MI: Chapter 11

This chapter introduces the fact that MI can and should be applied to not only special education students but the teachers as well. In a typical scenario a special education teacher labels each student based on their disability and knows what that is and tries to work around it in a way so as to avoid anything that their disability may limit them from. An example would be a dyslexic student, who obviously has a hard time reading. What should be recognized is that their disability in most cases will relate to an intelligence, so then they are lacking in that intelligence. But the best thing to know is that because they are lacking in that intelligence doesn't mean that it cannot be bypassed by using a different intelligence to have a better understanding in the intelligence that their disorder hinders. Just because their disability limits them in one are doesn't mean they can;t strive in another. In most cases because their disability hinders one intelligence another intelligence will grow and become more in tune to make up for the other one. So basically, one intelligence and make up for another, or at least create another route around.
