Including Samuel Response

As I watched this, I thought of Noah, a CP student I worked with
15 years ago when I was a day care teacher. I quickly noticed the differences and the improvements in the mobility devices such as the wheel chair, bike and the standing apparatus. The improved technology was incredible to note. I wondered how parents cope and deal with a child like Samuel, and I think I learned how special families are that have children with special needs. These children can only grow and flourish with teachers and parents who do everything they can for the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of a child. The assistive devices that Samuel used like the adapted crayons, communication device at school, the special wheel chairs, the tread mill to assist with strengthing his muscles, and the special bicycle so he can do everything other children can in his neighbourhood. Just imagine what would happen to a child like Samuel if he had to be segregated in a school for special needs children. I remember growing up and a child went off to the deaf school in Amherst and she was no different than us except for the fact she couldn't hear, and now we all know deaf students or have had the pleasure of having them included in our classes.
