I work with a beautiful group of high needs, special education students. The facility is a High School/ Occupational Training Center in New York City. These young adults are in either the 8th or 9th grade (14-15 years old). Their disabilities include Intellectually Challenged, Autism and Multiple Disabilities. They face more challenges in one day than most people face in a lifetime, yet their optimism and perseverance never fail to amaze me and make me smile. Each one is so different in their abilities and personalities. Although they are limited, each is so bright in their own way. When they are successful in the classroom, they beam with pride. As their teacher, this keeps me always wanting to do more, engaging them with any prop or tactic to push them to think further.
