I had a similar experience with my second grade teacher. We were supposed to draw a tree. Think lollipop tree. I drew a tree with lots of branches and colorful leaves. I was told that I didn't follow directions. The only directions were to draw a tree. I vowed to become a teacher because I didn't want to see kids being judged for being their creative selves.
This woman is a real one.

She is superb
I was a special ed student during my whole school career. When I was in my local public school (pre-k, kindergarten, first grade, and then transferred back for high school), I was in mostly mainstream classes with a one to one aide, as well as certain accommodations.
Part of what makes it hard to deal with tweens and teens with added difficulties is that it can be difficult to decipher which behaviors are just typical adolescent behaviors, and which ones are related to their difficulties.
She is so beautiful inside and out. I can tell she is a wonderful teacher!
You and I were both 4th graders when we discovered our calling! I can tell that you are a major blessing to those you serve!
So inspiring to see a teacher so committed to her own growth as well as her students. Never doubt the ripple effect your efforts will make on the world and thank you. :)
Are there tons of neurodivergent people who are really into motor vehicles and motor machinery?
Hi, I have Asperger Syndrome, so maybe I can help you better understand middle school age students with additional difficulties. Now, I am an adult, but I was a middle school student at one point. One thing to know about us is that some of us (particularly those on the Autism Spectrum) don't easily understand when the rules don't need to be followed, even if they are at an age where most people are beginning (or have begun) to understand this. For example, when children are very young, they are often taught that fairness means everyone gets ONE cupcake. Or FOUR turns on the slide. I used to think it wasn't fair if my parents seemed to be letting my brother (two years younger than me, and non-disabled) off easy for something that would have gotten me a reprimanding, or at the very best, a good, long talking to, when I was the same age. It sometimes even made me feel like they loved him more. Here is another example. Let's imagine that a student with Autism notices a similar aged peer reading something that is more for younger children. That student might say something like, "Tommy, that is for younger kids!!! You shouldn't be reading that!!!" This student is not saying that to be mean, they are saying that because that is what they understand. This student doesn't understand that their peer is reading this because of reading or comprehension difficulties. If we notice even the slightest infraction in our perceived or learned rules, we might call you out on it right then and there, no matter who is around, and we may even decide that we do not like you anymore.
Another thing you should know about us is that, just like most other tweens and young teens, we might be starting to notice how others do things differently from how we were taught to do them. The difference is that some of us might not yet understand that others might have a different understanding of how things should be done. However, instead of doing what we see others doing, in an attempt to fit in, we might attempt to control those around us, in order to feel validated. For example, let's imagine that Shelby overhears Lisa saying to the cafeteria staff, "give me some chicken and veggie casserole," instead of saying, "may I have some chicken and veggie casserole, please?" Shelby says to Lisa (right in front of everybody), "Lisa, you should know by now that you need to say please and thank you!!!!" Shelby is not doing this to make Lisa feel badly. She has always been taught to say please and thank you, and she is simply unaware that Lisa might not have been taught this, or might not understand this in the same way.
A third thing to remember is that we want what every other tween or teen wants, and that is to have friends, and to feel accepted and validated. We want to be able to do all of the cool things everyone else our age does, like going to the mall, hanging out with friends, going to parties, etc.
thank you
Thank you 😊
This is really nice to hear. It kinda helps me understand how people with autism/Asperger’s understand the world.
It’s such a blessing seeing someone so passionate about helping others. I love this, God bless you, and every teacher who has a heart for others ❤
No student should feel reject I was in SP. Edu you great. Person great job
I have Aspergers and I have a dual credential in special education and gen ed. I am a special education teacher.
How exciting!
I’m an RSP teacher who has experience in elementary and thinking of taking an opportunity in middle school.....I think this video might have swayed my decision! 👍🏼
I was in special ed from Elementary through my sophomore year of high school after that I peer tutor in special ed I know how they feel whether you were going to accept or not
my sister and i were in special ed kindergarten through 3rd grade, but then our parents moved us to regular classes once we started 4th grade.
lucky, i stayed in special ed pre k to middle school. got put into some RSP classroom until i graduated from high school. is kinda like another special ed classroom. barley graduated because i have a learning disability, i stutter often or or have a difficult time trying to learn something. they put me in another program in college for students with disabilities,, because i needed the help but ended up flunked out of college. it was hard learning there....
I am a sped elementary teacher major in general special education,I said to myself I will not teach middle school,but after watching this video,I change my mind, thanks for this video😊
Are there tons of neurodivergent people who are really into motor vehicles and motor machinery?
For some reason after I stopped having to go to special ed in 5th grade I kind of became an ableist for a while.
I had an IEP. Thankful
I am mostly was a special ed student all the way to my year when I had grad that my reading and my spilling was not really that good.

