Field Experience B: Student Differences and Individual Learning Needs Once again, I had the opportunity to interview a coworker who had worked with disabled children in the past and still carries the knowledge with the children she works with today. She is exceptional when working with all types of children, but I have personally seen wonders while working with some of the autistic children we care for daily. While I was in the company of her class a few months back, we had talked about how I was going to school to work with children with disabilities and that I have always had passion in this field, and she shared too, that that was her passion. She has currently had three children that have been diagnosed on the autistic spectrum and works from her heart with them. She works day in and day out to help teach these children the needs they need, whether “signing” for what they need or simply discovering the world around them. This teacher has provided me with an abundance of tips, tools, and tricks I will take with me in my endeavors as a special education teacher. During our chat, we both came to an exclamation of the importance that comes with children with and without disabilities that they are capable of learning and can be what and whomever they wish to be. She stated the unique needs of children with disabilities: they require a higher level of support to access their learning experiences in and out of the classroom
