well everybody needs help
Some of them need, some of the students need more help than others
I've got some students that they don't say too much
to the other peers in the class
if they have disabilities or not
Sometimes a disability is very obvious and you know
that there's something there but in some cases, we have students
that may be just need a little bit more time to pick
up concepts and things like that
and sometimes with a student like that it's not that obvious.

in the end all the students learn at different paces and it depends on what your background is
but it depends on the individual student whether they want a penalty or not
it's I've never had any problems so far
some of them are very secretive
you know, they don't want to have anybody know
that there's an issue with this

I think it's an important thing
if they don't seek out help they're going to lose in the end
maybe for embarrassment or something like that they don't want to be singled out
and when we see that a student is struggling
we tend to have a tendency or, I do have a tendency
to shift them towards going, towards accessible learning
we deal with everything, it doesn't matter if you are purple-green with polka dots
it's still, you know this is what you have to deal with and that's what we do
