What does special ed look like?

A few months ago, I was showing a photo of my girls to an acquaintance.  I happened to mention that my older daughter has a learning disability and spent most of her school years in a special education classroom.  I mentioned how proud of her I am, that she is attending college now.  This person said, “She doesn’t look like a special ed student.”   Exactly how does a special ed student look????   I mean, I know that some disabilities are obvious.  But most are not.  It still bothers me to this day that she said that.  My daughter does not look like a disability.  She looks like my beautiful, hard working daughter.  I guess what I am trying to say is look beyond the disability,  look at the PERSON.
