Special Education

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how social (views of society as a whole) and political (especially as evidenced in laws passed) influences will always have to be a consideration when designing and implementing special education laws. It also looks at how it is the job of the special educators to find ways to help students with special needs as effectively as possible within legal guidelines.

From the Paper:

"Another approach to providing individualized instruction has been to use psychometric information to guide instructional approaches. In this approach, the child's evaluation provides information regarding which modality seems the strongest learning channel for him or her. So some children might receive a visual emphasis, while for others the emphasis might be on auditory or kinesthetic input. However, in some programs, a multisensory approach is used, applying teaching techniques that address multiple modalities at once (Vaughn & Linan-Thompson, 2003). This is also sometimes called a "multi-sensory" approach."
