Many children with disabilities usually need more structured and clearly amorphous surroundings, also behaviorally, than a general education classroom can offer. ADHD’s basic signs for children with an ADHD are lack of concentration, hyperactivity, and impulsivity causes child children to cope with day to day school challenges (Zentall, 1993). Children with ADHD have trouble sustaining attention to stay on task; this causes them to miss important details on their assignments, distraction during class activities and difficulty organizing assignments. According to doctor (Russell Barkley), he said that “children with ADD/ADHD have the tendency to fall behind about 30 percent, when it comes to their developmental performance.” In fact, the NIH
Current Issues Summary and Response Matt 12/12/2010 Intro As a future special education teacher one of my jobs will be to keep up-to-date on current issues in the education field and let my parents know about any helpful development on these current issues. It is important for teachers to keep tabs on new developments that could be useful to better their understanding of education as a whole. There are a plethora of current issues involving special education. These issues range from more controversial to less controversial. Some of the more controversial issues are the use of tests to place students into special education, how should we grade students with special needs and how to discipline a student who is in special education.
Spending time going through the learning activities and seeing how children have responded to a certain task or question, can really help change it for future activities. It is also important to look back at the learning objects so you can measure what the children have learned. It is important to have clear objectives at the planning stage, in order to evaluate whether pupils have achieved them after the lesson. If children have rushed through the activity and then looked bored then it would be obvious that the task was a bit too easy and not really suitable or beneficial for that group. Therefore you would need to try and make it more engaging and stimulating, perhaps by making it more difficult or time-consuming so the students really have to work to complete it.
Kathy Parker Grand Canyon University: SPE 351 February 1, 2013 The problems associated with assessing students with Intellectual Disability are that the student shows signs and or behaviors. In assessing students a teacher must first understand the disability and all that is contributed to it. Teachers must look at the students’ ability to learn as well as his or her ability to perform daily task such as having the ability to dress them, comb their hair, and interact with others in the same age group as they are. In looking at these factors the teacher looks at a variety of factors such as intelligence scores, questionnaires, and observations in different setting over a period of time. Once this is completed then the teacher is able to assess the student and provide the support that they will need to function in the educational surroundings.
Help Improve Own and Team Practice in Schools Explain in detail how you would you would take note of children and young people's responses to your own practice: Take and note about you've interacted with children, how they've responded to you and if you can improve or better what happened in a similar situation in the future. It is always important to remember that children are not clones, some respond well to humour, some do not. Even sarcasm meant in the most light hearted manner to some children could be mistaken in some cases as a form of passive aggressiveness, therefore it is best avoided on a one to one basis. It is also important to remember that the people you are assisting are developing in life, some are more advanced than others and some are more sensitive than others. Children may laugh at bit of harmless humour delivered on a friendly manner if being spoken to as a group and it can also be helpful to speed their attention spans which will be on a varied level in every single class sometimes even on each end of the spectrum.
Manage failing students so that they may either enhance their performance and capabilities for safe and effective practice or be able to understand their failure and their implications of this for their future. Be accountable for confirming that students have met, or not met, the NMC competencies in practice. As a sign-off mentor confirm that students have met, or not met, the NMC standards of proficiency in practice and are capable of safe and effective practice. 4. Evaluation of learning Contribute to evaluation of student learning and assessment experiences – proposing aspects for change as a result of such evaluation.
Rather, in situations of need, people with severe learning disabilities may simply behave automatically in ways which have been successful in the past. When trying to understand the reason(s) for a child’s challenging behaviour, a medical investigation should be sought in the first instance, to check for any possible underlying health influences. Common conditions such as ear infections, tooth-ache, constipation, urinary tract infections or epilepsy may all cause, or contribute to someone’s challenging behaviour. Functional Assessment A functional assessment of the behaviour may provide some answers, or at least some theories, about the causes of an individual’s behaviour. As noted in the Challenging Behaviour Foundation’s
Learning Disabilities, Communication Disorders & Giftedness Grand Canyon University: SPE 526 February 22, 2012 Abstract There are different types of disabilities and they affect people in different ways. Some are recognized as the child develops, others happen in the womb and some are inherited. This document will discuss the definition, characteristics and causes of learning disabilities, communication disorders and giftedness. Learning Disabilities Learning disabilities are different from a physical disability because it is not visible to the naked eye. Their fellow students don’t see them using a wheelchair or crutches but notice that they get very low grades.
It means that students can take responsibility for some of their own progression. Students can ask themselves what am I learning and how can I do it better. Giving students constructive feedback will allow them to recognise how they can progress and achieve the next step in their learning. Having confidence that all students can improve. Both the teacher and student are involved in the reviewing process and can reflect on the assessment information.
Children with this disability tend to have more delay in development of academic, social, and adaptive skills particularly in learning to read and learn basic math skills. This often tends to lead to further delays in academic progress in other areas such as writing, spelling, and science, all of which require the knowledge of fundamental skills. Intellectual disabilities can be caused by any condition that impairs development of the brain before or during birth, or in childhood years. Two known causes are Down
