Entry #2


How have the courts influenced the development of education services for exceptional children?

The court system has a gradual impact in the lives of exceptional children and families. Free Appropriate Public Education is for students with disabilities who need additional attention. According to chapter two the court system has played a significant role in the lives of exceptional children and their families. I thought that our court system passing the free and appropriate public education act was one of the best things our court system could have done for exceptional students. It entitles all children to a free education and a right to the same advantages that non-disabled students have.

How are special educators using technology in the instruction of the exceptional students?

There are two types of technology that are there to help benefit students with exceptional needs. Assistive technology consists of tools that help the functioning of students with disabilities. Assistive Technology would be a person who is deaf that would have to use hearing aids, which would be assisting the child. Instructive technology includes the computer and help expand the computers advantages it brings. These two types of technology help with the child's learning and help make it more enjoyable for the students. I think this is a great idea to have technology in the classrooms for exceptional students to help build their confidence.

    Also, FAPE isn't a process. Take a look in your text and reconsider - is it something that happens, or is it something that kids deserve?
    For the instructional and assistive technology, how could you or where would you find an image?
    Please resubmit.
