Questions to help you create posts under your assigned disability category

Working with your partner, you will create a post under your assigned disability category that addresses the following questions:
1) How is your disability defined by the federal and state laws?
2) What are the developmental characteristics of persons with this disability? (This would include cognitive, social, emotional, physical, as well as levels of functioning.)
3) If you were a teacher in a general education classroom, what information and strategies would help you best support a child with this disability? This would include academic support as well as social support.
4) What resources would help you as a teacher to serve this child? (This would include websites, agencies, people within the school; a two to three line description is required for each resource.)

If you have a disability category that is large, such as social and emotional disorders, the larger category has been broken down into two subparts (internalizing and externalizing disorders). You should provide summary information about the broad disability as a whole (social and emotional disorders), but provide specific information about your subpart for the four focus questions listed above.
