This problem may vary from academic, social or generally communication disability. Therefore it is important for parents with deaf or hard of hearing children with disabilities to engage in early intervention for proper development of their children. Research questions The study will examine the extent of which parents with deaf child children are aware of the importance of early intervention program to their children. The study attempts to answer the following research questions. 1) What are the parents' perception of early intervention in the early development of their deaf child 2) Are the children's competence and performance enhanced when formal language (either speech or sign) is used in this prime period?
Learning disabilities in young children in school are commonly misunderstood and can affect the classroom and the other students, the child may require a treatment plan, and will have need of as much parental involvement as possible (NCLD, 2013). Learning how to identify learning disabilities is the first step in helping a child. Because of the extensive variations, there is no one symptom or profile that an individual can look for as evidence of a problem. Although, certain warning signs are more apparent than others at the different ages of children, and if an individual is attentive of what they are, an individual should be able to notice the signs and quickly take the actions to get the child some help. As parents, paying attention to the natural developmental signs of young children to teenagers is a vital part of detecting a learning disability.
Inclusion classrooms were developed to help a child with special needs become a part of a regular classroom that is the least restrictive as possible. When a child is first placed on an Individual Education Plan (IEP), they are given some goals based on the type of plan they will be working on. Children are put on an IEP because they have physical, behavior, or academic disabilities which they require some assistance in different forms (Dildine, 2010). The federal government created the Individual with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) to help protect children with disabilities from being excluded or treated unfairly in a regular classroom setting (Ballard, 2006). Placing a child in an inclusive classroom requires a team of people to assess the individual child’s needs and prepare the child, peers and teachers for the child to reenter a regular classroom environment.
She tells me she has been taught by her teacher things like how to spell the word, “butt” and how to look for leaks by locating brown spots on the ceiling. After school programs should be a place where children can continue to learn and grow within educational boundaries. It should not be a facility used only for babysitting or supervision until the parent arrives. These government funded programs should be taken more seriously by the administrators by implementing a better academic curriculum, hiring educated staff, and promoting higher learning. An academic curriculum is something that I feel should be in place during after school programming because during this time of day you can count on a child having a wondering mind that may lead to danger if left idle for too long.
The myth is that the brain develops within the first three years of a child’s life, so the first three years are the most important for development. Disagreement With Myth Lugo-Gil and Tamis-LeMonda (2008) found that the parenting quality, judged by the interactions between parent and child, influence the cognitive development of a child. The act of spending quality time with a child in early development has a positive influence on cognitive development (Broderick & Blewitt, 2015). The difference surrounding the myth is that the brain is not fully
Encouragement is also important during all aspects of school life such as during lessons, their work, forming friendships and finding new things because this will help the children to try new things and to progress and move forward with their development and education. Secondary Schools- During this period of time in a child’s life it is important we do not intimidate or talk down to the child as this can really knock a child’s confidence, self esteem and could affect their professional relationship with the teaching assistant. Boundaries should be in place so children should know what is expected
The Civil Right Movement brought about legislation in preventing prejudice towards people with disabilities allowing them the right to an education. Legislation made sure parents are well-informed of their rights concerning their child’s education and special instructions designed to meet their needs. The social implications of litigation on the lives of students with disabilities is giving students equality in education where teachers develop modification and accommodations to meet student’s academic and social goals. I would say thinking has changed dramatically regarding the understanding of students with disabilities. For, many people did not understand or had the true knowledge of disabilities and how to help students with disabilities.
These sessions at the library would provide them with a quiet environment to learn and get a better understanding of their work. Parents should also be of help to their child when they are studying because there may be some materials the child doesn’t know, and having them there can be helpful. Having these study sessions could prepare the child for tests and keep them in good condition for class. Study sessions are a way to begin studying early, so that when the test is distributed the child is well prepared. Next, the parents could have their children review their work at the end of every week.
Not a lot of people realize that children are passed to the next grade level no matter how they are doing academic wise only socially. Automatic advancement to the next grade level must be eliminated from our schools. Many people may say that gifted children could be an exception to the rule about advancing grade levels in school. The reason why people might think that these children can be an exception is because the children might know material that the other classmates are learning. If this is the case the teacher can tell if gifted children are helping their fellow classmates with the homework or work that is being taught.
If students don’t understand the material in class what makes you think going home to do more work is going to help. Less homework can help improve grades on report cards because they will have more time to study the materials and understand the concepts they are learning. Instead of work to take home, teachers should give more class work, quizzes, and tests because this will force students to actually study and make sure they understand the materials. With this study method students will have more reasons to go to teachers for tutoring and ask for help in areas of difficulty. Also with this method teachers will be able to recognize where their classes weak points by reviewing the testes.
