Recommended: Education for children with disabilities

I enjoyed going to the Center for Disabilities because it provided me with greater insight to tone and movement that is atypical looking. Feeling the difference between tone and muscle tightness was a great educational experience and the biggest thing I took away from being at the Center for Disabilities. The therapists I worked with were great in allowing me participate in transfers and treatment sessions. They both pointed out things that I would have not noticed on my own and allowed me handle the children in different positions on wedges, mats and therapy balls. Handling the children was what I was most hesitant on. It’s easy to sit in a classroom and learn positioning, but when you get the chance for hands on it’s a little nerve racking. …show more content…

I have yet to understand why this is, however the fact that I realize it about myself I think will make me a better clinician. I felt this way with a young 12-year-old boy who is hyposensitive and needed a lot of sensory input. At first I was a little overwhelmed because He was grabbing my hands a lot and during a sit to stand he tried to grab my neck. This was after he had his hands in his mouth. I composed myself and tried to remember that he was seeking sensory input. With this in mind I ask the therapist if she had ways of calming him down prior to sending him back to the classroom. She told me that he really enjoys when you bang your hands against his chest. It was amazing to see what a few bangs on the chest did for the child. With this same child the therapist asked if I wanted to get him a toy to play with in the closet. I choose a whirly tube from the toy closet, which made a fun sound when you pulled it apart. He loved it the activity. For me it was a great opportunity to see BUE use at midline, because he had to pull the tube apart to hear the noise and feel the vibration, and then push it back together in order to do it

Goal: Braydon often refuses to follow or comply with requests and rules, even when reasonable. He will clearly lessen the frequency of passive-aggressive behaviors as evidenced by conveying anger and frustration through controlled, respectful, and direct statements and no more than three disciplinary referrals during the Second Nine Weeks. Intervention: MHP taught Braydon how to identify negative, hostile, and defiant behaviors, and develop new ways to reframe these behaviors in more pro-social terms. MHP taught his grandmother how to change her predictable response to reestablish control in positive, but creative ways.

His teacher described him as a likable and friendly youngster who always obeyed when spoken to but also repeatedly disrupted the class by his antics and could no longer be tolerated in the classroom. The teacher reported that he hummed and make noises under his breath, blurted out answers without raising his hand, and always tried to be first when the teacher asked a question, even though he often did not have the answer when called upon.

It is really useful to ask concept checking questions after giving instructions to ensure that everyone understands, and then if necessary, repeat the instructions in a different way. Children just like adults, have good and bad days. Sometimes, a problem at home that you aren’t aware of can cause children to be withdrawn and moody. We should be considerate to how they feel and try to understand why they are acting in a certain way. We can show we care and respect their feelings by giving them space to come to terms with their emotions and

Last summer, I volunteered as a Youth Teaching Assistant at the National Smithsonian where I taught about twenty kids from around the world how to make their own pinhole cameras and develop their photos in the darkroom. Although it was a temporary and unpaid position, in many ways I consider this to be my first real job. I had to fill out an application, be interviewed over the phone, and attend a training session. During the week long class, I got up early every morning to begin my commute by metro to DC.

As teachers, after spending a few hours with your class, it’s easy for you to tell which teaching method works best for your students – whether it’s auditory, kinesthetic, or visual. Perhaps the most difficult students to work with, however, are active (kinesthetic) learners. They’re the ones shaking their legs, tapping their pencils on the desk when everyone's reading and fidgeting. At first, they might appear to be disruptive but the reality is, they simply learn by movement not by sitting. In other words, their body’s need to be in motion in order for them to understand what’s being taught.

As children’s experiences and knowledge are often communicated through play, it becomes an important vehicle for them to know and accept themselves and others. One of the most common types of play therapy for children is child-based therapy, in which a therapist and a child work alone. This is often used if there is a concern about the parents or abuse in the family, but can also be done simply to make the child feel more comfortable. It can be used to treat behavioural problems, anxiety, Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), autism, and the effects of abuse.

There are five stages of behavioral assessment, which includes Screening, defining, and quantifying problems, finding the target behavior for treatment, monitoring progress and conducting a follow up (Cooper, Heron, & Heward, 2007). I would have the teacher record the behavior as it occurs. This particular observation will record the frequency of how many times the behavior occurs, duration of time the behavior will last, the intensity of the amount of force that is behind the physical behaviors and the latency of when the behavior occurred after the stimulus is given. A Functional Behavioral Assessment gathers information about why William’s behavior occurs. The best person to record the information will be the teacher.

Every moment is a memorable part of the journey of life. I have always appreciated the value of giving to others because I believe that just being able to lend a hand to others, no matter how trivial it may be, is what makes life worth living. However, my desire to help people started when I began working with children as a teacher’s assistant. It would instill in me a lesson that I would never forget.

This belief could not be further from the truth. It is proven by Larzelere et. al (2010) that calmer tactics such as explaining what they did was wrong, grounding them and putting them in timeout are much more effective in changing the child’s behavior. The Social Work Research published multiple studies conducted by Vuchinich et. al (1992), Straus (1997), Strassberg et.
