- Special needs students are often treated differently from able students, but treated the same as one another. This presentation discusses the importance of remembering the differences between student's varied learning strengths.
Gabi Telemaco is a Junior at Skyline High School. She is highly committed to the Ann Arbor YMCA community, by attending Camp Al-Gon-Quian for 6 summers, working there for 2. Gabi is interested in Clinical Research and the genetic and environmental variations in brain chemistry which develop in those with Special Needs. She is pursuing these career plans by being apart of the Health and Medicine Magnet at Skyline, as well as attending a conference of Future Medical Leaders at Boston College in the summer.

We are not all the same. And special education work needs to include staff who are actually disabled themselves
I am diagnosed with ADHD and was placed in special education classes in elementary school. I am now in college studying to a special education teacher at the elementary level because I know what it's like. I fully agree with you.

I really admire you for speaking up for others--both students and teachers! Thank you for being who you are to your peers, Gabi :) Your ideas are so spot on!
Learning DifferentLY
Thank you for this video special education. I'm so proud of you...
When I was a kid I went to an isolated school and my siblings went to a whole different school . That was when I knew I was different from everybody
finally I see someone talking about this
"if only there was a way to learn more information about this"
*camra shifts to ted talk*
She is a very passionate young lady. I admire this about her. I do have some comments to add to the video, however. In one part of the video she mentions that teachers would be able to be more successful when teaching students with similar learning styles at once, rather than students with different abilities all at the same time. I am wondering if this is only in reference to the learning habits that are typically associated with various learning disabilities or if this applies to all students and their learning preferences. If so, how does this compare to the research that has been conducted about the myth of learning styles not being styles at all, but rather learned habits and preferences. By segregating students into classrooms based on their learning styles and abilities, it is creating a sense of limitation for students. For instance, students with ADHD are now limited to only being able to learn in and ADHD environment, rather than any environment. This could be detrimental to students, when they step outside of their classrooms and into a world that is not segregated by learning styles. What happens when these students are asked to work in an environment they are not used to due to simple lack of exposure. I see the points she is trying to make as far as her personal experience, but is segregation in schools to any extent more of a service or disservice to students?
Yes you nailed it! Very good🙌👏👏👏👏
Awesome speech you did amazing
Great TED Talk!
Volume is too low
Welcome to Tedx where Ted makes it difficult for speakers to present their message
Thank you
Why is the audio so bad.??
ese classes needs to be abolished
You should come and talk to my school
You are talking a lot of money. Many parents of straight A students don't want on special need students.
