This course overall has been very enlightening and joyful for me. Sitting at home in these critical pandemic times nothing could have been better and this learning experience. Yes, I must say that my personal frames of reference have seen a change. The main changes came in the perspective though. While learning more about the special education modules I understood that how the issues special education has different connotation in the diversity of cultures, genders and languages. The way of learning and the way of teaching also is not one singular but is constantly evolving. The interaction with families has led to understanding that each family is fighting a war and the best thing that we can do is, to support them unconditionally. As teachers of special education, we are not doing just a job, we are undertaking a responsibility. Every culture, every gender has some specific issues and it is very crucial that it is addressed by keeping in mind the concept of individual difference.
