In my opinion I don’t think special needs schools are the best for people with disabilities. The reason is because this is also from experience and talking to loads of others about this topic. I think special needs schools or colleges etc dont train people with with disabilities with the outside world. I feel like they stick them into one group with others that have disabilities and they don’t give them much. That isn’t a bad thing but I do think that students with disabilities need to communicate and socialise with students who go mainstream schools. I understand that students don’t like mainstream schools due to being bullied or the fear of it and that is understandable. However I do think I’m not sure if any schools do this now but I think that mainstream schools should be teaching special education. That way students who go mainstream schools who don’t have disabilities would understand what it’s like for someone with a disability or a condition. That way students with no disabilities could help special needs students and special needs students teach students with no disability some things. Also as long as the special needs students are getting as much help as possible. Plus only being at a special needs college for a year only for having dyslexia and dyspraxia I feel like the teachers don’t let the students with disabilities be independent. They don’t give the students much choice on things on what they wanna do and from what I’ve seen and been told not saying this is everyone. I feel like special needs students feel like they are in a prison and some do have behaviour issues and I feel like special needs schools and colleges don’t really help the students with their issues. However from my experience when the special needs students from special needs schools or colleges get moved up to mainstream colleges they get the chance to be more independent and they get to be more free and themselves then their behaviour isn’t as bad. A lot of the times the special needs students just want to be treated like everybody else in the world. Where a lot of special needs schools and colleges don’t do that they category’s them and tell them what they can and can’t do and a lot of the time they fail to see the special needs students potential also put down their ambition. How is that gonna help them in the future?
