Remixing SPED

While looking for a remix piece in my field of Special Education I came across a brochure that outlines a Special Education program and all that it offers a special needs student and what it does to make them feel just like any other student or person in our society. Looking through this brochure I noticed that there are the connecting ideas of showing families of those with special needs how they can accommodate to their loved one's needs and how they can assist them. In this brochure, ideas are organized very well in terms of presenting the background of the program first, then showing how it will improve each student's life, and finally, how family hand friends can and will be involved in the program. The points and details this brochure present are those of aspects to the program, for example, providing students with the opportunity to gain knowledge and experience in the workforce. Along with this idea is also what types of cases this program caters to such as deaf/hard of hearing and autistic cases. Finally, the idea of parent involvement is highlighted as well. The delivery of these ideas are very welcoming and geared toward comforting the family and showing outsiders that these special needs students have the capability to be fully capable citizens just like anyone else. In conclusion, the voice of this piece of writing is very honest and open. A voice that tells the truth about these students, but also highlights their strengths and all that can be accomplished. It's a voice of knowledge because it also carries along with it, specific vocabulary needed in this field of Special Education.
