    Obama fully supports special education and he wants the people free of unnecessary barriers. Our nation has a responsibility to our students with disabilities. I am so happy to hear that our president cares about children with special needs!

    I am so happy to hear that the president is in support of people with disabilities and want to make sure that their rights are being met. I think that more research and support for people with disabilities will b e made.

    This is the kind of person we need to be in power, someone who truly stands up for every individual and thier needs. He fully supports special education and is fully aware of what needs to get done.

    I am glad to hear that the president supports early intervention. Infant screening for potential impairments are important as well as re-screening all two year olds. Infants and toddlers will benefit from early intervention.

    It is nice to know that President Obama understands and is willing to help and have more an impact on helping those that have disabilities, within schools, and within the work community.

    I think he tried to make us understand that teachers, researchers, educators are not along. I also think with his support in special education, will give us enough courage to do our best for the children.

    Having a brother with autism, hearing this video gives me more hope.
    im glad to kno obama supports full funding of (I.D.E.A) and believes that screening at an early age is important. The ealier screening is made the better outcome a child will have. i Hope with his efforts there is more research done and as he said more intervention.

    I am extremely glad to read president Obama’s interest and fully supporting the special education and above all he understands what it means to be a special child. For a special child’s family to read this would be a new light and to read not to worry about and be free of barriers. I have nobody having autism but still hearing the video gave me more hope. Again nobody will have to sacrifice due to funding or budget cuts. Above all he is a great believer of early intervention which is good news for we teachers who are in these field. Thank you so much president Obama.
