Focus Student Accuracy Paper

Improved Essays
Focus student one showed a 70% accuracy when asked to identify and sort pictures of objects into conceptual categories, a 59% accuracy when asked to identify and match all upper and lower case letter with prompting, and a 75% accuracy when asked to retell the main ideas or important facts from a read aloud. Based on these scores, I plan to raise the accuracy percentage goal for identifying and sorting colors, maintain the percentage accuracy goal for identifying upper and lower case letters, and raise the accuracy percentage goal for retelling main ideas or important facts. In terms of learning goals, the focus student has a bilateral hearing loss, therefore his learning goal will be to use self-advocating skills to ask for help or repetition of a question.
The areas of growth that will be focused on for the sequence of lessons are organization of objects into categories, letter identification, and sequencing. I choose these areas of growth based on the student’s IEP and Missouri Learning Standards. The student is presented with these tasks in his general education classroom, therefore directed one-on-one time with a hearing itinerant to allow for specific instruction is beneficial. The student will have time to

The task on retelling main ideas and important facts of a read aloud will allow for a visual representation of the student’s growth in sequencing pictures to promote this

    McNeill, Gillon, and Dodd (2009) recommend the use of an integrated phonological approach which requires the use of phonological structure as the base for identifying sounds, letters, and words. Individuals may participate in game-like activities requiring them to break the sounds of a given word into individual letter sounds and to identify letter names relative to letter symbols and sounds. Letter blocks and pictures are often used as part of the treatment method related to the interests of the child. The integral stimulation techniques suggested by Edeal and Gildersleeve-Neumann (2011) described above also utilized pictures as part of…

    I learned that Focus student number one increased his percentage from the baseline to the assessment by 20%. The baseline data showed that focus student number one received 70% accuracy when identifying and sorting shapes differing in only one key attribute: shape. The percentage of 70% represents that this was new vocabulary for the child, but at the same time not too challenging. The assessment data showed that focus student number one received 90% accuracy when identifying and sorting shapes differing in two key attributes: shape and size. Two key attributes were chosen for the assessment because as time passed, the child became comfortable with only one key attribute.…

    School Contrast As a future speech-language pathologist, I think it is easy to overlook the fact that I will most likely encounter clients who are deaf or hard of hearing (HOH). After all, I am going to school to specialize in helping those with speech and language disabilities- nowhere in my title does the word ‘hearing’ occur. Despite this, I will surely be part of an interdisciplinary team tasked with supporting those who experience hearing loss if I chose to work in the schools. Thus, the presentations from Presbyterian Ear Institute (PEI), New Mexico School for the Deaf (NMSD), and American Sign Language Academy (ASLA) were not only beneficial to my appreciation of the many approaches used to teach deaf and HOH children, they were critical…
