Informative Speech On Special Education

This 1965 research showed that students with intellectual disabilities who were educated in a general education setting, “achieved more academically than those in special classes,” (Goldstein, Moss & Jordan).

Also, other students would not have opportunity to have a friendships different from those that they already have. Special needs students should be working towards the same academic standards as social goals students of their same age yet with instructional supports and accommodations and modifications as needed (p. 1 IRIS). Excluding them from the general education classrooms could also make it so the students is less likely to perform well on assessments because they have had significantly less exposure to its

Front of the Class Hi today I will be talking about people with disabilities. What are disabilities? Well disabilities are a lack of an adequate power, strength, physical or mental ability incapacity. I will talk too about the Tourette Syndrome.

Purpose: The purpose of this speech is to persuade a parent whose child has received a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder to provide their child with critical early life intervention therapy as well as educate the parent on ABA therapy in addition to touching on a handful of other possible therapies. After delivering this speech, I want my audience to understand why early intervention will provide their child with the best chance of matriculation into society later in life. I want to prompt every audience member to research further therapies available as treatment for their child’s disorder and ultimately decide to enroll their child in a therapy. Intended Audience: My perfect audience would be parents and family members in relation to a young child, between the ages of eighteen months and three years old, that has recently been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Organizational Pattern: Topical Introduction Attention Getter: According to brainyquote.com, Magic Johnson once said, “All kids need is a little help, a little hope, and somebody who believes in them”.

Special Education is an umbrella title for an educational department that focuses on the rehabilitation of students and providing services for students who require extra academic support to be successful in the current school setting but are also in need of learning life skills that will help them to be successful later. The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines special education as “classes or instruction designed for students with special educational needs” (Merriam-webster.com, 2017). To assist students with disabilities, the United States government continues to use the current reauthorization of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) of 2004 which is currently known as the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of December 2015

Thesis statement “Inclusion Helps Special Needs Students by Allowing Them to Develop Interactional Skills Because of the Exposure to a Social Environment.” Inclusion in education is an approach to educate students with special needs in regular classrooms, rejecting the need of special schools. The aim of this paper will be to demonstrate that inclusion of special needs students in regular classrooms helps them not only by developing interactional skills but also by allowing them to grow in a more desirable way in school. However, inclusion is not completely beneficial. One must consider that special needs is an umbrella of several necessities that demand different approaches.

Special education is a discipline marked by a lot of controversy and which elicits a heated debate among education administrators, parents, and teachers. Full inclusion, which is the belief that disabled students should be incorporated into regular classrooms, regardless of whether they meet conventional curricular standards or not, is the major point of controversy. Full inclusion embraces the idea that disabled students should undertake regular education and only be excluded in a class when important services cannot be offered to them (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010). This paper seeks to delve into the arguments surrounding full inclusion and establish their validity. It will achieve this by highlighting the arguments for and against

Now, I realize that a student needing special education does not automatically mean that they will need help with everything and have an extremely difficult time learning. Most of the students I observed did not seem any different than the students not in special education. They just needed extra help in certain subjects. They picked up on the material much more quickly than I had thought they would and were able to do more on their own than I had originally thought. Before this class and project, I also did not think about the fact that students with special needs often stay in the general education classroom as well as working in the special education

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.

Are you afraid of sharing your thoughts? Do you believe that they can tell about your actions? Would you like to have someone you could talk to with no shame of being judged? Well, there is a profession were people listen to others and at the same time, thousands of thoughts are being connected in their minds with a purpose of understanding and helping you. This profession is called psychology, the profession I chose to practice when I grow up and by the end of this speech I will prove to you that psychology is great, that my characteristics match the profession and that I have a plan to follow to get there.

Quote of Interest: "First, each person is unique. In defining goals, it is crucial for educators to affirm the special characteristics of each student. " (Boyer, 1995, p. 1) Reaction: I chose this quote because I plan on being a special education teacher and I have strong feelings about making sure everyone is fair to everyone. We are all different and everyone should get their own accomidations depending on whether they need help or not.

You may experience an overwhelming fear that posesses you when you think of speaking in public, but alas, not all things can be avoiding during the course of your lifetime. You must resign yourself to the fact that you must talk in front of people, and potentially embarrass yourself, at some point in your life. While the risk is there, somewhere inside of you is the aspiration to wow a crowd with an eloquent speech and be known as silver-tongued. Quite often, the outcome of your speech does not rest upon whether you wish to do a fantastic job or not, but on how well you have prepared and practiced each element of your speech.

INTRODUCTION A. ATTENTION GETTER- ((Throws money all at one and looks down and back at the audience)) I bet this is how we all wish to be someday, rich and successful. But that isn’t the case for most people; in fact National Center for Children in Poverty has found that 44% of children live in low-income households. I am a part of that percent of children that live in a low-income household, which isn’t an easy situation to live in.
