@EXC4020 Because they do not get attention from the teachers. Teachers will need to help those that don't understand the work. So gifted students will end up just sitting there waiting on others to catch up. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Recognizing students strengths. School personnel should make sure that teachers are trained to recognize giftedness in culturally linguistically diverse learners complete checklists incorporating multiple criteria. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 A lot of the questions on the gifted test are things that you would know if you from the United States. For example if you are gifted, but also a newly arrived immigrant, you may not be scored as gifted. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Something that I noticed was that every requirement was standardized test based. There are multiple forms of intelligence and it only tests for one. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 The disability may mask the true talents or abilities of the student. Meaning teachers may be focused solely on the students disability that they overlook the individuals abilities or special talents. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 There really isn't a good answer for this! The book mentions that counseling, acceleration, using noncompetitive learning strategies or work study programs, and the integration of personal interests into school work may work well. #exc4020

@EXC4020 Educations is a good counter to "learned helplessness". Educating students and giving them the safe space to explore their full capabilities. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 This provides students with disabilities an opportunity to learn and practice functional skills across a variety of community settings. Skills often are taught along with functional skills. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Independence in their day to day life. Such as taking care of themselves, being able to communicate with others, knowing how to dress themselves, call 911, administer their own medical perceptions, etc. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 I would try to help them feel comfortable with being around the general education setting. After this a good example of making them feel more valued within the school could be allowing them to do morning announcements. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Being clear to the general ed population of students about things such as: words to use, specific limitations, and providing information about special needs. Its important to not assume students already know how to behave around someone that has special needs. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 We as educators can work with students that have severe disabilities by better understanding how they communicate and learn. The goal of education for students with moderate to severe disability is the same as for non disabled students. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Hello everyone! #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Accommodations such as: use of assistive technology, help from a person, alteration in material, and an alteration in activities and curriculum can benefit those that are physically impaired. These accommodations should prove to be helpful for those that need them. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 This is important because certain students with health impairments will all need different things. These things might be testing for the level of glucose in blood to determine insulin dosage. Along with, assistive devices being provided by those that need them. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 Being educated about their disability. Will allow us as educators to not underestimate their ability. Progress looks different for different students. And we as educators should not compare students to others in the class. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 A diverse group of conditions comprise of those that have health impairments. Most students will have normal intelligence and may not appear ill. For this reason, they can be looked upon as "invisible". #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 There are many different types of assistive technology that may be used. Some of the types address positioning, hand and arm use, communication, mobility, and access to school activities. These technologies help make every day activities easier for those need them. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 For one, the schools councilors and administration would be helpful. Teachers are not doctors, but there are people within the school that can help in this case. #exc4020

[Justin Lee @JustinL45661222]

@EXC4020 To give an opportunity to students to know what expected behavior should be. #exc4020
