Welcome To Holland Analysis

My feelings on reading the story
I can only feel strong emotions and sympathize with the parent when reading “Welcome to Holland” by Emily Perl Kingsley because parents go through a series of emotions from shock to acceptance in raising a child with a disability. First a parent’s plan for their child’s future is changed because of learning their child has a disability. Next, they have to learn strategies to help their child. This story reminded me of my two years old student struggled in class immensely. When I spoke to his father, who sadly agreed his child needed help. He blamed himself as he said, “Am I the reason my child being this way?”As a teacher, my role was to discuss about his child’s strengths and supports he needed. Therefore the child received services which …show more content…

He would also be protected under the Individuals with Disabilities Education (IDEA). He would also have qualified teachers such as Kirk (2009) states “IDEA 2004 (PL 108-446) also included various changes in the law. These changes address the quality of personnel: special education specialists must hold full state certification as special education teachers and have a license to teach.” This means that he would have qualified teachers who can teach high quality education to meet Aaron’s needs. Aaron’s parents would also benefit in the rights such as the IDEA Amendments of 1997. Dunlap (2009) states. “The amendments strengthened parent’s right to be involved in educational decisions affecting their children, adopted a more outcome-based approach to assessment, and clarified that schools must educate children with disabilities in general education classrooms, the LRE.” (p.10). This means there would be more educational opportunities for Aaron to help him increase his educational

Doe Vs Kroger Case Study

155 Words | 1 Pages

In Doe v. Koger, a student with intellectual disabilities was expelled based on disciplinary issues. The school denied the student a due-process hearing for students with disabilities. When the family took the school district to court, it was ruled that before changing the placement of a student with disabilities through long term suspension or expulsion, a hearing must be held to determine whether the child’s inappropriate behavior was a result, or manifestation of his/her disability. Doe v. Kroger was a monumental court case in the history of special education because it determined that students with disabilities can in fact be suspended or expelled as a disciplinary measure, but only after a manifestation determination has taken place

Retrieved from http://www.wrightslaw.com/law/caselaw/ussupct.rowley.htm A Free Appropriate Public Education means that the child with a disability will receive the same education as a child without disability. The school district did not like the decision from the district court, so they appealed the case to the United States Courts of Appeal. However, the school district would go on to loose their appeal because the United States Court of Appeal affirmed the decision of the district court. They too said that without the sign language interpreter in the classroom, Amy can only learn half of what the other students are able to learn due to her being death. She does not have an equal chance to learn like the other students, so she is not receiving a free appropriate public education.

Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit affirmed (Imber, p. 316, 1993). Justice William H. Rehnquist delivered the opinion of the court, in a 6-3 decision, reversing the lower court decisions. The Supreme Court held that the Act does not require a school to provide a sign language interpreter to a deaf student when she is otherwise receiving personalized instruction and an adequate education. School administrations are allowed to determine what is required to meet students’ individual needs with a disability. Justice Harry A. Blackmun wrote a special concurrence, expressing that no interpreter was required because Amy was given the opportunity to learn and participate in the classroom in a way that was substantially equal to her non-handicapped classmates.

Nclb Act Pros And Cons

247 Words | 1 Pages

Although the NCLB Act implemented in 2001 has shown great efforts for trying to ensure the equality for all students, it does not successfully provide effective achievement for minorities, underprivileged kids, or students with disabilities across the nation. Implementers of the NCLB Act should create a more personalized version to accommodate children with certain disabilities in addition to the regular version of the act. The NCLB Act that was created in 2001 ensures that regular children capable of learning like the average student get the appropriate service to react to the government’s state academic assessments, but those who require special accommodations although have been successful enough to improve test scores, still are not meeting

My Christ In Dutchman Analysis

1209 Words | 5 Pages

In an article called "My Christ in Dutchman", George Adams argues that Lula, the white female protagonist of the play, is a modern Eve who offers Clay, a middle class Negro and the new Adam, both concrete "apples" and symbolic fruit "her body and self-knowledge" in an attempt to draw him away from Eden, "America". According to this view, Clay accepts both gifts and reveals knowledge of the forbidden truth which is his real black self. In doing so, Clay oversteps the limits of a racial society through showing his real self (which is threatening to white America), thus, he is dismissed out of Eden. Adams also argues that the black young man who appears in the subway car by the end of the play "will rise as a black messiah, to redeem both

It becomes the blueprint for the student’s education for the current school year.” I think looking at the IEP in this light is so incredibly important.
