Functional-Behavioral Assessment-Based Interventions For Elementary School Students

Decent Essays
Practices designed to support student behavior and reduce disciplinary exclusion rates should meet existing standards of effectiveness for the population of students with disabilities in special education. The What Works Clearinghouse (WWC) has identified seven programs that specifically address the behavior of students with disabilities and help students (a) regulate behavior, (b) understand expectations, (c) reduce conduct problems, and (d) improve social skills. Of these seven programs, only one (Functional-Behavioral Assessment-Based Interventions) is designed for K-12 students, the remaining six programs apply to elementary school students only. Of the seven programs, five (First Step to Success, Coping Power, Fast Track: Elementary

    The Boy Who Would be a Helicopter Textbook Analysis Student disabilities come in all shapes and sizes and is unique to each child. This is especially true with students who have social disabilities.

    The school failure hypothesis believes that school failure for adolescents with learning disabilities is an excessive step that leads to other events, such as rejection by peers or academic difficulties, and juvenile court involvement. The susceptibility hypothesis believes that adolescents with learning disabilities have cognitive, neurological, and intellectual difficulties that make them vulnerable to engage in delinquent behavior. Lastly, the differential treatment hypothesis believes that adolescents with learning disabilities are no more involved with delinquent activities that their nondisabled peers. In this particular hypothesis, the adolescents are not a fault, but rather the reaction of authority figures involved with the adolescent are to blame (Mallett 2014:148-149). As time went by, things only seemed to get worse for students in the education…

    In the general education courses I team teach in, I will have to make sure that the appropriate accommodations and assistance devices are being implemented with my students attending the special education courses. With the implementation of these accommodations and devices, my students can have a fair chance to preform on the same level as their classmates despite their disabilities. Additionally, when I start my special education classes, I will have to plan lessons that help the students make progress with their IEP goals and objectives. The grades they recieve from the work assigned in the special education course will be graded using the same grading scale for the…

    The fifth CEC initial preparation standard is about instructional planning and strategies, which, like the fourth standard, is also under the focal theme: instructional pedagogy (Council for Exceptional Children, 2012). This standard requires initial-level special education teachers to learn to adapt and use instructional strategies, technology-based or not, according to students’ abilities, interests, learning environments, cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and IEP or transition plans in order to improve students’ learning. I believe that the courses, SPED 5365 Instructional Processes with Exceptional Children and SPED 5366 Modification of Curriculum and Instruction for the Atypical Learner meet this standard.…

    Response to Intervention: Tirzah Carroll Reinhardt University Special education is no longer the sole responsibility of a special needs educator. General education teachers are now finding their classrooms operating under the inclusion philosophy, which believes that all students, regardless of type or severity of their disability, have a right to receive instruction in a general classroom (Taylor, Smiley, & Richard, 2009). In fact, general education teachers are involved in the learning disability identification process long before these students ever receive an individualized education program (IEP). Schools are now implementing a systematic approach for monitoring student progress called the Response to…

    A teacher’s goal is to maximize his or her student’s potential. Traditionally, the biggest challenge for students with disabilities was to meet their needs in the areas of social, behavioral, cognitive, perceptive and motor skills (Adebisi et al. 14). A learning disability is defined by the Schwab Foundation as a person who is diagnosed by a professional with a difficulty as a result of a CNS dysfunction in the areas or reading, writing, math, science, reasoning speaking, or listening. In order to meet the diverse needs of these students, they were traditionally removed from the mainstream classroom and placed in a separate classroom to learn. Although this was the best way to meet the students’ academic needs, their social needs were grossly…

    Special education is in every school system to help students with disabilities have success in life. According to Artiles and colleagues research, children back in the 1800s were excluded from educational opportunities (Artiles, Harris-Murri, and Rostenberg, 2006, p. 260). Children with disabilities were often segregated into either a separate classroom or separate schools with curriculum that didn’t fit their needs (Artiles, 2006, p. 260). Children were held to low standards, but fortunately that is not the way we see special education today. With the introduction of the Individual with Disabilities Education Act otherwise known in IDEA in 2004 we see more of a movement towards inclusion (Department of Education, 2004).…

    Module 3 Reflection In this paper the students were asked to reflect on what is Response To Intervention (RTI), the referral process, and eligibility for special education. According to Bryant, Bryant and Smith, for an education program to be appropriate for any student it must be individualized (Bryant, Bryant, & Smith, 2017, p. 214). All three of the above items help the educators individualize an instructional plan for each student that requires special education services. This reflection paper will cover; what RTI is, what the referral process is, and how eligibility is determined, then relate it to the school site assigned.…

    There are teachers and administrators alike who do not believe that much learning takes place in the special education classroom and that special needs students cannot possibly learn in a regular classroom. To address these concerns, school board administrators have to put in a lot of time and effort to implement a program that the staff and students are comfortable with. Teachers would also need some sort of training to better help them receive the special needs children into their classrooms. Teachers receiving special needs students in their classroom need to be included in the progress of the special needs students. This way, they can see how the student grows overtime in their classroom to get a better understanding of the impact an appropriate inclusion class can have on a special needs student.…

    Every student has experienced a time when they struggled in school, whether they had a difficult time grasping a concept, had trouble answering a question or was unsure how to study for an exam. These are common struggles that many students face when they are in elementary school, high school, college, and even graduate school. However, being the one student that encounters all those difficulties altogether, make it very challenging to achieve in school, especially when they are stigmatized for having a learning disability. Students with learning disabilities can either have a negative or positive school experience based on the attitudes and behaviors of their fellow classmates and teachers. These students often have negative school experiences…

    In such times, not only special children are affected in this system, also students without disabilities are also having conflict with their adjustments on a classroom with special children. Parents and teachers often have expressed concerns about the likely impact on students without disabilities when children with special needs are moved to the general classroom. General students/ nondisabled students have benefitted academically from a program that created an integrated classroom composed of one-third mildly disabled students and two-thirds nondisabled students. They are just suffering on the adjustments in considering their classmates with disabilities and not on their studies because they excel in…
