    In reading the case study, “Is This Child Mislabeled,” there is a lot of great information on children with disabilities. In the case study there is a boy named Sergio, who is a third grader from Serbia, where he is now a student at Oakwood Elementary. He has been diagnosed as having a learning disability due to the fact that he tested poorly on the assessments that his new school required. In reading the article, and some very great points for The Iris Center Star Sheet, I believe, that Sergio has, in fact, been mislabeled as having a learning disability; however, with the help of Mrs. Evans, his new resource teacher, he is getting the help that is truly needed. To begin, Sergio was not assessed adequately.…

When static, standardised tests are used, it may indicate that the child may have MLD, but it is unable to assess other difficulties that the child may have, such as motivation and emotions.

    Throughout my observation time spent at Reese Elementary, I have had the opportunity to observe two teachers, Mrs. Church, who is a second-grade teacher, and Mr. Dohrmann, who is a fifth-grade teacher. The teachers teach different grade levels and have very different teaching styles which lead to differences in classroom management and assessment, as well as, other categories. Even though there are many differences between Mrs. Church and Mr. Dohrmann they also have many similarities, such as the way they handle discipline and motivation. During my observation hours in both classrooms, I noticed the classroom management procedures that both teachers use. Both teachers have a class schedule they go by to keep the students and themselves on task throughout the day.…

This factor encompasses the question of who is in charge and enforcing the availability of the funding. When the IDEA was first established, Congress committed to paying 40 percent of the average cost to educate a disabled child, and entrusted the states and local governments to fulfill the remaining costs (CEC, 2015). The Council of Exceptional Children (2015) report also explains that Congress had developed a process for gradually phasing in funding increases for IDEA requirements. Unfortunately, Congress never satisfied this promise, and thus, funding for the policy has progressively decreased throughout the years.…
