Speaking of Special Ed In Schools, What Have You Seen Work? (discuss.online)

Looking SpaceFox's question for people who have been in special ed, it seems pretty like its a pretty negative experience. So, I'd like to know what Lemmy users have seen work well for people who need extra help in school? What haven't you seen but think would be helpful?

I replied to @[email protected], and you can find my reply here.

Here's the things that actually helped me:

Teachers/authority figures making me feel heard and valued. (From ECS to Highschool graduation, I had maybe 4 teachers who really went out of their way to help)
Fellow students who stood up/spoke up for me (I had a group of boys corner me in the washroom and start berating me and until I broke down and started crying. A boy, who I didn't even know his name, but was accqainted with came in and stood up to the group. I will never forget what he did.)
Friends
people going out of their way to make me feel welcome (when it happened I didn't know why they were being so nice to me.)

Things I think would have helped:

Knowing that it's okay to need help
someone telling me the things happening are not acceptable or normal
