Hello everyone, I need to get some input from parents with an exceptional child for my class in special education. Thank you for your time!

Describe the demographic (single parent, age, male/female, number of children, ethnicity, language, working parent)?


2. How do you react to having a child with a disability? What are the effects of a child with a disability on the family?


3. How would you describe your child? What is his or her condition?


4. List 3 challenges that you face as a parent of an Exceptional child. And list 3 rewards.


5. What can special educators do to address concerns of students with disability?


6. If there were 3 things that you would wish to see in your child’s teacher what would they be?


7. Any other things you would like to share?

Hello. Do you mind if we ask what university you're attending? Are you an undergrad elementary education major, or are you a special ed major, or ?? In any case, there have been other "future teachers" who have asked similar questions, and I've summarized my son's situation before; you can find it at millermom.proboards.com/thread/13329/future-teacher-parent-interview and other responses at millermom.proboards.com/thread/13663/early-childhood-special-educator
