Answer to Question 1

Most children with special needs can be mainstreamed or included in regular
classrooms as long as they are provided some special resources. The federal
government requires, in fact, that special needs children be placed in the least
restrictive environment, i.e., that they are mainstreamed to the greatest extent
possible. Teachers or teaching assistants are required to formulate an individual
education plan (IEP), outlining the goals, activities, and expected outcomes for the
child. These activities are often provided through special resources such as a
resource room especially equipped to assist the child.

Answer to Question 2

Selective attention is the ability to focus on one thing while ignoring other things in
the environment. This ability helps children listen and block out distractions and
therefore retain more information. Automatization is the repetition of sequences of
thoughts and actions to the point at which they become routine. Neural processing
becomes more efficient as children need to think less when engaging in routine
tasks to free their brains to acquire more complex skills.
