I am a special education teacher at an OTC school, namely a school that is an occupational training center for the special needs population it services. Our curriculum is geared to preparing the young adults entrusted in our care to become effective, functioning members of society. We do functional and vocational training on site and out of school as well. My classroom is comprised of 15 young adults with intellectual and developmental delays, such as Down syndrome, cerebral palsy, pervasive developmental disorder and the like. Even though they have limited abilities, they are fully cognizant of the things that occur in their sphere, and enjoy the day to day activities that their normal counterparts would. I gear my instruction towards functional skills that will assist them in their quest to become independent and to contribute to society in a significant way.
