Our school is a Title One School in an urban area. My students range in grades 5th-8th grade. They are all students with special needs ranging from Autism to Intellectually Disabled. I have the same students all day, teaching them every subject. While my students are behind in all subjects (Reading, Writing, and Math) my major concern is helping them with reading. They all try very hard but it takes them a lot longer to obtain new knowledge and be able to apply it. This leads to a much slower pass. My students deserve all the opportunities to learn that the other students in the school get. Because of their disabilities it is hard to see great growth.
