book to be special because it was written by a mother who has a child with Down Syndrome. She is not just a mother but also a pediatric physical therapist and she uses this book as a way to help others understand the disability. This book highlights how to help and be a friend to those with a disability and does it in a way children can then get an understanding. This book pertains to inclusion because as educators we will have students with this disability and more in our classroom. It highlights how to interact and have a child with Down Syndrome and how to interact and how it affects the daily life of them. I could see myself using this in my classroom to do some ore teaching and give my other students insight on disabilities and how they are all unique. This would be a way for me to embrace all differences my students bring to the table and how they are all the same but different all in one and how some students need different things to learn. I feel it is nice to do teaching on cultures and disabilities, so all feel welcome in the classroom. It would spark discussions and ways for students to learn more in depth about it. Book 2: The second book I chose is called Ian’s walk written about Laurie Lears, illustrated by Karen Ritz. This book is about a child who has Autism. His two sisters go for a walk and their mother tells the girls their brother must join. He begins to display certain behaviors that align directly with his diagnosed disability. The instances in the book are very real and would be typically what you

see with a child with autism. It then begins to describe his sisters’ feelings on him and his disability and just raw emotions within the story and how they deal with the behaviors and daily life. They then describe his disability and go in depth. I liked how this book explains his disability and how the family handles specific things and describe his disability to others. I see myself using this book as a teaching moment for all of my students and also using it for social cues and to help my students feel included in our classroom. You can then do lesson and have discussions on everyone is unique and then using this for background knowledge the students would have some insight or idea on a child in our room who appears to be different.
