Reflection: Speech Language Pathologist And 18 Students
The ratio was 4:18 on the day of the observation. There were three teachers, one speech language pathologist, and 18 students. Also one teacher is fluent in Spanish and can serve as a translator if needed. I would consider the number of students to be restrictive. The physical space while all the teachers and the students were in the room, felt very cramped. Children can’t have as much physical actions because there were so many of them. In addition to the physical space restriction, there is also a restriction on one-on-one interaction with a teacher. I conversed with one of the teachers and she stated that they try to have one-on-one time with each of the students at least once a day. But she also stated that they very rarely get through

    Language disorders are among the most frequent developmental problems, reaching up to 20% of all children and can be classified as delay, dissociation and deviation. Therefore, Speech-Language Pathology, which is the science that studies, development, improvement, disorders and differences in human communication plays a major role in children's language disorders (ASHA, 1982; BUSCHMANN et al., 2008; MCLAUGHLIN, 2011).…

    When it comes to employment, a speech-language pathologists “have the opportunity to work in a variety of settings; which includes: schools, medical facilities, long-term care facilities, rehabilitation facilities, and private practice, among others” (Kalkhoff & Collins, 2012). It has been reported that many speech-language pathologists are primarily employed in school settings and falling in second place are medical settings (Kalkhoff & Collins, 2012). In reference of time, many speech-language pathologist work full time. In additional, facts point out that 1 out of 4 speech-language pathologists worked part time in 2014. Moreover, due to the diversity of work settings, traveling between different schools or facilities might be needed (Bureau…

    Another aspect of becoming a speech pathologist would be to consider the nature of work. The nature of work includes daily duties and responsibilities. For instance, one major duty a speech pathologist has to do is being able to diagnose disorders and educate students, staff and parents. This duty can help the individual(s) become more aware of the situation. Some patients may have had a stroke or has autism and the speech pathologist has to educate their family or them about how they are going to improve his/her speech. Another duty comes into play at that point. Speech pathologists must write Individualized Education Plans (IEP), write Individualized Family Service Plans (IFSP), and provide direct services to whomever, and attending IEP/IFSP…

    There were two Caucasian students, seven African-American students, and six Mexican students. Mrs. Brodie was the teacher and Ms. Johnson was the teacher assistant. The classroom was large and there was plenty of space for the children to move about. The classroom structure was very similar to that of the 3-year-old classroom that I observed in my first field observation. There was also a carpet on the floor for circle time and the classroom was divided up into centers as well. The centers were clearly labeled. Some of the centers included reading, art, science, manipulatives, and blocks. As I stated before it was very similar to the 3-year-old classroom set-up. The classroom was filled with print and there were many different aspects of cultural references which included posters in the Spanish language and books that represented the different diversity of all of the students. The classroom was like the 3-year-old classroom amplified. I am thinking that maybe because the school is state funded that it why they do have so many more materials than a regular preschool classroom. The science area even had a telescope in the center. The children knew what it was and what it was used…

    In Roswell High School we have over 1250 students; out of these students eighty percent are Hispanic, seventeen percent are Caucasian, three percent are African American, and one tenth percent are other or two different ethnicities. Thirty-eight percent of Roswell citizens are only spanish speaking or speak little english, many books and pamphlets at Roswell High School are english only, causing native spanish speakers to be at an educational disadvantage. Though some teachers speak spanish, much time in class would be used translating rather than covering the criteria in the already limited time frame. Teachers who do not speak spanish may rely on bilingual students to help teach or translate for other students to learn. If teachers do not do those options the solely spanish speaking students fall behind, or are taught by teachers that speak spanish but do not comprehend the material they are attempting to teach, this may also cause the student to fall behind as…

    A strategy used in this classroom was when the teacher pulled aside or took time to sit with each child for a while throughout the day. This showed the children that each one was not singled out and that they got to have one on one time with their teacher. It made them feel safe and proud to have separate time to share with their teacher.…

    Coming into my senior year not knowing what I wanted to go to college for was very frustrating. Family and friends were giving me all kinds of different ideas and I could never just decide on one. It was very frustrating trying to find something that I would love to do for the rest of life. My mom finally suggested something that caught my eye and that was speech pathology. I researched about and thought about it so I decided I would give it a shot. I finally job shadowed a speech pathologist and I feel in love with the career. I loved getting to experience the things they do to help people and knowing that I will be able to help people in my future is the best feeling. Knowing that it is hard to get accepted into the program and it is going to be very expensive, I could not be anymore excited. It is going to be very hard but I know that I am going to be able to do it because I want it bad enough. If someone wants something bad enough they will do their best at what they are wanting and get it.…

    Preschool Observation Paper

    The date of my observation was April 27th, 2010. It was about 9:30 in the morning when I began my study. I went to Grossmont College’s Child Development Center. The first thing I began looking for was if the child-teacher ratio was correct. The child ratio was 2 teachers to about every 8 children. The ratio was good. As I entered there was one large room that almost looked as if it could be two rooms they way it was set up. One half consisted of a large bookshelf with numerous books on it with a couch in the front of it. The other half of the room was almost like a little kitchen. It had a table with chairs around it with a sink and cabinets behind it. There were “age appropriate” toys as well as books all over the room. The areas were both clean and seemed to have no safety hazards. I then walked outside to find almost like a little wonderland for kids. It was so amazing. There was tons of stuff for children to explore and to expand their imaginations. There was a dirt path that went around the children’s whole play area, which was occupied by children riding their tricycles. Then to the right side of the play area there was a huge jungle gym and some play kitchen sets. I observed about 2 teachers that were outside and again 8 children. The teachers outside seemed very respectful towards the children. It was very equal from what I observed. The teachers were very interactive with the children and very helpful when needed. My first impression of “cultural diversity,” I would say that based on just children outside; there are a good mix of Caucasian, Mexican, African-American, and Asians. There seemed to be an equal amount of girls versus boys. The center was kind of hectic but was handled very well by all staff. After observing my surroundings for a minute or two one little girl caught my eye. She reminded me a lot of my two year old just based of her looks and her personality. She seemed to be very outgoing and very into what…
