Have any of you taught students with special needs? I had a student today with MS that affects her hands. She learned the chain stitch today and was starting to get the single crochet stitch. She was satisfied with her progress today and is going to take the same class again next month to get more practice with single crochet before she starts her project.

I took my cues from her on how much help to give her and how much to let her work on her own. She gave me an excellent evaluation and said I was patient, so I feel really good about the lesson. I only had two students so had amble time for one-on-one instruction.

I'd be very interested to hear from other teachers who have worked with students with special needs.
