Good Evening Salina,

Thank you for your post and sharing your thoughts on this DQ. I especially enjoyed reading your personal experience as a paraprofessional and your work with special needs students. Although I am not in the classroom, I do work on a daily basis with special needs individuals as an advocate and team leader. This entails with work with adults of all ages with all types and levels of developmental disabilities. Many of my clients have EBDs. Your comments “I have 3 kids that I attend to in school. Every day it seems as though screaming at them helps but not for long. Prior to reading this article I began to keep them active and allow them to talk about their needs and wants.” made me think of how some of my younger inexperienced

    The Short Bus, written in in 2007 by Jonathan Mooney, is a story about Jonathan’s journey through the United States one summer, in a short bus. Jonathan, who was labeled as Learning Disabled in school, talks about his experiences with dyslexia and attention problems throughout his schooling experience, and recalls the short bus, used for students with disabilities, and is set out to change the meaning of the “short bus”. Jonathan states that to him, most of his life, the short bus he would see coming down the road was “the symbol of disability and pain” (Mooney, 2007, p.6) in his life. One of his main goals during this journey is to reinvent the word “normal”.…

    After reading the Panacek & Duncan (2003) article, I felt sad. I never thought about the importance of friendships. The authors talked about how friendships are not random and how proximity and similarity play a large role. For those with EBD placed in self-contained classrooms, they are only exposed to other students with EBD and that student population is small. After learning about multitier instruction and how students have the ability to move up or down tiers, I was shocked to read that students with EBD usually do not return to general education classes, once placed into special education.…

    Dibs, a six-year old boy with an I.Q. of 168, is lost in his own world with very little communication, playing or interacting with others. A child deemed mentally retarded by his well to-do parents are not sure how to deal with him. His parents are embarrassed of him and put the blame on him for their career and marital problems. Dibs was sent to an expensive private school and spent almost two years keeping to himself, not playing or talking to other children, being aggressive, and doing his own thing. This prompted his teachers to reach out to a specialist to intervene.…

    The screamfree.com website offers advice on how to respond to almost any type of situation as opposed to reacting (Runkel, 2017). Strangely enough, the straightforward message on how “peace begins with a pause,” specifically hit home (Runkel, 2017). Moreover, it brought memories to mind that most of my thirties were spent attempting to find solutions to obstacles by springing into action without thought to the consequences. Although, fortunately, during my early forties I was blessed with receiving parenting classes that taught the value in taking the time to consider the details before giving a commitment to the many questions that children might ask. Accordingly, the screamfree.com website and the parenting classes coincide closely with communication in the workplace.…

    Throughout the introduction and break-out groups, Dr. Bremer did an amazing job explaining various aspects of teaching and assisting special needs students, including the ethical dealings that have occurred. In 2004, the IDEA was created to ensure the same opportunities and fairness was forwarded to those students who are a part of the special needs classification. This made it possible for these students to be a part of regular classrooms in order to further their learning experience and, hopefully, prepare them for the future. Due to this, it is even more vital for teachers to create a safe learning environment for their students. It is imperative that these students receive the help they so dearly need; therefore, it makes sense that…

    Through this presentation I learned a lot. I learned that about “Spread the Word, to End the Word.” I never heard about that movement before and being able to have somebody in our group that has participated in it was very interesting. I have heard about person first word before, but sometimes I realized during this presentation that I wasn’t using it. I would identify the disability and not the person.…

    How To Write Ieps

    Wednesday’s class helped to develop my understanding of how to write IEPs. Previously, there were many concepts on the students’ IEPs that baffled me until last class. More than five of my students last year had IEPs that noted that they only need 30% mastery to pass. I was outraged with all the teachers and staffs that compiled IEPs that were basically setting my students up for failure. So, once I read the ludicrous expectations that the IEPs were putting on my capable students, I didn’t see my students’ IEPs as a tool to aid me in the classroom.…

    Student Iep Reflection

    As a general educator, I have the privilege of teaching one student with an IEP. His conduct and difficulty staying on task is what mostly interferes with his learning. He gets frustrated at times when given an unfamiliar task he isn’t able to independently complete. Because of this, I make it a priority to continuously monitor his progress on classwork and to provide him with affirmation when he’s putting in significant effort, and redirection when he is off task. Although I have learned to ignore certain behaviors from this scholar (calling out), I have provided him with an individual behavior plan so that he knows I am still holding him responsible for certain actions (such as hitting another student).…

    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…

    Music and art are tools that can become a huge impact in a disabled child’s life when they are incorporated in the child’s everyday activities during their development as a child. The use of sound or auditory hearings as well as artistic assignments can be very helpful in order for the child to become more connected with the world through interaction with others. These children gain many new skills that assist them in being more united with others around them. Even though the utilization of art and music can be very helpful when it is incorporated in a disabled child’s life, it can also become a huge distraction. Many studies have shown that children with disabilities are capable of overcoming their disability and being able to connect with…

    Next,(section B) prior to my observation experience at the Arkadelphia human development center I would often ask myself why we had to do this observation work.
