Initial Thoughts

In my opinion all teachers need to be aware of how to handle having a student with a disability in their classroom. The biggest key component to having a child with a disability in the classroom is having a strong relationship with the students parents. I agree that teachers should have frequent parent-teacher conferences in order to maintain an understanding of where that student is academically. Teachers should also be aware that a child's parent knows more about their child then the teacher does and by having a strong communication with a students parent a teacher can get a better understanding of how their child interacts with others and learns in a basic classroom setting.
