Recommended: Effective communication skills with children and young people 1.1

This counselor met with Kayla and her mom, Monica on 6/8/18, to discuss her termination from the childcare center and to talk about how to proceed with her case. To start this counselor asked Kayla for her side of the story. According to Kayla she felt everything was going "great." Monica seemed to disagree. Monica informed this counselor that Kayla had a major issue with switching rooms and had a attitude, which she believes affected her performance. Once in the other room she also refused to clean (toilets specifically). Monica stated that there was one worker at the day care center who was a "trouble maker" and her and Kayla became friends. Monica stated that Kayla is a follower and she seemed to bond with this co-worker, which affected …show more content…

The areas that were reviewed include: avoiding conflict (crying babies), not engaging with babies, becoming easily overwhelmed/frustrated, not following charts, needing a lot of redirection, and being rough with a child. Kayla was very upset by this list and stated, " I may have been overwhelmed at times because the center was really busy, but I never was rough with a child. I also always followed the charts and gave each child attention." Kayla did admit that she didn't interact with the older children as she prefers to work with infants. Although Kayla was upset by the termination and doesn't fully understand why she was let go, she agrees that the setting was not an appropriate fit for her. Monica …show more content…

This counselor believes that this may be a more realistic goal for Kayla, however, as she doesn't have experience in either of these areas, this counselor spoke with her about participating in a community based assessment. Kayla and her mom agreed that this would be a great way for her to explore this type of setting and to determine if this is more of an appropriate goal for her. It was decided that she would participate in a 3 week CBA with the ARC. Kayla is also interested in mobility training, but it was discussed that this would take place once she secures employment. Transportation will be provided by the ARC during the

    Understanding one another starts with understanding the various social intersections that make up our identities. Intersectionality, a concept developed by Kimberlé Crenshaw, analyzes how aspects of social location (gender, race, class, age, etc.) intersect and are linked, thereby creating multiple identities that relate to systems of oppression and marginalization (Carbado, Crenshaw, Mays, & Tomlinson, 2013). In this paper, the theme of intersectional identity will be explored using Janet Mock’s (2014) story as a case study, based off her book, Redefining Realness. Moreover, there will

    “I always knew I wanted to be a teacher,” she stated. Her passion for helping children with special needs was developed at a later age. The reason why Chris decided to be a special education teacher was because of two twin boys in her grade who had special needs.

The other boy, Jimmy, could come to school, but he would have to leave halfway through the school day.

    When I walked into the school, I was greeted by the receptionist who kindly showed me where to sign in and then directed me to the teacher I would be observing for the day. The staff was dressed very appropriate for the day and on Friday they were able to wear pink because it was October. Although I did not see much interaction with factuality with each other, I was able to witness when the teachers of a certain grade would come to pick up their students. I saw how the teachers interacted with Mrs. Lee and they were very respectful. The student’s behavior varied from class to class. Most of the classes were well behaved with only a few students causing disruption. Mrs. Lee had warned me that the kindergarten class is normally noisier than other classes, but to her surprise the students were very quiet and did their work independently with no interruptions. Mrs. Lee did a wonderful job at keeping the students disciplined within the classroom. She would give positive re-enforcement and correct students when they would do something incorrectly. She worked really well with the students and they students responded in a respectful manner to Mrs.

  • The Evaluation And Labeling Of Children With Disabilities

    1704 Words  | 4 Pages

    Another idea that I listed was to have the professional spend more time exploring the child's strengths andpossibilities in order to aid in designing a special program in which the child would thrive. I have spent the past four years being angry with the clinic at OHSU. I can truly say that all of this channeling and exercising (PMI and APC) has helped me to have a better understanding of why the testing is as it is, how it affects us, and most importantly, that a closed mouth does not get fed. If I want changes, I now understand that I have to speak up and talk to someone who can do something about it. Now that I am more clear about the process, I can offer something positive to help other families avoid the pain and anger thatI have endured. Knowing this, and feeling good about the road ahead, is a very good place for me to start. The most important realization for me is that Malia is still Malia, regardless of any label they placed upon her. In conclusion, whether or not I make a difference in modifying the evaluation process, I know that Malia is and always will be the same wonderful child she has always been.

    You brought up a really good point Kayla, questioning the situation on terms of the court not terming him as legally insane yet treating him on legally insane terms. Not going to jail, and not with his case reopening with a chance of him being free from the mental institution it really makes me question the judgment of the court. I admire your close attentive to the situation and do agree that although this is just provisional diagnosis there is a lot of missing information that is critical to really understanding this diagnosis. For instance, a more in-depth analysis of his relationship with his family, noting of there was any maltreatment early in childhood, and like you questioned his past medical history. This situation really surprises

  • Addressing Jammie's Disruptive Classroom Behavior

    Today we are addressing Jammie’s inappropriate behavior in class. Jammie has outburst in class which disrupts the class. Jammie will fall to the floor and scream just to avoid answering questions in class. Jammie will do this during quiet time as well when the students are trying to study for the quiz. The other children are trying to learn but with the distraction of Jammie it is hard to pay attention. My theory is that Jammie does not like to be in class after she has lunch, I feel that she is getting exhausted of class and realizes that school is almost out. I feel that Jammie thinks she will not have to participate in class if she sits out in the hallway.
