Developmental Goal 1: Listening and responding to staff appropriately. The child will be given multiple opportunities throughout the day to follow directions provided to him by staff and his parents. The school wide intervention program will also be taught to the parents so the child will develop a generalization in the use of vocabulary. “Effective partnerships consider parent involvement and parent engagement as a top priority and seek ways to provide meaningful and relevant opportunities for parents to fully participate as allies, advocates, and leaders in their children’s education and in the partnerships that impact them” (Partnerships_Local Ed., 2006). If everyone who works with the child uses the same terminology, the child will …show more content…
The immediate action provided to the child is that he qualifies for special education related services for his social-emotional delays. Constant support will be provided by special education staff in the school setting and continued in the home by his parents. Special education and counseling staff will continue to work with Mom and Dad on the use of supportive behavioral strategies in the home and in conjunction with the school setting. School staff will provide in home support during the summer months through ESY (Extended School Year) when school is not in session. The amount of time provided will be decided upon as a team effort which will include input from the parents. As part of the behavior management plan, the child will be provided positive reinforcement for his behavior as well as helping him with transitions into future classrooms. In the event that he displays three days of good behavior in a row, the child will be given the reward of visiting the kindergarten classroom he will be attending preceding year. During his visit he will learn the classroom rules and familiarize himself with …show more content…
He will be provided with one on one interventions to practice the skills needed to carry over into the classroom setting. Staff members will be available to walk him through the steps in real time situations. Daily communication with parents will describe how the student progressed thru the school day and what behaviors(appropriate and inappropriate) were witnessed. The team will discuss strategies to support the child when he arrives home from school based on the data.? In school, other support staff will come into the regular education classroom and teach the class as a whole on a weekly basis how to use these relaxation strategies. All other support staff that work with the student will also be trained in the sensory based strategies to develop consistency in using calming techniques. Children who are in need of more supports are also allowed to have items such as weighted vests, blankets, fidget toys and a stress relief ball. These tools may also be carried over with the student as he transitions into other grade levels. Teaching the calming strategies to him and his parents will provide them with the necessary tools to carry into other settings such as the grocery store, church and other environments that may make the child feel
Based on the information provided in case 8, Crashing Planes and Tranquil Dreams, Richard is a 4 years old boy, who is experiencing challenging behaviors at school, as well as at home. Richard lives with both parents, and two older brothers. Richard has been attending the YMCA’s full-day preschool program for the past 2 years. He is described as a “good kid” by parents and teacher, however, he is constantly active, impulsive, and frequently becoming involved in conflicts with adults. Parents are continuously working, and as mentioned in this case, they have to spend most of the time at home yelling at Richard or putting him in time-out as part of his consequences for not listening or misbehaving.

Jimmy’s school is a special kind of school where it is not a typical K-12 school setting, the school runs its course for the student until the student becomes 21 years of age. The school plays a very big part in Jimmy’s success as an adult with Autism Spectrum Disorder. The school makes up Jimmy’s IEP. Jimmy’s school also does assessments three times per school year and they forward the reports home to Jimmy’s mother to look over. The number one concern for Jimmy’s parents were if he was able to talk and be social, as Jimmy was non-verbal until age five. Over the years that Jimmy has attended the school, the school has helped Jimmy form better communication skills. Another important factor to Jimmy’s parents was social interaction. Jimmy needs
Due to the limited amount of students on the IEP caseload at the Troy School #2, there is no extended school year program for occupational therapy. Through the handout provided to the families, it gave them the opportunity to carryover their child’s skills through the summer. AOTA recognizes social participation as patterns of behaviors that are expected of an individual (AOTA, 2014). Providing play that is both structured and unstructured allows for the child experience a variety of opportunities with their peers. The social participation of a child begins within the family. Family relationships should be the most stable and long lasting for a child. The definition of family has changed over the years, and may differ in meaning depending on the individual (Mulligan, 2014). A strong support system within the family provides the foundation for fostering the development of a child’s sense of
The Child Development Center of College of San Mateo provides early care and educational programs for children between the ages of 3 to 5 years old. Children are divided into classrooms with a “master” teacher, a “regular” teacher, and two or three “associate” teachers. Klara attended Classroom, “A,” a stimulating and well-resourced classroom. Klara was observed for two hours on Monday from 9 am to 11 am and for two hours on Wednesday from 9 am to 11 am. During these two hours, classroom activities consisted of “free time,” “story time,” and an outside “play time.” A “master” teacher, a “regular” teacher, and two “associate” teachers were present during observations. Additionally, a total of eighteen children were in attendance during the observed days.
