Listening to Parents of Children with Special Needs

Educational Leadership (February 2007; www.ascd.org) asked parents of children with special needs what they would tell teachers about what helps, or hinders, their child's learning. Here is what one parent had to say:

"Listen to me when I tell you that my child with dysgraphia is not able to copy all information correctly from the board and needs someone to take the time to write the assignment for him.

"Listen to me when I ask you to give him note-taking assistance because his writing is illegible.

"Listen to me when I ask you to let him use a tape recorder.

"Listen to me when I tell you he is intelligent and if you differentiate his assignments, he can learn just as well as any other student."