I have
-DMD
-ADHD
-Severe Anxiety Disorder
I currently have a 504 plan and my mother requested an IEP so they put me into title 1 until January 12, and see if my NWEA scores goes up and if not I’ll get one, but if not my mother will probably force them to test me. Even now I still get extra help so there’s this class (not title 1) it’s made just for IEP and 504 Plan students and it’s where the case manager works and 2 para’s (they both come in to help me and some other people) and I do some of my work there and do some of my assessments!!
-NWEA is New Hampshire state testing btw

Yo I also I a iep I’m getting a test for disorders soon so it will get added to my iep
Do special education teachers help kids with anxiety, depression and OCD?
In order for a Special Education teacher to help a student with one of those disorders, they would first need to reach out to their school's counselor, who would then determine if the student qualifies for Special Education Services.
Not enough
Emotional disturbance IS one of the 13 disabilities that would qualify for special education services.
Depends on the program that's probably one for EBD or CBI to handle
I was in a Special Ed class, because of my learning disability. My question is, what types of learning disabilities are there, besides dyscalcia, dyslexia, and illiteracy? Mine is trouble understanding information and instructions, but I don't know what it's _called._ Maybe it's directly my Autism Spectrum Disorder?
There are a few learning disabilities that can make it difficult to understand instructions. It could an auditory processing disorder, adhd (inattentive type especially foes unnoticed), or dyspraxia which can make it difficult if instructions are given in a series.
@@kristalcampbell3650 I thought dyspraxia wasn’t a learning disability
@@johnrainsman6650 it can impact learning because of the fine motor issues that make written work difficult, the difficulty with multi step instructions, it can come with apraxia with impacts speech, and difficulty planning and organising thoughts. All of those aspects of it mean that people with dyspraxia might need varying levels of support. Strictly speaking though its a developmental disorder.
@@kristalcampbell3650 I still don’t quite get what a learning disability is, and how ignorant _doesnt_ affect intelligence. I feel when disabled learners always makes the impression we’re unintelligent, especially with my slow understanding
@@johnrainsman6650 it's not about being unintelligent or ignorant. It means that your brain is wired differently. You might learn in ways most people don't or need information given to you in smaller chunks rather than all at once.
All I can say is being in special education most of my life made my life into invisible nightmare I didn't do jack schitt in special education I had discrimination racist teacher telling me I wasn't going to be just yet when I grow up the special education system is racist i
what I being in special education if you are black add Middle Eastern please keep in mind they would treat you very different and what I know this is how some of these special ed teachers they have relationship with their students if they like them this is what I noticed when I was in special one of my classmate a lot depends on the teacher if they like you or not they didn't like me and they kept getting me in trouble for some reason because they didn't like me brought marijuana to school and my special ed teacher she defend him
So true 100 percent.
@@thugmagicthugnificentdr.th7589 how was your life
@@darkman1834 Amazing until highschool got separated from friends different classes
amanda jean bieber
She has been . A teacher for many years
Is adhd and dyslexia sped or no
You’re lucky, ADHD isn’t sped you’re just sometimes stressed and you need help on something.
Sped are people with learning disabilities. That means dyslexia or Autism.

Students was a paid actor.
Please do not make jokes.
accurate
If she's acting, I don't see the problem, as long as the kids are learning and gaining useful skills. We're all actors. Act right.
God no
I think she’s magnificent. She made me well-up.🥹
