One of my students was a little girl confined to a wheelchair. The ONLY thing she could do was say "Aaaaaa" and "Eeeeee" in a loud voice - constantly. She had a full-time aide who showed her pictures in a picture book which she never looked at - she was always looking at me in the front of the classroom. As far as education nothing was or could be absorbed. Really sad.

Like Cannongal said during Special Olympics, her aide would just wheel her around and do whatever the little girl was supposed to be doing.

I think the whole idea of mainstreaming some special needs students has gone wrong. I don't exactly know how it should be structured but I think there's a better way financially and for the benefit of all the kids to handle it.
