The
website that I choose is beneficial to me in so many ways, in regards to
working with children who have disabilities. Over the years I have worked with
children with special needs to the best of my ability, of course I know there
is no manual for working with children period. However it is always good to be
able to refer to a source to help you do your job a little bit better. There is
so much valuable information on this site to help educators teach children with
disabilities. I really like how they offer information for different date and
times that trainings are being given for professional development. For instance
the Division for Early Childhood's Annual International Conference on
Young Children with Special Needs and Their Families is the flagship of our
professional development opportunities. The 2016 conference will be held
October 18-20. During this time, the Division for Early Childhood brings
together a passionate group of dedicated individuals who work with or on behalf
of young children (0-8) with disabilities and other special needs and their
families. Leading experts will gather from all over the world to unite with
other participants and attendees who are intimately invested in early
intervention and early childhood special education (http://www.dec-sped.org/#!blank/ltoso).
If I were to take this training I could
learn so much from the presenters and also my fellow colleagues. I love
collaborating with other teachers on topics that I need help in.
Everything
on this website is pretty much neutral in the information that it provides. All
the information on this site is so empowering and also parent friendly which is
what I like the most. If anything the information on this site makes me think
outside the box and more complex about working with and empowering children
with special needs. This website has
many links to the different laws that are in place regarding education and
children with special needs. It also has various journals that give information
on the development of children and studies that state facts on different topics
dealing with children that have special needs. For instance in the journal Resources for supporting young children who
have been prenatally exposed
to
drugs, and their families it states that In 2011, an estimated 22.5 million
Americans aged 12 or older were current illicit drug users, meaning they had
used an illicit drug during the month prior to the survey interview. This
estimate represents 8.7 percent of the population aged 12 or older.1 Illicit
drugs include marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), heroin,
hallucinogens, inhalants, or prescription-type psychotherapeutics used
non-medically, all of which can, when taken prenatally, have significant implications
for a developing fetus (Catlett-Dinehart ND). Information like this shows us
that the field of education is contributed to by many professionals. Overall the
thing about this site that I like the most is that you can research different
topics and get feedback from professionals who have years of experience in the field.
