they can express themselves freely. I’ll make sure to address all their needs. I will make them
feel secure and loved I want them to feel that they are special and just like normal students they
also have the right to learn. I know it will be hard but I will teach them step by step so that it will
not be hard for them. I will treat them equally like how I treat normal students I will make them
more special because they are unique and behind their disability I believe there is a talent that no
