With the Thanksgiving holiday quickly approaching, I am reminded of all the many blessings in my life. Of the ones that I am most appreciative for, my family and friends are at the top of the list. So as we prepare to gather with those who are near and dear to us, let's appreciate the many qualities that each of those individuals bring to our lives (although we may find that those qualities have a way of working our last nerve on occasion,) it is their uniqueness that makes them who they are. I say that and I'm reminded of those individuals who see life a lot differently than we do because of the physical, emotional, or intellectual challenges that impair their view of the world due to their disability. In last week's post, I discussed the challenges that students face when struggling to make meaning of mathematical concepts. Just as students are identified with disabilities in Reading, there are also students who have disabilities in math. This week I did an interview with Dr. Delbrica Knowel an Educational Advocate for children in Foster Care and Phase II teacher in Special Education (click on the link below to listen to the audio). During her interview, Dr. Knowel discussed specific ways that she plans lessons so that she can meet the needs of each of her students. She also offers suggestions for parents of the Special Needs Learner when helping their child complete math assignments at home. I hope you enjoy this audio recording and I pray that your Thanksgiving is abundantly blessed! Until next time, go out there and be GREAT!
