Individualized Educational Programs

By observing many children with different IEP I got interested in their situation like they development, treatment and preparation. These children born with difficulties that with these programs can move forward or improve these impairments, But as a future teacher I got interested in the process that this children and their family have to do to receive this benefits.

According to the book Introduction to Contemporary Special Education by Deborah Deutsch Smith and Naomi Chowdhuri Tyler “Senator Tom Harkin represents the state of Iowa see how his brother, Frank, lost his ability to hear at very young age. Senator Harkin saw how low expectations, lack of accessibility, and discrimination restricted his brother participation in activities that most American’s take for granted”. I used this because in those days we don’t have all the information and knowledge we have now and I see we change many thing in the disability system, but we still have to upgrade the way we are educating our children that they can understand and accept them more the way education is functioning.

How serious the schools are taking the responsibility of this cases and how hard we work with them in their process, also teaching our children to accept to live together, work with children with IEP. I have been working with those cases and that why I want to talk about because I want to much better way and benefits for these children not only in schools also in our society.
