First of all, children are spared the effects of being separate and segregated. Sometimes, segregated education can provide negative effects, such as labeling (Wolery, M. and Wilbers, J., 1994).

However, I started to feel that I was living in a sort of privileged dream-world; I needed to give back something more substantial than a good show. I taught learning disabled children last summer, and volunteered last semester at a preschool. I am currently looking for a job in politics for this summer, and I hope to use my time next year working on a great (as yet undetermined) public service project. I feel extremely
teachers were not aware of ADHD and were extremely critical of me and insensitive to my disability. It was then I was approached to help Freddie, who is mentally challenged, prepare for the upcoming "Challenger Little League." In the league disabled children play, and "normal" kids act as their "buddies" to help move the game along.
