This should be a very straightforward question. If you have, share the extent to which you have worked with students with disabilities. Explain your roles and responsibilities, because they can vary with different age groups and ability levels. If the answer is no, share your eagerness to learn and what got you excited about working with students.

"I have worked with students with disabilities for the past two years through my church. Our children's program is very inclusive to all kids, but some require a buddy in order to fully engage. I have been a buddy for the same two young children for the past two years. I greet them at the door when they arrive, help them engage with other kids during free play, involve them in the various activities we do, and make them feel welcome. They have different abilities; one needs some behavior and socialization support while the other is nonverbal. I work very closely with both of them so they feel a part of the group and can engage with whatever the group is doing."
