Great information and insights! What are the appropriate solutions to these scenarios? Some seem obvious but others aren't. General ed teachers are not adequately trained during their own schooling HOW to accommodate. They are often perplexed, apprehensive, and anxious about various disabilities and socio-economic situations. It is never enough to point out what a problem is without also offering ways to fix it or accommodate it. I wonder what responses you would get if teachers or parents were asked a similar question? The different perspectives could reveal where change needs to happen.
