And I get annoyed. <br /><br />Okay, I visited the classroom for our more severely disabled students the other day and I was so overwhelmed by the noise and chaos. Working with kids with severe and multiple disabilities is my love in life, but I've been working with kids with mild to moderate disabilities for awhile now, so I'm out of practice. My students cuss and say awful things to each other -- I don't blink an eye, but the shriek of a child who is nonverbal startles me again. That makes me sad. But it also lets me know that I'm out of practice. Which means I can get back into practice. Which means that anyone else can too. . . if they stop awarding sainthood to others as an excuse for not getting to know these kids themselves. <br /><br />Anyway, agreed.

I loved this movie, but again someone felt it was necessary to use the word retarded as a descriptor. Surely Hollywood has people who are intelligent enough to find an adjective that is not demeaning to an important part of our population. I really feel that this is a form of bullying.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051482989794391914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232723714527688963.post-23061258960931454182012-09-04T11:12:36.515-07:002012-09-04T11:12:36.515-07:00Thanks for sharing your blog with me, Lisa!

If they are non-verbal it may, like you said, be difficult to use podcasts. Perhaps you could pair up with an appropriate grade level and work with those teachers. Maybe they could create the podcasts that you could use in your classroom. They would benefit from producing the podcast and your students would benefit from seeing them.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11347767419439202557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4232723714527688963.post-74827567219921240972009-08-07T12:11:53.149-07:002009-08-07T12:11:53.149-07:00I think your students would benefit and enjoy maki...I think your students would benefit and enjoy making their life skills videos.Faithnoreply@blogger.com
