There are 35,000 students with disabilities in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Meeting their needs is a daily challenge, and the school district tries to meet that challenge with a myriad of programs.
For example, North Miami Beach Senior High School has a cafe which serves customers while it also serves the kids who work there. They are students with disabilities, learning independence and job skills by working the cash register, making coffee, and taking orders.
They make progress, their teachers say, all the time.
