Questions & Answers
Question : What is the drop out rate for kids with Learning disabilities?
One person answered me in another posting just because they are promoted does not mean they passed. Why promote them? It is time to stop making excuses for kids with LD and try to find a way to teach the same high standards to them but present the high standards in a different way. I am not talking about mentally retarded or slow learners,but kids with moderated learning disabilities. In my time I gave up on school because school gave up on me.There was no help in my time. I fell through the cracks and society still holds me accountable for something I had no control over. Do you all think I am uneducable and beyond help. Why is it my fault? I use to be told it was my fault for not trying harder?

Answer:
The drop out rate for high school kids is at about 30%. That number includes those with learning disabilities. This is an appalling figure, and I'm sure the reasons are as varied as the kids. Some regions in the US have higher rates than others, but it averages out to about 30%. I'm sure lots of these kids would say something similar to what you stated - fell through the cracks. I know my son would agree. I certainly wouldn't say you are uneducable. Your spelling is impeccable, or you at least know how to use spell check, and that's a lot more than some of the questions and answers I've seen in YA. My older son finally went to adult school to work on his diploma, and he had a lot more success there than he had in high school. I'd like to encourage you to complete your diploma. It will give you a really good feeling of accomplishment just proving to yourself that you can do it. And, it will be one less strike against you.

 

Question : What are the main differences between teaching an able-bodied class and a group of people with disabilities?
I am preparing possible answers for an interview this week for a job teaching IT to people with physical disabilities. While I have my own ideas I'd appreciate input from anyone kind enough to answer. Thanks.

Answer:
If you're only talking about physical disabilities, not developmental, I wouldn't think there would be too much of a difference. You just have to be aware of your students' limitations and what sort of adaptations you need to make so assignments are fair to all students. It sounds like you will more be teaching software programs for people with disabilities, in which case, you should just familiarize yourself with those programs. Not sure which age you're talking about, so I can't help much more.

 

Question : Does anyone know of a cruise line that caters to people with disabilities?
I work with children with disabilities and I am thinking of taking a break. I would love to find a job on a cruise working with special needs people.

Answer:
All cruise lines are able to handle people with disabilities. However not in the way you would at a center. I have seen people in wheelchairs, walkers, mentally handicapped and even a blind man but, all of these people were able to move around the ship & shore with very little aid. The only thing I would suggest is to call the cruise lines that have different childrens programs and you may find something that way. Good Luck & Thank You for giving to those who need you.
