Observation at Lifescape
I spent 8 hours observing a classroom at Lifescape in Sioux Falls. There were
10 students with severe disabilities within the classroom. The students were
between the ages of 7 and 11. Only one student was able to communicate verbally.
Many students used sign language, hand signals, and iGaze technology in order to
communicate. The day consisted of students participating in different services such
as physical and speech therapy. The class also worked on number recognition,
addition, singing, rhyming, and story time. This was an incredible experience that I
am so thankful to have had the opportunity to partake in as it was a great reminder
as to why I decided to pursue a career in Special Education.
