Some disabilities are neurological based and classification of physical or psychiatric become difficult.  Inappropriate classification may impact a students learning experience with regards to subject matter deliveries.

I have learned that coping mechanisms and/or medication do not cure a student's disability; the issues that come with the disabilities are just made more manageable. This is important, especially where medication is involved, because many people believe that if a student is "on his/her meds" that they are "fine" and that the hardship for them is eliminated.

From this class, I have learned that medication does not cure the problem withstudents with ADD and ADHD but it can help them cope. y

So far from this course, I have learned that students with physical and mental disabilities are often are medicated which is not a cure. Medications are generally a way for the student to manage his or her disability..

From this class, I learned that people who struggle with learning disabilities are generally average or smarter, but just have difficulties processing or focusing.  In my class, I will try to find other avenues to help captivate my students' attention.
