Reflection Paper No. 13 the exceptionalities
          I learned from our discussion :”Learners with exceptionalities” , exceptional learners those persons who are different in some way from the “normal” or “average” these include those with special needs related to cognitive abilities, behavior, social functioning, physical/sensory impairments, emotional disturbances and giftedness. Children who cannot proceeds directly information or remember.  All this kind of disabilities mental, emotional and physical disabilities needs deeper understandings. We differentiate the disability and handicap. Disability means the condition of being unable to perform as a consequence of physical or mental unfitness while handicap means a degree of disadvantage is dependent made by both the person and his environment. According to Lev Vygotsky in his theory about the socio-cultural, learners should needs scaffolding for their learning capabilities especially they have defects in mental, emotional and physical. Parents and teachers should give great contributions to develop well their learning structures even they have disabilities. Dr. Olga shared her experiences when she was assigned in Santa Ana National High School Tagoloan, Misamis Oriental as a principal; during her first day as a principal she made an order that all motorcycles should be parked at designated areas. She noticed that there is one motorcycle every morning get inside the school campus. But she found out that the child is carried by his father getting inside the classroom because he has a physical deformity.
          I realize that people with disabilities is not a hindrance to reach an education. These kinds of persons need our supports and compassion. Teachers should building good relationship between them. There are some people with disabilities that are successful in their field with the supports of their parents and relatives.
          When I’m become a teacher someday I will give courage and positive insight to them so that they will continue their ambition whatever happen because this is the only way they can get better future in spite their disabilities.
