<p>It was surprising to learn that approximately 20% of people have some type of learning disability. That is 1 in 5 which means that in my family of 5 one of us has some type of learning disability! The biggest takeaway for me is the advocacy part. I didn't realize that post secondary education is considered optional therefore any accommodation or modification plans are not required. Preparing my students to be able to advocate for themselves will be something that I will have to make sure that I teach my students how to do so that they know the proper way to make sure that they have the support that they need when they arrive to college.</p>
