Working with special needs children can be

challenging. It requires compassion. It requires

teachers to find and utilize all resources

possible in order to meet their students’ needs.

During this presentation, I will share resources

with you that have been shared with me, and

others that I have found. I believe it is

important that we all find ways to assist our

special needs students.

disabilities. Without some of these, teaching special needs children would be

an even greater challenge.
