Case: Own Story Title: Normal or Special School? Location: Bandung, Indonesia
Case:
One of my sunday school student named William was diagnosed as an autistic kid. It was hard for me to make him stop talking or moving. He was very active and hard to concentrate during sunday school. Sometimes he can stay quietly but after 10 minutes or so, he will start moving again. He was a 6 grader in one of the most famous Christian primary school in Bandung, Indonesia. He can communicate with others but it is hard to understand his behaviour. If I scolded him, he would

Because in a special school, there are many other students who are have the same disabilities like William so it i will be easier or William to be friend with them.
If William study at home and Mrs. Linda call a private teacher to teach him, it will be easier for the teacher to deal with William’s behaviour and there will be no distraction from other people when William is studying but William will not learn how to socialize with others and overcome his disabilities.
Step 5: Brainstorm immediate-term responses.
Let William to chose which school he wants to attend.
Mrs. Linda can observe William’s behaviour at the current school whether he can follow the other students or not.
Give a try out for William. Put him in an environment with kids with similar disabilities and see what is his reaction.
Step 6: Brainstorm longer-term policy and practice adjustments.
Let William continue his study in his current school but give his teachers an Individual Education Programme (IEP)
Do not send William to neither schools. William can study at home by calling a private teachers.
Step 7: Craft a plan of
If William receives more input and positive feedback he will have more positive outputs i.e. better grades, improved interactions with peers. William seems to be headed towards entropy since he is doing worse in school and his interactions with his peers are shaky. I would provide William and his family with financial and emotional resources and I would see if William is interested in being involved with the community or if his family is religious so William can feel more growth and development and does not feel as stuck in his
Some people argue special education segregates the students. Having access to educational services isn’t enough. There are different views on the implication of special education, but emphasizing individual educational benefits for all students is a worthy
Autism in psychology is a mental condition characterized by great difficulty in communicating with others and in using language and abstract concepts (Fredericks, 2008). The book “There’s a boy in here” the author is Judy Barron and Sean Barron. It recounts a strange point by a mother and her son, passing the painful years the son underwent through the painful years and the son suffered from autism and his remarkable convalesce. Ron and Judy were a young couple that gave birth to a son who had very different emotional needs. Rob and Judy Barron’s first born child was autistic.
We communicate daily with *Jacks mother through a home/school diary. At the beginning of each new term the class teacher, along with members of the SLT and *Jacks mother come up with new targets for his IEP (individual Education Plan). (Book 1 ST8 2.2) Our school likes to follow the saying: “It is every child’s right to be heard, listened to and taken seriously and to be consulted. ’’

Also, other students would not have opportunity to have a friendships different from those that they already have. Special needs students should be working towards the same academic standards as social goals students of their same age yet with instructional supports and accommodations and modifications as needed (p. 1 IRIS). Excluding them from the general education classrooms could also make it so the students is less likely to perform well on assessments because they have had significantly less exposure to its
Social interaction problems arise when persons with autism find it very difficult to mingle. Problems associated with interaction include finding it difficult to establish and maintain friendship, lack of interest in people, withdrawing oneself from other people, not paying attention in anything, being distant, and difficulty in expressing one’s feelings and emotions. Social imagination is being able to understand a person’s behavior, thoughts, feelings, and a person’s creativity. People with autism find it hard in imagination due to problem such as general imagination difficulty, trouble in comprehension of future events, challenge in shifting to new and unfamiliar situations, and finding it difficult to understand other person’s feelings, actions, and thoughts. Autism in the Inclusive Classroom Inclusive classroom entails bringing of students with and without disabilities together in school to access education in a general class.
Informative Speech Preparation Outline I. INTRODUCTION A. Gain the audience’s attention: Koch states in the article Special Education in 2000 that 1.7 million disabled children were not able to attend public schools until IDEA, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, was implemented (Koch, 2000). Transition to Thesis: A high school diploma is necessary in todays life, but many students with special needs are still facing challenges to receive theirs. B. Thesis: The environment where a student is taught has a major impact on their general education, their future educational experiences, and the likelihood of graduating and continuing their education. C. Credibility Statement: After extensive research on special education and background knowledge from a Children with Exceptionalities class, I have gained the knowledge and information to inform you of the impacts of teaching special education inside of the general education classroom.
I have completed my project of observes/participate in 15 hours and 12 minutes at Arts’ N Autism. Arts’ N Autism practicum setting of the sprout room is a room upstairs in the center ages from 4 to 8 who are after school children with Autism. The sprout room is big enough for all seven of the children. Each child has a basket holder located on the right side of the classroom from their personal items such as their pants, pull-ups, and toys. There are two computers located on the classroom desk.
The first observation was conducted on August 30th at 9:00 a.m., while the student was participating in the special education resource room. The observation took place for a total of 25 minutes. For the duration of the observation the student was seated at a small table working one-on-one with the special education teacher. Along with the student being observed and the special education teacher, two other students, as well as, two paraprofessionals were in the special education resource room during the observation time. One student and paraprofessional were working one-on-one at a small table, while the other student was sitting in a bean bag chair reading a book.
The transition from primary to post-primary education is one of the most drastic of those changes, and schools need to be equipped to accommodate that transition. For special educational needs, many steps need to be taken in order to familiarize both parties with the conditions they live with and how success can be met. In order for students to feel comfortable and make the transition as smooth as possible, there are many things that schools can do to ensure this success. In order for special education pupils to succeed, schools need to create inclusion in the classrooms and with peers, so that SEN pupils can interact with other students and experience real world classroom time. For students with disabilities, schools need to take some necessary steps in order for a beneficial transition to take place.
Classroom Observation Reflection Abrar Hilal University of Oklahoma Tuesday, February 12 Classroom Observation Reflection Special Education Classroom Report The special education classroom that I observed, included the main teacher, two teacher assistants, and ten students with Developmental Delays. The main teacher uses technology to aid the students to learn easy and faster. A smart board is present in the classroom, but the teacher doesn 't use it often as she prefers to use her own handouts and her specially created activities. I think this is effective as she can modify activities better and so that the students benefit from that personalized touch.
Thus, they will achieve higher grades. Moreover, they will be greatly engaged in the society as they are building bridges with their peers from several backgrounds. On the long run, teachers, parents, and the society as a whole would develop. Students with learning disabilities should be included in the “normal” classroom because it improves their academic performance, social behavior, and communication language. One reason why students with learning disabilities should be in the normal classroom is that inclusion improves their academic performance.
Teachers may profit from having a varied population of students as teachers get a chance to improve their teaching skills and ability to distinguish lessons and activities when such different children are in their class. Regular teachers need to work closely with other teachers and specialists to meet the needs of diverse children, thus enhancing their collaboration skills. It also allows to develop an awareness and appreciation of students’ individual difference (National Center on Inclusive Education 2001). Besides, children with disabilities can motivate regular teachers to be more imaginative with their teaching methods, skills and come up with up-to-date methods of delivering lesson that fits all learners. Regular teachers may realize that all pupils have potencies, which can be useful and vital to their entire classroom, and these potencies can be fostered to produce a profound school experience (Kinza 2008).
However, having school choice is crucial for students who cannot learn and thrive in the curriculum or the teaching styles of their school systems. School choice has the potential to raise test scores and grades of low performing students
