Their teacher plans to help students from other schools do the same.<\/p>\n
Does it say “inclusion”?
\nThe TV station identifies the intelectual disability program. It is just a coffee cart. No branding, as of this story.<\/p>\n
Is it for the student? Or is it for the teacher?
\nOnce again, special education students serve teachers, which is not their job.<\/p>\n
Is This the Least-Restrictive Environment?
\nDefinitely not. They are not with their general education peers who don’t serve coffee to their teachers.<\/p>\n
What needs to change?
\nIt is not the student’s job to serve coffee and other coffee shop beverages to their teachers.<\/p>\n
Is it for a high school diploma?
\nThe student interviewed talks about getting a culinary diploma. Entering college does require a diploma. She may be on a track to get a diploma. The story focused on one student. The reporter probably used the best case of those willing to be interviewed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
