Been teaching shop for 32 years.have had hundreds of special needs kids. They almost always do well and are good at following directions. They also have a tendency to make your day. My first year, 32 years ago, before they began putting special needs kids with the others, I was assigned to teach a sped woodworking class. The para assigned to assist me was more work than the kids.I would take two pieces of wood and nail them together and lift them with the nail. The para would clap every time. The kids would look at each other and shake their heads. It was hilarious and I did it every day. I still remember those kids.
