Importance Of Cognitive Disability In Education

I learned a lot from this OIR that will affect my future teaching career expectantly in a good approach. I learned that some children develop slower than others and some develop quicker. Seeing that some children need a little extra help (guidance in interacting with others and understanding/following directions) and some children don’t shows that when I’m a teacher, I’m going to have to accommodate to these children’s needs as much as possible. All children achieve milestones at different times in their lives. I also learned that some children need more time than others to develop cognitively. After completing this assignment, I’ve learned several ways to acclimate to the children and help them succeed to the best of their abilities by helping …show more content…

I want to focus on how she interconnects with this child through emotional and physical replies along with behavioral styles including reactions to the environment. Also, I would like to observe my focus child during a one-on-one session with the lead teacher to see how she responds to this type of learning and see how well she understands/follows directions. I will definitely look for not only communication and language skills and social and emotional development in my focus child, but also cognitive development in my next observation to find out if she is improving on any aspect. Overall, I think this OIR is of value to me because it will support me in my future teaching career. I will use it to convey information to other students in the future to see how they are developing with their cognitive skills. I will definitely look back on this in the future to see how/if my focus child has improved on her cognitive development and relate it to the children with cognitive disabilities. I believe this OIR is of great use to me in my teaching
