Intelligence does not eliminate disability or special education needs. A student can be academically capable and still require significant support with executive functioning, communication, regulation, sensory needs, organization, social interaction or other areas. #Onted #Edusky

Not every behaviour is about defiance. Sometimes “I need to be first” is really: “I need to feel prepared.” “I need to know I’ll get a turn.” “I need help with flexibility.” #edusky
