[quote=Anonymous]I think the bottom line is that kids can have behavioral problems without being special needs. Kids can be special needs without having behavioral problems. It's astounding, OP, that you had to "announce" to your kids that you have special needs (being deaf) and that otherwise they saw special needs as synonymous with disruptive or emotionally disturbed. This is something you might take up with your kids' teachers. Perhaps the school needs to do a unit on 'What does it mean to be special needs?" focusing on the notion that special needs does not mean behavior or disruption. Special needs can mean orthopedic handicaps; it can mean reading issues; it can mean mobility issues. [/quote]
