| Subjective response to Sen J. Biden and Special Needs Kids
September 10, 2008
Senator Biden was quoted yesterday in a CNN news article <http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/09/09/biden.special.needs/index.html>
and addressed the issue of "special needs kids" as children with a "birth defect", a completely misinformed statement of truth. In fact, special needs children come from a variety of backgrounds and are not necessarily physically or emotionally or mentally handicapped, but develop at a differing rate when compared to other children their age.
I am surprised at his candor, and am considering looking more deeply into his educational platform when it comes to accommodating the needs of children from a special needs background. His statement remains, to me, incomplete, and perhaps a further address of what his true points of view are, or could be, about special needs children and educational directions could be elaborated upon. |
