For an example of educating children with disabilities, there is a student in the class of my service learning placement who has disabilities. He will participate with the class and learn with the class for about half of the day. Part way through the day he will go to resource. He has learning disabilities but has the individual plan to help him best learn. Resource helps him to learn on his own and he gets one on one help from those teachers. But also being with his peers helps him to learn social skills, and make friends. IDEA has made it possible for him to get individual help but also to learn and interact with his peers.
I also saw the rehabilitation act of 1973 in my service learning placement. There is a student who has diabetes. The school and teacher accommodate to him with his disability. The teacher keeps treats and different things for him in the class room. He is allowed to go and get it whenever he needs it. He also has special permission and accommodations he is allowed to get up out of his seat whenever he needs to, to go to the hall and check everything he needs to. All of the other students have to ask for permission to get up and go and do different things, or even to go out in the hall. He has the accommodations he can just go as he pleases. Because of the rehabilitation act of 1973 he can go and do what he needs to do.
