[quote=Anonymous] sometimes having Special Needs means that person just cannot do the job. We've gotten so far away from that concept, we as a country believe that anyone with any Special Need can do anything if they're just accommodated correctly. Sometimes that's true, and it's amazing to see. I've personally helped blind people ski. SKI. However sometimes it's not true. Sometimes, a person with classic autism is not going to be able to do the job at hand -- mastering the Common Core, say, because he cannot read The Illiad. No matter what. For him, maybe he gets his own study plan, whatever that is. Then the other 98.873 percent of the kids in his school without classic autism will read The Illiad without dilution, without drama. Without modifying the curriculum for their one classmate.[/quote]
