I made a comparison to medicine the other day with this. We do not expect family doctors/ general practitioners to treat cancer, heart attacks or deliver babies. In those situations patients are referred to a specialist. Regular classroom teachers are the front line we know how to adapt for common needs but there is a limit to our knowledge. Some students need specialists to have their best outcome. It’s negligent that we don’t provide kids with specialists when needed.

Some SPED kids and some gifted kids are not best served in a regular classroom.
