[quote=Anonymous]Here is my take, it has become such an all encompassing term to include so many different types of needs that it isnt accurate anymore. Some kids need additional behavioral support, some need specific instructional modalities and some need support across the entire school day/ curriculum. So it is a generalization of a large group of children with varying needs. That is why I feel it is inappropriate. Another way to look at it, many describe advanced learners as needing special education, if your child was described as sped bc of needing special education for those reasons would you feel like it is an appropriate term?[/quote]
