Journal 6

In this week, we learned what low-incidence disabilities are. They include but are not limited to:

• hearing impairments
• orthopedic impairments
• visual impairments
• autism
• deafness
• blindness
• traumatic brain injury
• developmental delay.

When working with kids with these disabilities, you automatically notice their differences. You can then apply what we learned from the previous week-assessing and analyzing their needs. With this you can find what best fits their needs. But be aware that two children have the same disability, but they may handle it differently, and some characteristics may be more dominant in one than in the other. You want to understand what each individual child needs, and go from there.
