Assume that you are a teacher in a public elementary school. You have a child with special needs in your class. Identify the opportunities and environment that you would provide for this child to succeed, including those which are mandated by the governme

What will be an ideal response?

Most children with special needs can be mainstreamed or included in regular
classrooms as long as they are provided some special resources. The federal
government requires, in fact, that special needs children be placed in the least
restrictive environment, i.e., that they are "mainstreamed" to the greatest extent
possible. Teachers or teaching assistants are required to formulate an individual
education plan (IEP), outlining the goals, activities, and expected outcomes for the
child. These activities are often provided through special resources such as a
resource room especially equipped to assist the child.
