It's been good to go over the different high-incident disabilities this week through the student presentations.  I have found through conversation with family members that all of us have misconceptions about different disabilities.  Going over them in class is helpful to getting rid of any misconceptions that we might still have.  I liked what Nicole Call said about her brother in the ADHD presentation, that he never felt like it was a learning disability because he didn't have any problems with learning.  It made me realized that we can take that same approach to help our students by realizing it is a physical hurdle to overcome, but it doesn't accurately describe the person when we focus only on the disability.  I know that I struggle with my own school work each day, but I can't imagine what it would be like to add a disability  to my difficulties.

I unfortunately, was one of the only ones that didn't get to present my information to the class yet, so I feel that my reflection isn't applicable at this point.  I was a bit frustrated with my group that I was working with because I was unfamiliar with any of them and found that our personalities and approaches to projects like this were quite different.  I wasn't sure even after assignments were made, that the group would actually cover everything that was required.  Even with assignments, it seemed like everyone was doing their own thing rather than what they committed to doing, which was leaving gaps in what was to be covered.  In the end, things came together, but it was literally the minute class started that I knew what part each person was going to do.  For this reason, I would only give our group a 9.  I will have to share the rest of my reflections after I teach next week.
