I also have to admit that with everyone else that this week was very overwhelming for me, and it was hard to really be able to focus hard core on anything other than studying for the two tests that we had this week. Luckily both my tests have been completed by today and my mind is a little clearer and less overwhelmed. This week we did go into detail on the disabilities and the genetics and development behind it and I find all that information very interesting. I remember thinking that knowing the medical history behind the students really helps you connect to the student and better understand where they’re at emotional and physically.

The test also gave me a new perspective on what we’re learning. I remember taking classes in high school where I knew I wouldn’t use the information anymore and I really thought that the class was pointless and fast-forwarding to now all my classes pertain to my future, I need to make sure to know the information, and be able to recall or at least have on-hand information that I learned in the class and this test really brought me back to how important it is to remember everything. Especially with all of these procedures that will not only help us keep a job but also affect the learning ability of the student for the rest of their lives. We are going to make a huge difference and we cannot take it lightly. We need all the help, understanding, and study that we can get.
