My students are each amazing individuals with unique personalities just like kids in general education. They are all severely intellectually disabled with additional physical handicaps. They are all non-verbal and in wheelchairs. They each have other physical and health impairments, too. They take pride in learning new skills and love making and having friends. They are truly the "rock stars" of our school. We encourage the general population to visit our room to socialize and work with our special population. I have a waiting list of kids who want to be morning and afternoon peer helpers. General education students who aren't on the helper schedule still find a way to visit my students in the halls, at recess, in PE or music and at lunch. My students are nonverbal and in wheelchairs yet they find ways to communicate with their friends. They smile, they reach for their friends' hands, they play simple games, they listen to stories, and they watch their friends perform silly acts for them.
