Exceptionalities in the Classroom

Students with exceptionalities fall into six different categories. There are intellectual students who are above average as well as those below. Communicative which are students who have speech or language impairments. Sensory which are students who have auditory or visual impairments. Behavioral which are students who are emotionally disturbed. Physical which are students with mobility issues and Multiple which are students who have a combination of conditions. In an average size classroom of twenty-five students, 2 to 3 students exhibit one or more exceptionalities. No matter the exceptionality every child should be included in the classroom and have an equal opportunity to learn and have an elite education. I have a cousin who has mobility issues and is considered an exceptional student, and i would want her to have a chance to experience education inside of a classroom and learn as much as possible. Being that I am a Early Childhood and Special Education major, i will have the opportunity to work with students that have different kind of exceptionalities.
