Exceptional Students

You can expect to find a wide range of individual differences in your classroom including physical, cognitive, and behavioral. Students may be gifted and/or talented and may have sensory impairments, communication disorders, medical, physical, and multiple disabilities, behavior disorders, learning and cognitive disabilities. Teachers need considerable sensitivity in working with these students to help them achieve as fully as possible. Assessment plays a critical role in determining placements for exceptional students, and teachers are often involved in exceptionality identification, evaluation, and student placement. Several support systems, ranging from a student's family to professional staff, operate to help adapt classrooms and instruction to the needs of exceptional students.
