Module 2: Diagnosis and Characteristics of Students with Disabilities
Disability / Learning Need; Acronyms:
The acronym given for Developmental Delay by the IDEA is “DD”. The IDEA goes onto to identify this disability as a “Child with a disability… aged three through nine.. who is experiencing developmental delays as defined by the State and as measured by appropriate diagnostic instruments and procedures in one or more of the following areas: Physical development, cognitive development, communication development, social or emotional development, or adaptive development; and … thereof, needs special education and related services. [34 CFR §300.8(b)]” (parentcenterhub).
Characteristics:
Because there are so many different characteristics and symptoms of developmental delay in children, I have decided to break it down into several general aspects of development that are affected by this disability.

BrightHubEducation outlines things to take into consideration such as: IEP goals for preschool aged children, stages of puberty for children who face developmental delay, and how to work with children who have been neglected due to developmental delay (brighthubeducation.com). It is important to also understand that students who deal with developmental delay, will not function the same and as efficiently as a normal child would. Keeping that in mind, teachers will want to adjust they’re pace of teaching towards students who deal with DD according to their specific delay – whether it be physical, cognitive, or

SPED Shadow Study/Developmental Stages Learning to function independently plays an important role in what a child with special needs is able to learn. Every child is different and may develop at a different pace however, it is important that the child goes through the stages as part of the treatment process. A few of the developmental milestones for a fourth grade student are gaining interest in spending time with friends, the need for independence, and the beginning of puberty. Also, their handwriting and the ability to use tools improve, they form stronger and more complex friendships, and they become insecure. The student who I chose to observe is a special education student but attends most of his classes in a regular classroom.

In “Using Survival Analysis to Understand Graduation of Students with Disabilities,” Laura A. Schifter, states that as of 2011, 61.1 percent of students with disabilities are enrolled in general education courses.

The publication “The State of Learning Disabilities: Facts, Trends and Emerging Issues,” by the National Center for Learning Disabilities, mentions how even though the percentage rates of in class inclusion may be high there continues to be little improvement when it comes to writing, reading, and math. Just like Jinhee these students do not receive the proper accommodations they need which results in the lack of improvement

Students with disabilities are often viewed from a negative perspective and segregated from the society that their nondisabled peers live in. These students are victims of segregation just because they do not “fit the cookie cutter.” As previously discussed, students with disabilities have higher dropout rates, underemployment, and unemployment. Basically, if they are different, society is less tolerable towards them and does not take a positive approach towards dealing with these individuals. Chapter 4 gave an interesting example of the socioemotional toll special education can take on children.

Prior to the mid-1970s, students with disabilities of any kind (mental health problems included) were inadequately served or overtly excluded from public education (Martin, Martin, & Terman, 1996). Students with severe physical or emotional disabilities were simply not allowed to attend school. In 1970, PL 91 -230, or the Education of the Handicapped Act (EHA), was passed marking the first law that exclusively addressed students with disabilities. Under the EHA, grants were offered to institutions to develop programs to train teachers who could teach students with disabilities (Martin, Martin, & Terman, 1996).

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.
