Whether special needs children are facing psychological, physical, or a combination of both problems in the disorder they have been diagnosed with, they are each unique. All children are special individuals and have the desire to be accepted, and just because some children have more difficult problems to face does not take away from their desire to be accepted as well. It is important that we treat them with the love and kindness we expect to be treated with. We should also never give up hope for them, as we wouldn't want anyone to give up hope for us.
Excellent point Tara! Teachers are in a unique position to give a child a vote of confidence that carries a significant amount of weight. This is a huge responsibility that should not be taken lightly. SS
