    Case Study-Tracey

    Transitioning to adulthood can be stressful and challenging for all, but for those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and their caregivers transitioning to adulthood can provoke feeling of uncertainty or even fear. People with ASD function at different levels and require varying degrees of care. There should be an individualized educational plan (IEP) established by age 16 containing postsecondary goals related to training, education, employment, and independent living skills along with the transition services needed to assist in reaching those goals referred to as individualized transition plan (ITP) (Heward, 2013). Defining the needs of young adults with ASD should start with listening to the individual and helping him or her plan for the life he or she wants. When establishing an ITP, goals in education/training, employment and independent living; type of support needed on a job; residential alternatives; and interventions for any behavioral problems should be addressed.…

    A Critical Review of a Senco

    The BDA Dyslexia Friendly Schools Pack for Teachers (2009) provides an overall guide of what dyslexia is and how a dyslexia friendly school should be delivering education to the dyslexic learner. The writers begin with a definition of dyslexia stating that “dyslexia is a learning difference, a combination of strengths and weaknesses”. This is an informative definition as opposed to the recommendation of Norwich et al (2005) that exemplary schools should promote an inclusive school system whereby dyslexia is considered but not in isolation. The BDA (2009) state that importance ought to be placed on acknowledging dyslexia as “ a specific learning difficulty” as a specific learning difference” so that teaching is inclusive and focuses on all learners rather than just the dyslexic learner who may already feel something is wrong with them. However, I stress that this general definition is simplistic and I agree with Reid that there should be a working/operational definition. Reid’s definition of dyslexia is more informative:…

    Diagnosis/Prescription/Evaluation

    The formal evaluation is usually inclusive of an IQ assessment, such as the Woodcock Johnson III, is very important to establish a baseline of what the student may be capable of in their educational setting. In order to have a well-rounded look at what the student is capable of it is important to have a language, social/adaptive behavior, and perceptual-motor assessment completed. These assessments along with the parent, medical, and psychological input should give the intervention team a better picture of how to assist the student and where they should be placed if needed. The school must follow educational law set forth by IDEA 2004 by placing the student in the appropriate educational setting based on LRE. Most MR students are capable of participating in an inclusive setting depending on their level of ability. The diagnostic results give you an idea as to what extent the student can function in an inclusive environment. In addition, based on diagnosis, this will include services, accommodation, modifications. Everything that is included within the…

    The Response-To-Intervention Approach

The students must have at least two standard deviations (30 points) to be identifies with a learning disability. The Response-to-Intervention Approach is a more modern approach to identifying students with learning disabilities and is based around…

    Response to Intervention

    Response to Intervention also known as RTI is a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs that is rapidly being phased into regular education classrooms. “If properly, implemented, RTI has the potential to enhance the early identification and remediation of academic difficulties in the regular classroom by utilizing frequent formative assessment results to directly inform instructional decision making, to the potential benefit of students, teachers, schools, and society” (Kubiszyn & Borich, 2010, p. 57).…

    Special Education Interview

    Special education is defined as “specially designed instruction that meets the unusual needs of an exceptional student” according to Hallahan, D., Kauffman, J., and Pullen, P. (2012). The student that I chose to interview is currently age 25 and completed her special education program at the age of twenty-one. Due to the fact that the student was diagnosed as being mentally retarded at an early age, the mother was interviewed along with the student. In the state of Mississippi special education students are allowed to stay in school under the Exceptional Education Program until the age of twenty-one.…
