are all syndromes and disabilities that we have to be
cautious off but they are in fact very different ranging
form behaviors, causes and even in their needs. For
example students with down syndrome need a boost
in self esteem and their actions vary from bitter to
sweet. Then when dealing with traumatic brain
injuries students tend to be more aggressive and they
go through constant mood swings. Finally there is the
autistic students. Autistic students have to have the
same routine and when they get off routine then
they might panic or may even be thrown off.