IEP Development. In developing the IEP, the team should determine the child’s present level of academic achievement and functional performance and project whether any additions or modifications to the instruction or services are necessary to enable the child to meet measurable annual goals and to participate, as appropriate, in the general education curriculum. IDEA requires that the team considers the student’s strengths; parents’ concerns; evaluation results; and academic, functional, and developmental needs of the student. The IEP team must also consider individual circumstances. One special consideration is whether the student’s behavior impedes that student’s learning or the learning of other students. If so, the IEP team must consider the use of positive behavior interventions and supports (PBIS), and other strategies, to address the behavior.
There are many key components to shaping a young child 's life and could be better implemented through professionalism. I like to reflect back to the “Children See Children Do” video, which clearly proves children imitate/learn verbal and nonverbal cues from adults. As a teacher, it is necessary to be the best version of yourself everyday, in order to pass those actions along. This not only affects a child 's ethics but it also generates better behavior which affects the parents lives in a more positive way outside of the classroom. This module has taught me many different techniques when working with a misbehaved child. For instance, I plan to use self awareness in my classroom to keep a positive tone and eliminate poor body language. I will also use breathing methods for children as well as myself to establish a well-rounded classroom. Professionalism is such an important role in shaping our young child 's lives and it deserves to be stressed more which will in turn create a better learning
Routines that are familiar to the children will support them to build attachments with staff and adjust to the new environment in a nonthreatening secure way.
Intervention needs to be tailored to the child’s needs, and effort needs to be placed on restoring the child to normal or optimal state of mental health or behavior adjustment. Intervention needs to focus on problem-solving and cognitive skills, so that children with behavioral problems learn to adjust to, deal with, or resolve conflicting and traumatic factors. Skill development is an essential ingredient of lifestyle intervention.
Since the beginning of time, fathers have had a profound effect on their child’s development. Over the years, the norm for traditional family dynamics of having a father figure in the household has changed drastically, and so did the roles of the parents. It is not as common as it used to be to have a father or father figure in the home. In this day and age, women are more likely to raise children on their own and gain independence without the male assistance due to various reasons. The most significant learning experience and development of a person’s life takes place in their earlier years when they were children. There are many advantages when there is a mother and father combined in a
Mundschenk, Miner, and Nastally (2011), use an analogy to compare the duties of an air traffic controller to those of an educator in their classroom. For example, the air traffic controllers must use simple commands to direct the pilots, the same way teachers must use concise and simple instructions to direct their students through several lessons and activities. They describe the different strategies and techniques teachers can implement in their classrooms to help their students remain engaged and reduce challenging behaviors. Also, they address the benefits of each of the strategies mentioned. They focus on how teachers can help avoid or manage challenging behaviors from children with emotional behavioral disorders (EBD). Some strategies include: setting clear limits, allowing students to self-monitor their academic as well as behavioral progress, using simple directions, teaching students to request breaks,
Being accepted in the CWS program is one of my short-term goals. I’ve always dreamed of working for DCS (department of child services). Everyone should have a chance to follow their dreams. I want to improve laws for children so they can feel more safe I want to change the ways of others thinking, and stand for what I believe in. I would do everything to improve my grades and my ability to perform the functions of the job expected of me.
Students suffering emotional and behavioral disorders can benefit from a variety of classroom accommodations that may help lessen the severity of their behaviors and/or reactions to external stimuli. Stress reduction is also extremely important for children suffering emotional and behavioral disorders as it could help them relax, which would contribute to diminishing such...
Identify children showing signs of emotional, developmental, or health-related problems and discuss them with supervisors, parents or guardians, and child development specialists.
for example, if a child feels safe in an environment, they will feel secure and confident and are able to express this. If a child doesn't feel safe their emotional well-being will be at risk. Children learn from their environment, they learn from what is projected around them, the toys that are around to play with, the indoor or outdoor environment they are in, and the people around them, their play friends and the staff. If a staff member is caring and gentle and considerate, responsive and reliable, it will let the children gain a good level of trust and understanding;ultimately a good relationship will form. Children are able to pick up on the moods of those around them, and this can be portrayed in their behavior they display. It is also important for the day to have some form of familiarity and routine. Children need to know what to expect when they go into a setting and what is typical of a day, what teachers are familiar and it be welcoming and nurturing. this means responding in a positive manner and appropriately and providing one on one for every child throughout their
