It is difficult to understand Ruvy, for his words are not segmented properly and the main idea is not clearly expressed. In age appropriate activities like greeting others, expressive language, articulation, expressive/ receptive language and receptive language areas. This difficulty limits Ruvy in social development. As a cause of this frustration he will engage in weird behaviors such as making noises and mumbling to himself in front of a mirror. When involved in a small group activity that he can do, Ruvy enjoys it and is able to complete the task.
Accommodations or Modifications: Ruvy requires a Seit for 10 hrs a week, PT 3x30, OT 3x30 and speech for 3x30. Ruvy requires structured day that has designated times for open-ended activities. This give Ruvy the structure he need but fosters the ability to play/ do open-ended activities. Ruvy can fully participate in a general education classroom with proper support. Ruvy is a tactile/kinesthetic learner and requires to be taught through this.

Ruvy 's mother had a a positive encounter with the CSE, and was impressed with the thorough testing and their conclusion. She related that they saw issues which passed her by and that are important to her sons development.
Special Education Program As stated above, Ruvy is in a general ed classroom. The ratio of adults to children is 2:18, and it services regular children and children who can function in a general ed classroom with services. There are nine children in the class whom receive services, ranging from Seits to OT, PT and speech. The classroom runs on Pre-K curriculum and the Common Core method.
Personal Reflections: I witnessed the deep respect that Ruvy has for his Seit and that his Seit has in Ruvy. He showed eagerness in listening to her, and took to heart what she taught and said. Its amazing how the right adult supervision can turn a child onto a path of education and correct social skills. It was interesting to read Ruvy 's IEP and then to see the child in action. Ruvy is a wonderful child and has a lot to offer to others, the class and

When looking at her school work and from the information that was previously gathered from sessions with Hailey, it was important to assess her as an oral reader, silent reader, writer, word solver, problem solver, and her comprehension. Using a variety of assessments and taking the new information and planning to help Hailey be more successful was important. Also, looking at how Hailey performs across academic areas was another clue to help her be a better student. To have a better picture of Hailey, she brought her academic folders with her to review some of her class work and writing responses, almost like a work portfolio. Hailey made it clear that Science and Math can be more difficult for her than other
The IEP team considered not to select “Regular” or “Resource” as the level educational placement, but rejected the “Resource” educational placement as it was determined that a “Regular” level of educational placement was the least restrictive amount of time needed to accomplish the established goals. In addition to, the team considered not to take in consideration the frequency of services {45 mins 5 days per week for reading intervention to be served in the EC classroom and 2 days per week in the Reg Ed classroom for ELA support} but rejected this option as well to serve Dylan in the least restricted environment possible. No issues to warrant Extended School Year at this time due not enough time has laps in order to determine whether Dylan’s ability to maintain skills over an extended period of time has been adequately
For this outcome I chose the CE 240 Unit 6 assigment. With this artifact a demonstrate my knowledge of appropriate observational and assessment techniques and planning for children and their families. I chose this artifact because it shows how I will prepare and plan for children with a specific disability. In this assignment I demonstrate my ability to arrange the learning environment to encourage children with specific needs to reach their learning goals. Observation is one of the most vital skill for early childhood educator.
I recently had the opportunity to join a classroom at Horseshoe Trails Elementary school and observe a boy that will be referred to as Nick. Before the observation began I was able to speak with Nick’s teacher and obtain some background information about his development over the past year, his daily issues, as well as some family history. Nick is currently in second grade and has been struggling in the classroom for a multitude of reasons. For example, he has an individualized education program (IEP). In addition, he experiences issues with speaking clearly and concisely, due to a minor stutter.
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.
The book One Child by Torey Hayden was an excellent story told by a truly compassionate and caring educator. You could tell as you were reading the book that Torey had a heart for special education and emotionally disturbed children. She established her credibility from the beginning and kept me engaged in the story and locked on the story of Sheila’s life and educational journey. This story changed my views on the challenges of special education and melted the stereotypes that educators sometimes accuse special educators of proving them to be true.
During this developmental interview, I chose to conduct an observation/interview study with my one of my cousin’s child. This child is a 4 year old girl and will be identified as “child K” in relation to her first name. Her parents had no problem letting me interview her, but I had them stay in the same room as us. The purpose of this interview was to observe the child’s physical, cognitive, and socioemotional development. I observed her behavior and gave her several tests to show how well she has progressed.
A language sample analysis (LSA) is a tool that generates the coding and transcriptions of a language sample to document the language used every day in various speaking situations (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). Language samples are typically 50-100 words in length and are voice-recorded and then transcribed by the clinician. Language samples are done using spontaneous speech, such as typical conversation, or narrative contexts, such as story or event recalls (Miller, Andriacchi, & Nockerts, 2016). The speech-language pathologist (SLP) will take the recording and write out, in the exact words of the child and clinician, every utterance (Bowen, 2011). The SLP will then "code" the sample.
What is inclusion? Inclusion is a process of ‘narrowing the gap between learners with and without special educational needs’1. ‘Lessons should be planned to ensure that there are no barriers to every child achieving’2. Inclusion is ensuring that all pupils have equal opportunities, are welcomed and valued in our school community. Our ethos at Friendlydale Academy is to value every child as an individual and acknowledge that every child’s needs are special.
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. ’’

However, he also struggled with impulsivity, distractibility, and difficulties with communication and language. The teacher in the film accommodated to Peter's needs in a number of ways. She provided him with individualized instruction and modified the curriculum to meet his needs. She also advocated for his inclusion in regular classrooms, and provided support for his social and emotional development.
Every student with disabilities is also obligated to an IEP specifically for the student’s needs between the ages of 3 and 21 under IDEA. The IEP is created by a team of six or seven, depending on the age of the student. The six members are the parents, an individual that can explain the assessment results, keep in mind, the faculty of the school must not under any circumstances conduct the evaluations without parental consent. Also included is the general education teacher, a local representative from the local education department, the special education teacher and of course the student, who must be included in the meeting if the student is fourteen or older. In this IEP meeting the team members go over what has been planned for the IEP
