Before reading, here are my thoughts: What do I already know about the exception and special education in a few words (can you list terms or share some experiences you have had)? - People who do things/tasks differently than the average person. I went on a mission trip to China and visited/helped people with brittle bone disease. They were neither sad, nor alone, nor felt disabled. It was part of their way of life and they knew no difference. Although we had sympathy for them, they were very satisfied and happy. What questions do I have?

Special education is not only for people with disabilities, but also for those who struggle in an average learning environment. Additionally, some parents or guardians are unwilling to seek help or do not want to consider special education for their child because they think their child is “perfect,” “normal,” or fine.
