Candy, on the other hand was neither worried nor self conscious. She wasn’t seeking sympathy or any kind of special treatment.
Ms.Defelice soon became concerned about whether Candy could handle an upcoming oral report and asked her if she would rather substitute another as signment.candy insisted that she could do it.

Sounds like a "buddy system" may work well. The teacher can set up a schedule and have the group work in twos, changing partners with each new assignment. This would do two very big things: the teacher could observe how the children work together, without pretense, with Candy and may make her more at ease; it would teach the teacher and students a very valuable lesson in learning along side someone with a disability - someone different, bright, and just limited, but not by their intelligence....
