Students with Down Syndrome portray a better success rate when being in a normal classroom, rather than a special-Ed classroom. Most schools doubt students with Down Syndrome, so the schools put students in special-Ed classrooms. Also, the normal classroom teachers do not want to change their way of teaching to help the students with disabilities. In Paul Daugherty’s memoir An Uncomplicated Life, Daugherty and his wife are gifted with a girl, Jillian, who has Down Syndrome. Jillian is placed in normal classes after her parents fought with the school system for this decision, but some of Jillian’s teachers do not follow the demands her parents want from her teachers in order for Jillian to succeed.
The current health care system is complex and constantly changing. The health care reform have been an ongoing debate since the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid and will continue in the future of the PPACA. In addition, the implementation of the PPACA will face more challenge as it relate to laws and the economics.

ICC9K1 Personal cultural biases and differences that affect one’s teaching. - Competency 4 I am very careful to be respectful of the various cultures and differences among the students at my school, so this does not impact my teaching.

In the year 1965, Judy and her husband Ron were told that their four year old son Sean was autistic. During this time period, most people would have never heard of
This proves that it was hard for teachers and parents to understand how to help autistic kids. During the 1930s, people weren’t very educated on the topic. They
The school tested all levels in the entire district, and the Aides spent weeks doing these test around the district. Monica said she is advantage related to the other aide in the district because she stays in the Strawberry Point School the entire time, and then she have chances to talk with the classroom teachers, and share and collect information about the ELL children. She can give them extra material for the ELL students and hear from the classroom teacher what she should emphasis her lessons for specific groups. For example, the kindergarten kids that I observed are in the classroom that I used to work. I saw some extra work for the ELL students in their home folders (specific folder saying “ELL homework”).
All the parents surveyed expressed an interest in having more classes and camps that were adapted for the children. Most said that they had trouble finding group activities that their child can participate in, and that their children typically did not participate in group activities such as these for the most part because of behavioral issues associated with their diagnosis. Some parents were overwhelmed by the high level of participation their child exhibited. One child was described as having a high level of tactile defensiveness, and yet within 10 minutes of the class beginning he was hugging occupational therapy assistant students and holding their hands. His parents were amazed, even a bit shocked.

These strategies are; Accentuate the positive, Use appropriate assessment, Use concrete examples and materials, Develop and use multisensory approaches to learning, Model what children are do to, Make the learning environment a pleasant, rewarding place to be, Create a dependable classroom schedule, Encourage parents to volunteer at school ad to read to their children at home, Identify appropriate tasks children can accomplish on their own, Use cooperative learning, and develop a peer buddy system. An example of accentuate the positive would be when the teacher walked around and said to the children who weren't playing together, "Oh, we play together with our friends, do you three want to play together?"
Throughout my time at Suffolk Community College, I have done a lot of observations and many hours of student teaching between the ages 4-7 years old. So, walking into an infant classroom for an observation was a first-time thing for me. The infant room was full of a lot of wooden furniture (example: cabinets, changing table, cribs, shelves etc.) and the walls are painted an eggshell white. The instant I walked into the entrance of the room near the door, right hand side there was a kitchen, with a sink, baby formula, utensils, baby bottles and sippy cups.
I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, Briona Mcall, as your child’s new teacher in K-2 CDC special education class. I was recently hired at Holston View Elementary School as Mrs. McMurray is moving to Hong Kong to teach special education. We are excited for her and wish her the best. I earned my bachelor’s degree in Special Education from East Tennessee State University in 2015. I completed my student teaching in Bristol at Anderson Elementary and Tennessee High School
At USC Upstate all incoming freshman taking English 101 are reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time. The main character, Christopher, is an autistic teenage boy. In order to understand why Christopher thinks and acts the way he does, and relate his actions to real life, all of the PREFACE events for this year revolve around autism. The event that I chose to attend was “Understanding the Behavior of Children with Autism” because I wanted to learn what causes the behavior of autistic children. The event was held in the CLC Ballroom, capable of holding a good amount of people.
At the time, I was dumbfounded by the idea that unfamiliar faces could actually benefit someone with special needs. Mrs. Deborah, however, continues to give me the customary pitch about the program, the do’s and don’ts, what to expect, so on and so on. It’s finally time the children start arriving after we had loped and saddled the horses and I’m anxiously leaning against a red hitch post dreadfully anticipating what
Children with autism are to benefit more in such a setting, as there are ways to involve all students with the disorder with their peers to engage in quality education and feel comfortable. There are 10 simple ideas that teachers could integrate in the class so as to bring out the best in children with autism (Kluth, 2010). 1. Getting To Know The Learner Through The
JOURNAL #2 I have enjoyed reading and learning about the many intervention strategies on the Autism Internet Modules. Although I currently do not have any students with ASD, I know the information I have learned is invaluable. Last week, I did have the opportunity to work with a new female kindergarten student who will be assessed for ASD. The teacher has noticed that “KK” gets upset with her peers if she does not get her way or loses when playing a game. KK is verbal and seems to struggle with social skills.
During this time, they primarily worked on worksheets designed for the special education classroom as well as working on achieving their goals for accelerated reading. There were a few students who came in for an hour with work from their general education classroom and needed extra help completing their work. There were two students who had more severe disabilities, but they worked with paraprofessionals and did not do the same work as the rest of the class. One method of adjusting the work to meet the needs of the students that I noticed being used a lot in the classrooms I observed was cutting down the amount of work that they had to do. I
