7a Trisha Amato response to Anthony Candel

Anthony,

               I found your paper very informative and interesting, especially the beginning where it states how McCollogh v. Maryland was interpreted to include children with disabilities. In the 1800’s many of these children were being placed in asylums or hospitals and hidden from the world. I did not really think there was a movement until around the 1950’s or 60’s when the civil rights movements were then used to gain footing for these children.

               As I did my research on early intervention, many stated that it was important for the children to be included in regular classrooms and children.  Being around the neurotypical child will assist with behavior modification and learning by observation. It will also assist all of the neurotypical children to be more accepting of the differences in each other as you stated in your research paper.

               Your questions were very thought provoking. I only wish that they were not as clearly labeled in the paper. I would have liked to have seen if I could answer them by reading the paper.

               I enjoyed your paper. It was easy to read and had information that I would not have considered. Thank you for sharing.
