Abstract:
This chapter focused on the use of the Multiple Intelligences to aid special education students who have been integrated into the classroom to perform well. The chapter notes that learning disabilities can take place in all eight of the intelligences. It notes that several significant figures in history have led successful lives intellectually despite their disabilities. The chapter suggests working towards the strengths of students with learning disabilities instead of focusing on what they are not able to do, and teaching a unit through all eight intelligences will help them to be successful.
Reflection:
One of our biggest concerns about going into the field is working with students who have learning disabilities. Christine has never had a student with a learning disability in a classroom where she has been a student, and has never taken a course focused on special education. We hope to learn more in Special Education classes so that we can not only understand our students' disabilities, but we can also effectively teach them according to their intelligences.
