As a regular ed teacher I realize why it was necessary that I was there but the experts were the OTs PTs SDPEs SLs etc. Listen to them is my advice. I sometimes felt that the other 24 students in my class were in "jeopardy" but never was comfortable voicing that in such a meeting. Inclusion is important for special needs children but I didn't always feel that it was quite fair to the typically developing students. But as they say, Life is not always fair. As time passed in my teaching career it seemed like there were more and more types of special needs students in the general population but it also seemed like there was more help to teach them.
