Most of the teachers are afraid to work with children with the disabled because of challenges they brought in the class. Working with disabled children is a challenge indeed but the teacher can overcome the challenge by changing his teaching style in order to include other children.
A teacher can use a lot of media to learners who are intellectually impared, give them more time on an assessment and give them assessment that fit their mentality.
While the teacher is assessing wether children understand the teaching content he/she can make use of oral test on learners with hands disability. The teacher has to modify his/her teaching content to cater for every learner,so that other learners will not feel descrimated.
Gifted learners also need their special needs in the class. Most of those learners feel bored if the teacher keeps on reapeating the same thing while trying to cater for slow learners. The teacher need to give them some challenging tasks to stimulate their learning.
