Ronette Parker of Mindful ABA: “5 Things I Wish Someone Told Me When I First Started”
“You’re not alone. Being in Special Education I felt sort of like the cops; people only wanted to see you if there was a problem. Typically General Education teachers wanted the Special Educator to swoop in and save the day when an extreme behavior happened with a student. However, it could be challenging to have one of your Special Needs students accepted in the mainstream classrooms. Making connections with General Education will help you work more as a team. Special Education can be very isolating so make sure you reach out if you need help!”
