This situation was particularly difficult for the family since none of the relatives were deaf. This meant that his parents were totally unprepared to raise four deaf children (Horovitz 85). The fact that Baird’s parents did not have deaf relatives also meant that they were unfamiliar with American Sign Language. To try to cope, they made use of ‘home signs’ as well as finger spelling in order to communicate with Baird and his other deaf siblings. As soon as they were of age, Baird and his deaf siblings were enrolled in the Kansas School of the Deaf in Olathe, Kansas.
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

The author also states that how the disease began. How his mother started to forgot little things of day to day life. The commonly known changes in behavior are the use of repetition of a sentence and aggression. She had difficulty performing routine tasks.

| In this essay I have identified a student with a learning disability which is dyslexia. In this essay I am writing about the important issues surrounding dyslexia and how it affects students from learning if it goes undiagnosed. Dyslexia is a neurological problem of a genetic origin which makes understanding of language skills extremely difficult. A description of the condition is the failure to learn to read, write or spell despite instruction. (Dyslexia, 1998), “believes that in the 1980’s, the definition of dyslexia was an exclusionary one.
Robert Findling says it best with his question ‘‘Why would you want to let a child suffer unnecessarily?’’ ( qtd. In Hawthorn 1). People whom do not know the extremities of the symptoms of ADHD are often quick to be adverse of using medication on children with ADHD. For children with ADHD sitting still and focusing on a task whither it be a teacher’s instructions or group activities are near impossible to complete on their own. “No one disagrees that people struggle – some profoundly, others less so – with inattention, restlessness, poor social skills, and academic or vocational frustration, poor self-esteem, substance abuse, accidents and injuries, and other problems correlated with ADHD” (Reznek 17).
I have worked with youngsters and adults with ADHD and find it astounding that in certain cases little is known by families, carers and the individuals about this disorder. Is this in light of the fact that resources are lacking, or on the grounds that opinions are divided on the condition itself? Alison Munden (1999) remarked that numerous families come to become despondent, on the grounds that their endeavours to find either a explanation for ADHD or a cure have been unsuccessful. I will begin with a brief look at the common treatments for ADHD followed by a literature review exploration of the choice of ADHD treatments. There are a lot of conflicting views and opinions for the treatment of ADHD I will look at four types or “treatments”
Secondly, some kids could be lacking motivation for the study and thus would neglect their opportunity for learning and school rules at the same time. Thirdly, children can have the desire of missing school if they have some relationship problems with other students or school personnel.The forth reason for the school absence is that children can be stressed out because they are overwhelmed with their sudies and from time to time they can miss school because of that. The reasons for the tardiness could be again not satisfactory level of the discipline of the children, kids being overwhelmed with the school(going to bed late because of it and having problems for getting themselves ready for school in time in the mornings) and also just regular traffic problems on children's way to school. 2. What theories are reflected in the different views and approaches recommended by the teachers and the principal?
Her utterances were typically limited to short, repetitive phrases that interrupted with word retrieval problems. She showed moderate difficulty naming objects and a moderate auditory comprehension deficit. She repeated simple words but could not repeat words and sentences which were longer and complex. He demonstrated right hemiplegia with oral-motor and speech apraxia. Her visual and auditory ability was
It bring our more problems such as communication problems which will be discuss later. In this case, there are some problems that related to Sammy and her family. I am going to list out those problems and suggest some possible solutions. First of all, Sammy doesn’t know what she like and dislike, and she even confused by a question “Who am I?” It shows that Sammy has a problem in knowing herself and shows that the Degrees of Self-Disclosure (Glaser, 1986) is quite low. The levels of basic data, preferences are not clear enough, it also affect the remaining levels, beliefs and feelings.
