Culminating Projects in Special Education

Educators are often unaware of how adverse childhood experiences can lead to behaviors in the classroom. These children are often referred to special education for evaluation and found to meet criteria for a disability category. Special education teachers are providing services to more internationally adopted children. Given the increase in this population, educators must be thoughtful of the pre-adoptive history of the child and how it affects student performance and achievement.
