Treating children with ability differences the same as typically developing children is not always effective in meeting their unique needs. Telling parents exactly what accommodations their child will and won't need and writing an individualized education plan (IEP) without their input can also be ineffective and disrespectful. The best approach is to learn how ability differences affect children and classrooms, and work collaboratively with parents and other educators to create individualized supports and accommodations that best meet the child's needs.
