Human needs. Not special. Human needs. If someone needs assistance to use the washroom, that’s a human need. If someone needs to use technology to access learning, thats a human need. There is nothing “special” about “special education”, it’s simply education.
“Special needs” is a term created by nondisabled people to other the needs of disabled people. Disabled people have human needs.

After we learn a new sound it becomes the “secret password” for entering the classroom, allowing for several extra daily repetitions. The kids ❤️ it - and don’t worry about the ones who forget; if they don’t copy the child in front of them I supply the sound for them to repeat.

Tomorrow, let’s focus on teaching our kids to be kind-to accept mask choices like we accept other differences. Let’s continue to ensure we have safe, compassionate and accepting classrooms. We’ve already talked to our kids about this and I’m sure their teachers will reiterate.

NEW: The Children’s Health Coalition is encouraging “everyone to continue masking in schools” and say they would have “preferred to see masks kept in place for two weeks after March break.” #onpoli
