Many students have learning disabilities that can affect them in many ways weather being writing focusing on a task at hand, standing up to people, talking backwards, having to make things perfect and many more. But there can be a disadvantage to all that. Having certain learning disabilities can be treated unfairly in certain schools like being separated from kids that might help them, or being treated like little children. When in reality being with “normal” kids might help them more.sometimes their needs are met and sometimes they are not. Which that is what this report is all about.
I suffer from permanent nerve damage in my dominant hand due to a car accident caused by a distracted driver. This experience taught me the importance of support and patience in working with individuals who have disabilities. Additionally, my involvement in working at the Reading Clinic, with children who have dyslexia, ADHD, autism, and other learning disabilities, enhanced my aspirations to help those with impairments. My vision for my professional life is to make a positive impact on the lives of individuals with speech and communication-related disorders. I want to help them overcome their challenges and reach their full potential.
Understanding the history of special education and its impact on individual lives provides educators and families with a positive perspective on student’s academic and social achievement. Special education services were almost non-existent and with the passage of Public Law 94-142 everything changed. As the law continues to evolve, the rules and regulations become more prevalent. Handicapped and disabled students educational careers can now include reading, language arts, math, live skills training, vocational readiness, and various work training programs. Society has significantly become more understanding and aware of people with disabilities since the establishment of Public Law 94-142.
One of the professors in the module pointed out that there is a line between remediation and compensation. Schools tend to focus heavily on remediation and that can send a message to the child when they continue to struggle that they can’t learn. Another reason is that assistive technology can improve the functional skills of a student, which helps the student succeed academically. 3. Why is it important to consider both AT devices and services?
The IQ scores of 40-60 are considered significantly subaverage, which means that the IQ test performance of Ed Murphy was under the expectations. People with this level of IQ are expected to be very limited, including intellectual skills and adaptive behavior. In other words, they are not expected to communicate well, to understand what people around them explain, to solve problems, or to socially interact appropriatelly. However, reading the report of Ed Murphy, one can see that he is much more than the label.
The school must have tried the use of supplementary aids and related services and where they fail to provide desirable outcomes, the recommendation to place the student in a special education setting should be considered. This is shown in the case of Greer v. Rome City School (1991) where the parent to a disabled student successfully argued for inclusion based on the fact that the school had not provided adequate supplementary aids and services that could be sufficient to ensure an inclusive placement at the school. The parties should adequately discuss issues such as the need to provide a Response to Intervention Program (RTI) before deciding whether the student’s disability requires special education and related services. Where it is determined that the outcomes of a disabled students subjected to RTI programs in a regular education classroom cannot progress, then it will be warranted to remove that child from that setting and place him or her in a more restrictive classroom environment.
The first observation was conducted on August 30th at 9:00 a.m., while the student was participating in the special education resource room. The observation took place for a total of 25 minutes. For the duration of the observation the student was seated at a small table working one-on-one with the special education teacher. Along with the student being observed and the special education teacher, two other students, as well as, two paraprofessionals were in the special education resource room during the observation time. One student and paraprofessional were working one-on-one at a small table, while the other student was sitting in a bean bag chair reading a book.
The profession of Speech-Language Pathology is governed by the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA), as well as many federal laws, to uphold the best services for the clients being habilitated or re-habilitated. The Individuals with Disabilities Act (IDEA), (PL 105-17), 1997 Amendment helped provide the use of assistive technology devices for all children with disabilities, which was huge in the field for SLP’s. These devices, though the Individualized Education Plan (IEP), made those being treated have more possibility and promise to become the best they could though this additional mode of therapy. (Dwight, 2015, p. 71) Another law applicable to SLP’s, is The No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act (PL 107-110), 2001 ensuring schools
Accessibility is a concept that essentially applies to the customization of products, services, appliances and environments in a way that enables them to be used by people who have various types of disabilities. Effectively speaking, these products and services are designed in such a manner that enables people with special needs to gain both ‘direct’ as well as ‘indirect’ access to them. At the same time, the benefits of accessibility also extend to a wider category of individuals such as senior citizens and medical patients. Assistive technology is a term that is closely associated with the concept of accessibility. For instance, the application of assistive technology is what makes electronic equipment such as computer screen readers accessible to all categories of end users, including those with disabilities or special needs.
Special education is a discipline marked by a lot of controversy and which elicits a heated debate among education administrators, parents, and teachers. Full inclusion, which is the belief that disabled students should be incorporated into regular classrooms, regardless of whether they meet conventional curricular standards or not, is the major point of controversy. Full inclusion embraces the idea that disabled students should undertake regular education and only be excluded in a class when important services cannot be offered to them (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010). This paper seeks to delve into the arguments surrounding full inclusion and establish their validity. It will achieve this by highlighting the arguments for and against
Henry Ford once said, “Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress. Working together is success” (Brainy Quote). From here, the concept of inclusive education, including students with and without learning disabilities as peers in the same classroom, originated. The aim of this type of education is to get students with learning disabilities involved in the society. Teachers and fellow students will also provide help for students with disabilities; in this way, students with learning disabilities will be motivated to study as they feel that they are a part of a group instead of being isolated in special places.
In short, children with disabilities enable the regular teachers to keep always abreast of new development in
