Below are two handouts and a paper I wrote about intellectual disabilities. The first handout is about a helpful website with information about creating accessible content, resources explaining neurodiversity, and information on appropriate language to use when addressing people who are disabled. The paper is about intellectual disabilities, and their history and diagnoses, and how to support children with intellectual diabilities in the classroom. The third document is another handout about intellectual disabilities which summarizes the research in my paper. 

These materials connect to 5C) knows how to implement effective differentiated instruction through the use of a wide variety of materials, technologies, and resources. In the paper I learned about a variety of ways to differentiate instruction, and through the website in the first handout, I learned more about how to speak to and about those with disabilities that affirms their worth and shows them respect.

Throughout these projects, I learned how I as a teacher can support students with intellectual disabilities. Even if you don't have students with diagnosed intellectual disabilities, there are changes that I can make in my classroom to support neurodivergent students and also neurotypical students as well.
