5. Reflection The impact these students had on me was indescribable. Great first-time experience in an all-inclusive Ex Ed classroom. It has affected me greatly seeing students with disabilities living each day with positive, ready-to-learn attitudes. I have learned many techniques and strategies to use in order to make students with disabilities feel more comfortable.
