Down Syndrome Affecting Motor Behavior Specifically in Postural Control By: Malinda Sachse Introduction: My purpose behind selecting this topic was to further educate myself and to support my daycare students. There is a student of mine who has Down syndrome and I work with him on a regular basis. I am his Physical Education teacher and I am constantly making sure my lesson plans are catered to his needs as well as the other students in his class. I was interested in learning more about this topic as a whole to educate myself and see if I could help him by any additional means, as he does not receive this type of assistance at home. I also have other students with impairments and I have learned to apply some similar techniques thought out some of the disorders.
The way he does this is by explaining a significant event in each grade. This is true because he organized this narrative from grade one to twelve. This narrative was presented by a very brief and broad description of Alexie's education which will directly lead to him explaining the significances of each grade chronically. Alexie described each grade by explaining an important events he experienced or witnessed; these experiences will lead him to lessons that he learned which will change his perceptions as a person. At the first few grades he encountered, Alexie organized them with how he felt at the end of each grade rather than lessons that could benefit him.
Content The Short Bus is written from the life experiences of Jonathan Mooney, a man who had a learning disability and could not read until he was 12. He writes this book to help people become aware of the negative effects labeling a child with a disability can be. From the time he started school; Jonathan had a difficult time fitting into the mainstream of public schooling. It is a journey of self-reflection, and a window to a way of stepping outside the comforts of being “normal”. This is an eye-opening, insightful book that could be read by anyone who wants to face the hidden reality of what makes us unique and normal in our own way.
Here’s a quick information overload about him, his theories, his influences and his influence on the 21st century. Besides his loyal band of followers and his developed program for the behavioral control of society, he promoted behaviors modification techniques, and invented an automated crib for tending infants (Skinner, 1998). But other than his band of follows most don’t know the background information about him; Burrhus Frederic Skinner, or B. F. Skinner, wasn’t initially in to psychology he had gotten a degree in English and he wanted to be a writer of some sort. Throw much trial and error, with his writing, he decided to go back to school for psychology, which he received his master in 1930 and his doctorate in 1931(Boeree, 1998). He ended up going back to work at Harvard, which is where he received his master and doctorate, and there he wrote many books about psychology and taught many doctoral candidates(Boeree,1998).Even after learning that fact you would think more people would know about his contribution to psychology.
Carl Rogers is the foremost developer of this type of therapy, which is centered on the client. He believed that people are very capable of self realization and self actualization if given the right atmosphere. Rogers changed his major several times in college before settling in to study clinical psychology. He, like many philosophers before him, drew his deep passion for the study of people from his own experiences as a child in the family circle. One of the principals Rogers believed in to the core was that he didn’t have all the answers and his theory wasn’t the end all.
The Canadian flag that we see in schools and flag poles was also his idea. In 1968 Pearson retired from politics. Unfortunately he got cancer and later on died in 1972. Pearson was followed by Pierre Trudeau in office As a result of many of his actions and accomplishments, Lester B. Pearson demonstrated peace to the world. He created Canada's reputation as a neutral
Various incidents in teaching that I experienced as a student while at school helped showed me the teacher that I had to be and the teacher not to become. Some of the experiences which were good and bad had me wondering how and why some people became teachers. The good experiences made me glad that I had the teacher that was teaching me and the bad experiences made wish that they never taught me. The first two incidents took place in primary school. I attended St. X’s primary school in San Fernando.
After watching the documentary, I felt like I wasn’t sure of the position the narrator took. He wouldn’t take them, but it seemed like he wanted to build his body naturally and not use something to boost his gym performance that wasn’t natural. That being said, he did use protein powder and whey. After thinking on it for a few days though I came to the conclusion that he viewed them as medication. Just as a student would take a substance to focus his or her mind to help them achieve greater things in the education world, so do athletes take a medication to help them achieve greater things in the gym or on the field.
I thought that my nephew needed to be in a traditional classroom to learn how to cope with his behavioral problems and learn to coexist with other children. The teachers at the school thought that he needed the special attention that a self-contained classroom could provide him. How is this self-contained class going to affect his self esteem and self concept? Wouldn’t a traditional classroom be the better environment for him? How is being labeled a “special needs” child going to influence his education?
