LAI 574 Final Project
By: Jennifer Burden
Competency 1:
I chose to simply talk about all the different categories of disabilities and what their definitions are. I think this relates back to this class in that every week, with the exception of a few, we learned about one or two specific categories of disability. This obviously relates back to what we learned in class in that every week I learned a new definition that will help me in my future classroom. A large part of being a teacher is knowing what you are working with, so learning what the IDEA defines specific disabilities as can be a huge help. Not only does it help you learn about what your students are dealing with, it can also be a big help in writing IEP's, which I talk about in a later competency response.
