The personal philosophy paper gives students an opportunity to critically evaluate their professional and personal views of serving children with disabilities, examine the course of their professional training to date, and demonstrate their ability to choose research-based strategies specific to certain disabilities. While not all students taking this class are or will become special educators, this paper must focus on serving students with specific disabilities in your setting, whether a general education classroom, a counseling setting or in a speech therapy setting, to give a few examples.
