Many students have learning disabilities that can affect them in many ways weather being writing focusing on a task at hand, standing up to people, talking backwards, having to make things perfect and many more. But there can be a disadvantage to all that. Having certain learning disabilities can be treated unfairly in certain schools like being separated from kids that might help them, or being treated like little children. When in reality being with “normal” kids might help them more.sometimes their needs are met and sometimes they are not. Which that is what this report is all about.
Understanding the history of special education and its impact on individual lives provides educators and families with a positive perspective on student’s academic and social achievement. Special education services were almost non-existent and with the passage of Public Law 94-142 everything changed. As the law continues to evolve, the rules and regulations become more prevalent. Handicapped and disabled students educational careers can now include reading, language arts, math, live skills training, vocational readiness, and various work training programs. Society has significantly become more understanding and aware of people with disabilities since the establishment of Public Law 94-142.
The researcher used a document created by Marcia Kalb Knoll, Ed. D., used in her book Administrative Guide to Student Achievement and Higher Test Scores.

Two classrooms were observed during the process, Ms. Seasoned taught fourth grade English Language Arts, while Ms. First Year taught third grade English Language Arts.
I joined this program as a mentor for two students, one who has intellectual disabilities and the other who has intellectual and developmental disabilities. I help my mentees to be a part of Union’s community academically, socially, and residentially. The ultimate goal of the EDGE program is to prepare individuals to work in a job setting by strengthening academic, social, communication, technological, and vocational skills. This program also helps to expose student without disabilities to student with disabilities, lessening the gap between the two. This helps combat injustice in schooling and also gives people a chance to overcome stereotypes.

Each student has different disabilities which make them unique, and I am learning new techniques to adapt lesson plans to fit each student. This entails creating new activities that include maximum participation and minimal exclusion, as well as modifying traditional gym activities such as dodgeball to accommodate the needs of these students. This unique experience of teaching students with special needs will help me identify and assist students with similar needs as a teacher in the future. This experience also taught me that as an effective teacher, I need to be able to teach new material to students with different learning abilities.
There is one thing that affects every person in the world. That thing is motivation. Motivation is the direction and intensity of one’s efforts (Weinberg & Gould, 2015).

The failure to implement full inclusion appropriately has numerous detrimental effects on the parties involved. One disadvantage for full inclusion is that the socialization part precedes the academic component, notwithstanding the fact that it should not be the primary goal of education. Inclusion movements aim to make disabled students look normal, overlooking the issue of whether they are undertaking educational programs or not. This can have a negative effect on the academic progress of students with disabilities because important skills are not taught for the sake of the learner making physical presence in a full inclusion classroom. Fox (2013) claims that there is a need for disabled students to reap maximum benefits from this integration.
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
