According to Weintraub, Elizabeth Farrell and her colleagues have made agree on that a standard of special education is needed. Law of special education should be modified and implemented to better help the people with special needs.

My grandmother, who cannot hear anything for more than 20 years. She is also eager to get special education. She was a physics teacher in high school. However, after she cannot hear. She became a student trying to learn how to teach students even when she cannot hear. She is also very eager to learn english as a Chinese. However, the pronunciation is a huge problem for her to be overcomed. When I was at home, I sometimes feels like I am actually practicing special education by helping my grandmother learning english. I try to use the words in Chinese that she knows how to pronounce to help her get the correct voice of words and sentences. In China, special education are developing much slower than special education in U.S. since there are much more people that needs special education and much less people having interesting in participating special education.
From my experiences and reading, I realized that special education is very important and needs to get the attention of more people. More action and program are needed to be done in this field to give everyone an equal chance to learn and having a happiness life without difficulties.
