Module 1 Lesson 1

1. One definition of Special Education.

Special Education refers to preparation of teaching procedures an materials, and
other interventions designed to address the needs of a child with learning
differences, disabilities, and giftedness.
1. What does the acronym IDEA stands for and give short information about it.
IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) is the federal law that supports
special education and related services programming for children and youth with
disabilities.
1. List down the 13 categories of disabilities that are served by IDEA.
Autism, Deaf-blindness, Deafness, Emotional Disturbance, Hearing impairments,
other health impairments, Speech or language impairments, Traumatic brain
injury, Visual impairments, Development delay
1. Share one experience when you encountered a person with a disability (tell the type of
disability) before you know about special education.
The only word my five-year-old niece could manage to say was "mama" because
she struggles to speak. I cannot understand a single word she says because when
she talks, it feels like her tongue’s tied and talks an alien language. I therefore
found it to be very odd. Additionally, only two of her fingers can be opened fully;
the rest are folded. I am unable to pinpoint her impairment or disability.
1. Share one experience when you encountered a person with a disability (tell the type of
disability) after you know about special education.
While I was walking home, I noticed a man across the street laughing aloud to
himself while sniffing a can of paint and acting as though he were chatting to
someone. I could tell right away that his impairment was emotional disturbance
only from a distance.
1. Give your reflection on your 2 experiences shared. (5-10 sentences)
Studying special education enables us to comprehend the struggles that
individuals with disabilities and impairments face. In my first encounter, I
assumed that since she develops as she grows, acting that way at such a young
age was simply typical. But I was mistaken. Actually, it was a disability that calls
for action. I have a greater grasp of them thanks to the two encounters I've had. I
can now recognize these limitations and impairments thanks to my knowledge in
special education.
