Special Education

complete my annual IEP requirement for EDUC-614. Kimika was a 9 year old girl with moderate intellectual disabilities, a seizure disorder and a gross motor impairment. Kimika had been receiving special education in the early childhood special education program since she was three years old due to her education deficits and gross motor impairment. At that time, she was found to have significant language, academic and motor delays. The case study reported that during preschool she made slow…

I believe students receive much more than just an education from being in general Ed classroom. They learn social skills, benefit from a variety of different teaching strategies, and can also build their self-confidence. I also believe there are some that are unable to adapt in a general education classroom and it hold them back from their education. I have worked in both self-contained and regular classrooms. I have also seen students at grade level be put into general Ed classes and not able…

Since the introduction of CTE programs, the special needs education has grown immensely (Barry & Leather, 2012). There has been a diversification of career programs such as information technology, biotechnology, hospitality, engineering among others, giving the students an opportunity to join different fields of expertise (Barry & Leather, 2012). As a substitute teacher, one of the challenges special education face is the equality of resources in CTE teaching and learning. One…

Throughout this entire book I enjoyed how the writers made everything so simplified. Being a special education teacher is not easy. Adding a ton of acronyms to that makes it even worse. It was nice to get the basics in a way that helped me understand what it was talking about. With this book and through my work with students who have special needs, it made me feel a lot more confident about knowing how to help these students. The first thing in the book that I remember relating to was about a…

Children with disabilities haven 't always had the chance to get a proper education. Change for children with disabilities didn 't begin until around 1950. Some of the most notable changes have been changes within disability for students and disability services, as well as the right to education. There has also been many different plans and ideas put in place to solidify what to do with any type of special needs student. Students and children with disabilities have commonly been segregated and…

parameters of the new nation. Hence, the government along with the educational institutions can plan for the new programs. The special educational services should consist of experts that have a wide knowledge on reading assessment and instructions. The experts can further collaborate with other professionals to develop interesting and effective reading intervention programs. Principals of all the schools need to lead the team of all these members from the front and facilitate all sorts of…

The special population I have selected is special education. Often behavior analyst need to collaborate with other professionals. There are some unique ethical guidelines that need to be addressed and followed when implementing a behavior intervention with special education clients/students. It may be necessary to have multidiscipline team. Multidiscipline teams can consist of parents, behavior analyst, social worker, speech/occupational therapist. Furthermore, there needs to be considerations…

Attitude, Legislation, and Litigation Imagine, somehow being transported back to the early 1900’s and given a glimpse into the education process, and day to day learning, of a disabled student. Students considered to have developmental disabilities, learning disabilities, or behavioral issues, were often denied access to a quality education, and there was very little infrastructure in place to educate these students. In fact, in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s people with disabilities were…

going through. From my experience, I know students with disabilities who may be required to be in the least restrictive environment (general education setting) who I must teach. I think the socio-emotional approach promotes strong and positive student and teacher relationships, as well as empathic understanding which is good for both ELL and Special Education students in order to understand how they feel and the things in life they want to accomplish. Some of these students may go through…
