Case Study: ATLAS

One example of a modification or accommodation in a general based classroom would be preferential seating. In one identified video in ATLAS (Case #94), a science teacher had three IEP students in his classroom. Each of these students are considered fragile learners, so they had to receive preferential seating for them to stay engaged in his classroom. This helped them understand the lessons and to not get easily distracted. I also noticed that the classroom had a teacher aide to give extra support for the IEP students. In another identified video in ATLAS (Case #666), a language arts teacher has a child in her classroom who has a hard time assessing listening and speaking because he has a selective mute. This gives him a hard time in completing

To summarize At’s such as captions, visual aids, and captions, allow students who are hearing impaired or death a chance to interact with text and function as independently as possible. With Hannah, who is 5 years old, i suggest that her teacher Ms.Martha start using closed captions when she shows the class videos and consider investing or requesting a FM system that best fits Hannah needs.

Hannah was encouraged to ask questions before and try to follow as best she could on her own.

Even with cochlear implants, I often times unconsciously rely heavily on lip reading when talking to a person. Throughout middle school and high school, I found myself explaining over and over about lip reading and how I depend on it to help me. I wasn't sure if the teachers or students understood but I was proven wrong when I went on my Schlitterbahn senior trip. Because of the water, I could not wear my implants and this meant I would have to depend heavily on lip reading.

Also, other students would not have opportunity to have a friendships different from those that they already have. Special needs students should be working towards the same academic standards as social goals students of their same age yet with instructional supports and accommodations and modifications as needed (p. 1 IRIS).

In the novel Seeing Voices (1989), Oliver Sacks digs into the exploration of American Sign Language and the culture of Deaf people. Sacks studies the complex ways and effect in which language is used to impact the cognitive part of the brain. The Deaf community is very different from the hearing impaired because the community has had its challenges, language, and history. Denied the opportunity to take in a language, a child will grow up uneducated with no means of understanding and in no way have the ability to communicate with another person. With that being said deaf people in past were not "dumb" or uneducated in fact it was never their fault they were like that, but it was because they never had the chance of being taught a language.

In the Atlas Week presentation given on eating disorders and malnutrition titled “Healthy Body, Healthy Mind” was able to explain how the issue of malnutrition is both a local and global issue that can negatively affect the minds and bodies and individuals who experience it on a day to day basis. One point of the talk, given by members of the SLU Lions club, which I thought related to discussions in class on socioeconomic status and health outcomes, was how malnutrition is related to poverty. Also, the points made regarding how the issue of malnutrition has been exploited by some to gain control made me think of the discussions in class about how there can be power imbalances between “those with” and “those without”. In addition, the link between

At the age of six, Mariah presents a bilateral, mild, sloping to moderate-severe, sensorineural hearing loss.

Comfortable Classes By creating cool classes for students with disabilities, schools will be the second home to children with such deficiencies. An environment that is conducive for normal students may not be so for their counterparts with disabilities. A teacher can set a classroom so that it can accommodate everyone, especially children with autism. Children with autism are the most prepared to learn when their learning environment is conducive for them (Kluth, 2010).

Conclusion After spending some time in both the general and special educational classrooms, I found there were similarities and differences between the two for example special needs students received more personalised care than their counterparts in both classrooms. A difference was that the special educational classroom was perhaps more effective at the students developing to their full potential whereas the general classroom would teach them better social and communication skills. In short, they are both great environments for the students to be in despite the differences.

I spent my fifteen hours observing two special education classrooms at Sulphur Intermediate School. One focused on math and the other on reading, though many of the children I observed worked in both classrooms. The students were in the third, fourth, and fifth grades. Most of the students had mild to moderate disabilities and simply needed extra help in reading, math, or both subjects. They did not stay for the entire day, but rather came for certain periods.

Separation in a classroom is an idea that is more practical in terms of meeting a students needs. Specific cases determine the usage of separation and if it is needed for the student if they have unique difficulties that require one on one or individualized attention. In a perfect society, inclusion would seem to be the answer for special education because the students can learn from their peers and receive outside perspectives and ideas from classmates. For normal students, this is beneficial, but for a student that is far behind in material and understanding a personalized lesson plan is what is going to be the most profitable method. It does not mean that the school or teacher is restricting their socialization or rights, in actuality they are benefitting the education the student is receiving.

In regular education classrooms the majority of the time students receive whole-group instructions. Their methods of instructions consist in lectures, discussions, case studies, writing, group projects, public reviews, and independent student projects. In contrast, different instructional techniques are used for some students with special educational needs. Instructional strategies are classified as being either accommodations or modifications. An accommodation is a reasonable adjustment to teaching practices so that the student learns the same material, but in a format that is more accessible to the student.
