1006 Words5 Pages

Case Study Jane is a first grader and is seven years old. School personnel have academic concerns about Jane. Jane spent two years as a preschooler. Her preschool teachers felt that she was delayed in meeting developmental milestones in her first year of preschool and recommended that she attend a second year of preschool. After two years of preschool Jane became a Kindergartener. During Kindergarten, school personnel believed that Jane was still struggling to meet grade level expectations. Jane struggled with rhyming, learning basic letters and sounds, and also with grade level expectations in math. Beyond her academic background, Jane was born premature and was 2 pounds at birth. She also has astigmatism. Lastly, both of Jane’s …show more content…

Due to the information presented Jane was referred to the response to intervention program at the beginning of Kindergarten and early intervention was initiated. It is also important to look at and analyzes Jane’s standardized test scores. Jane’s IQ was evaluated in August of 2015 using the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children 5th edition. Jane has a full scale IQ of 76 and she falls in the 5th percentile compared to children of the same age. School personnel were concerned about her working memory score of 65 and her processing speed score of 60. Jane’s composite score of 76 falls in the very low range of cognitive functioning compared to students of the same age. Jane also took the Kaufman Test of Educational Achievement 3rd edition. Jane had a composite standard score of 51 on the reading portion of this assessment. This placed her in the very low range in comparison to other students her age. Jane’s math composite score was 61, which placed her in the low range compared to students her age. School personnel also used iReady to monitor progress Jane made throughout the year. Jane began on an emerging kindergarten level after receiving a score in math of 338 and at the end of the year had a score of …show more content…

I believe that I could meet with Jane individually to work on skills to help build self-esteem and self-confidence. I believe it would be beneficial to spend time individually working with Jane discussing learning disabilities and also contest any of the negative labels that could potentially arise for individuals that are identified with a learning disability. Lastly, I believe that I could come up with creative ways to work with Jane on her working memory and processing speed. I believe that we could utilize puzzles, card games, and computerized educational games to work on skills that will aide in her academic success. When considering collaboration that has taken place already I believe that the school has done a good job collaborating with both internal and external resources. If I was in this situation personally I may recommend greater collaboration with the parents to discuss learning disabilities and ways that they can best help Jane at home to set her up for greater academic success. Also, I believe that Jane could benefit from more collaboration between the occupational therapist and her parents to provide tools to help them support Jane and her learning at home. Overall, I believe that the school is doing a good job with early identification and helping set Jane up to have better academic success in the

Brenda Dyck Summary

156 Words | 1 Pages

My thoughts about Brenda Dyck article are of appreciation for all the wonderful suggestions she proposes to unfold children’s talents. I believe that with these two ways to evaluate, the Multiple Intelligence survey, and the Learning-Style Preference Questionnaire, children will build self-esteem and motivation to do better at school and in life. Students will understand that everyone is different and we all need to be more respectful and less judgmental of each other. More valuable as an evaluation is that teachers may capture a solution to a behavioral issue that will benefit the class atmosphere. Brenda Dyck promotes compassion towards all the children, without looking at the disability itself, but at the child abilities.
