1. What are some of the key parts of IDEA? The video, Individuals with disabilities Education act: Explained (2016) , highlights some of the key parts of IDEA like its original name, how it is free, how it includes parent involvement, and that it falls under confidentiality protection. As specified in the Individuals with Disabilities Act, children with disabilities must receive free and appropriate education (FAPE). Children with disabilities must have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) to ensure that they make progress in school. It is the responsibility of the parents, teachers, administration, and related service providers to ensure that students receive the necessary accommodations and related services. In addition to being confidential, an IEP is also legally binding. IDEA has another purpose of educating students in the least restrictive environment (LRE), with the goal of moving them into regular classrooms. In accordance with the IDEA, students with disabilities are protected from being punished because of their disabilities. In addition to transitional services, students receive assistance in adjusting to the workplace. IDEA provides rights for parents as well. Before the evaluation process can begin, parents' consent is required. 2. Discuss four of the categories of SWD that you believe you will see most frequently. The video, Students with disabilities: Special education categories (2018) , clearly explained the 14 categories of students with disabilities and offered various teaching strategies specific to that category of disability. As a teacher, I will most likely encounter students with developmental delays. While working in early learning centers and elementary schools, I often encountered students who needed early intervention services. Speech therapy is commonly provided as part of these services. The likelihood of seeing speech language impairment is

therefore high. Additionally, it is common to see students with intellectual disabilities. It is common for special education students to receive special education teacher support services (SETSS), in which they are provided with individual lessons as well as small groups in specific subjects. Due to increasing awareness and prevalence of autism, I am also likely to encounter students with the disability most frequently. 3. What aspects of the Special Ed. Classroom impressed you the most? What aspects did not resonate with you? My favorite thing about her classroom was that it was warm, colorful, and inviting. In the video, Special education classroom tour (2019) , there was a lot of information on her bulletin boards, as well as inspirational quotes and messages. In the classroom, desks were arranged in small groups so that students could work together. Additionally, I was impressed with her reading area, which appeared to be a cozy place for students to read independently and sit alone at times. There were several bulletin signs that I found too high for children with special needs, especially those who use wheelchairs or who have visual impairments. Additionally, I wish she had provided a place for the large group instruction where students could sit together. References:  Melissa. (2019, August 25). Special education classroom tour [Video].
