Breakout Discussion
1. In what way have you or someone in your family been affected by a disability? In
what way was that disability accommodated? In what ways do you perceive a lack of
support for that disability? Who should be responsible to provide support and why?
2. Why is the mindset of teachers so important to breaking down barriers for
learning for a student with an exceptionality?
