Dear next president;
After the enactment of the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, aimed at educating children with disabilities alongside those who did not have any disabilities, there was a significant change in the US education (Glickman, 2007). Alongside the approach, a similar initiative could be integrated into the scheme of special education in K-12. It is my sincere plea to you Nr. President that you should not forget about our mentally challenged children. These kids have different requirements and therefore, it is integral to consider numerous aspects before placing a disabled student in the classroom. Due to the prevalence of many types of growth disabilities among young children, these kids first receive their initial referral for special education by their parents and teachers. Some of these growth delays are; communicative, social, physical and cognitive. In the prevalence of any of the delays, then it becomes evident that the kid is in need of special needs education. However, the level of assimilation of these children to the K-12 special needs education in this country is still wanting. The students should be presented with learning aid in the event where the subjects are disabled. The tutors, on the other hand, should be equipped with relevant skills and knowledge to facilitate the efficient imparting of the K-12 education. The schools should ensure transparency and a balanced education scheme not forgetting to encourage diversity in the institutions, as a way of promoting collaboration and embracing diversity. In the ancient period, there were only a few classes with disabled individuals and what is more intriguing is that a significant proportion of these disabled kids failed to attend their classes. As such, they had to be placed in special schools or classes. However, this is not the case today as the form of learning has progressively been replaced by an inclusive program. Mr. President, I would like to request that the K-12 special education initiative follows the same approach. With clear goals and specifications on what is expected of the move as presented in this letter, it is much easier to realize the initiative. Therefore, I take this opportunity to present to you some of the various advancements that you should consider enforcing to improve special education in K-12.
It is my urge that energies should be focused on the provision of resources...
