Reed’s parent in the first video already had a close mind in what they wanted for their child which impact the conversation in the IEP meeting. As parents are the key point on implementing an IEP, the school officials were not willing to consider their concerns by over talking they believe is best for Reed’s least restricted environment level. For instance, in the first video, the parents stated they did not have a chance to travel to Kennedy School as it was out of their distance. This comment provided the school official knowledge the parents did not want to consider the school for their child and believe they only want to the Jones Elementary School for their child’s educational development. While observing the second video, Reed’s parents provided details of them researching Kennedy School and their unwillingness of visiting the school due to illness of Reed, rather than the travel. In addition, the parents provided the school official with questions to help them understand the outcome of Reed’s educational process along with state their concerns of the positive and negative outcome of both Jones Elementary school and Kennedy

    Sean's Story Film Analysis

    Audiences were able to witness several meetings between Sean’s teachers, administration, and parents where all parties successfully discussed Sean’s condition and needs. Once teachers began to look past Sean’s disability and develop flexible teaching styles, they were able to create systems that aided the progressing minds of not only Sean, but his classmates as well.

    In regards to placement or map out of IEP for Bentley Barr. Per the evaluations that were conducted by Childwatch/Capital School District, Bentley’s family has been discussing the best options and we’re not sure we agree and would like to re-evaluate Bentley’s placement choice for the Wesley School for reasons to be further noted. I request Prior Written Notice to explain why Bentley was offered a two day program even though the IEP team thought that he needed to be awarded one more day, but there simply is no more room in this classroom for him. The team felt that this was the best option for him and that he would be able to learn more due to a smaller classroom size with this choice.…

    Case Study Of 504 Transfer Plan

    A parent was seeking the 504 plans for her seventh-grade daughter since she had been previously accommodated for her school anxiety. The response to this by Mike Casper was to wait and assess her progress in the mid-semester period that seems he did not trust the information from the concerned parent. Also, this was to adjust her teaching accordingly as the teachers would see fit. Therefore, this was an excellent way to the inquiry since the assessment of the child was the only way to determine whether they needed adjustment from IEP to the 504 plans but he should have considered the 504 transfer plan from the previous school before discussing it with the 504 team and for re-evaluation so as to continue using 504…

    Tedmedical Video Analysis

    One new and/or surprising thing that Ms. Nadine Burk Harris said in the TedMedical Video was, that children that have been abused or neglected in severe cases have triply the amount of percentage that they will get heart disease and lung cancer as well as a twenty-year less life expectantly (Harris, 2014). Even though I am a nursing student had I have been studying the health community these statics took me by a surprise. It is very upsetting to me that children don’t have much control over there environment the grow up in and then if they get severely abused or neglected at that age their outcome as an adult has a significant drop in the quality of health. 2. Look over the ACEs measure.…

    I am very surprised by this video and what I learned in it. I could not imagine being taken from my home to go to a boarding school to learn a certain way of life. America was founded on the idea of freedom and this is not at all a reflection of that. Those children grew up learning a completely different way of life compared to what they should have learned. At those boarding schools one of the ladies said they had belts without buckles on it for whipping them.…

    Reflection Paper On Iep Meeting

    The parent did not seem very involved in the decision-making, but I believe it was because she spoke no English. Even with an interpreter, it was hard to express everything she wanted to say due to time. The mother was most concerned and showed emotion of crying when discussing Laura`s transitional plan. The mother was just so concerned about her daughter doing well in school, but when we assured her she was one of the smartest students in most of her classes, she seemed to get very happy, and showed her emotion through smiling and laughing. Even though the General education teacher or the parent did not have much input about decision-making, the meeting flowed nicely and…

    Individuals With Disabilities Education Act (IEA)

    Education is important and extremely valued within American society, although students with disabilities have struggled with getting the opportunity to have the same fair, appropriate education as their nondisabled peers. In 1975, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act (EHA) was enacted and public schools began to provide accommodations for students with disabilities. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) replaced the EHA in 1990, and it was designed to place more focus on the individual’s needs. Disabled students have benefitted greatly from IDEA since it was enacted 26 years ago. IDEA has immensely changed the way students with disabilities receive an education.…
