When working or teaching kids with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) there are four main levels to help the students based on their individual needs. These levels vary with intensity depending on the student’s needs that need to be addressed and how severe the case may be. To be able to accurately assess the student’s ability to assign them to the most appropriate level of intensity it is important to look at the limitations that the student is facing. This can be done assessing a variety of factors including but not limited to: environment, community, and behavioral factors. The very first level of intensity provided to students who are place in the IDD category is Intermittent. This is the lowest level of involvement and support

    In 1987, Nancy Mairs argued that physical disabilities are not represented correctly in the media and television. And recently, Rosie Anaya disagrees by explaining that mental disability is suffering worse representation than physical disability. People with mental disabilities are not realistically portrayed on television. Thus, this unrealistic portrayal results in a negative stigma on mental disability and can further isolate those with disabilities.

    This source highlighted different approaches taken by schools, teachers, and aides that work closely with persons with ASD. While states offer equal educational opportunities to students, it is important for the individual to understand what their needs are when choosing a school or program.

This type of frustration can cause the individual with ASD to exhibit problematic behavior or cause them to develop

  • The Differences Between Low Incidence Disabilities

    1267 Words  | 3 Pages

    The Individuals with Disabilities Act, 2004 (IDEA), has 14 different categories of disabilities (IDEA Partnership, 2012). Students with disabilities can be placed into two more distinct groups which are high incidence disabilities or HID and low incidence disabilities or LID. IDEA defines low incidence disabilities as those students with visual, hearing or significant cognitive impairment (Outcome Data, 2006). These students need personal that are highly trained in specialized skill and knowledge to provide early interventions and education. Those with LID account for less than one percent of the school population (Outcome Data, 2006). Students that fall into this category are usually educated outside of the general education classroom for part of the school day.

    For a special education student to be successful and reach their true potential, it takes a collaborative effort between both the special education and general education teacher. Both teachers need to have an understanding of each student’s disability and unique academic needs. Both teachers play vital roles in participating as part of the IEP team, providing professional input, and best practices to develop the student’s IEP, which will provide all stakeholders in the child’s education the accommodations and modifications for the special needs child to be successful in the

    The decision to pursue a career, prepare for competitive employment, and participate in post-secondary education (PSE) or any other post high school alternative is perhaps the most significant commitment an intellectually disabled (ID) student will make in his or her lifetime.

  • Disability, Identity And Representation Analysis

    1356 Words  | 3 Pages

    The term normate, and those who consider themselves to be these normates, choose the social figure through which people can associate themselves as definitive human beings. Thus, the normate is the constructed identity of those who, by way of the bodily configurations and cultural capital they assume, can step into a position of authority and wield the power it grants them (Garland Thomson, 1996, p. 8). In other words, those who consider themselves to be normates believe that they are the norm and superior humans in society, hence labeling others as abnormal. Those who do not conform to the normate are excluded by society. The concept of being normal is socially constructed and cultivated by society, taking only the majority in consideration.

    Students with learning disabilities can learn; each student has his or her own strengths and weaknesses. Educators must continue to focus on the strengths of each student and building on them, creating a stronger student and person. Identifying the weakness is at the core of getting a student help with their learning disability, but after this initial identification and placement, the focus should shift to the strengths and adjusting the student’s schoolwork to reflect these strengths. For instance, if a student is weak in reading but has wonderful group interaction skills and is good with his or her hands, the students' reading tasks should then be shifted to reflect these st...

  • What Is A High Incidence Disability?

    1430 Words  | 3 Pages

    High Incidence disabilities are mild disabilities that affect most of the special education students in schools today. “Approximately 36 percent of all students with disabilities served under IDEA have specific learning disabilities.” (Turnbull, Turnbull, Wehmeyer & Shogren, 2016 p. 104)The three areas that fall under the title of a high incidence disabilities are learning disabilities, mild intellectual disabilities, and emotional/ behavioral disorders. Students with high incidence disabilities are taught and spend most of their time in the general education classroom. They are supported in the classroom with accommodations, modifications, paraprofessionals and related services to help them succeed. They may spend a portion of their day receiving support from a special education teacher, or another related service providers such as a speech pathologist, physical therapist, occupational therapist, or social worker outside of the classroom. It becomes apparent when students start school which ones have a high incidence disability. This is because when they start school educators begin to notice they are different from their peers sometimes socially, behaviorally, or they begin to struggle academically. They all share some similar traits such as a short attention span and lower academic skills in certain areas or subjects. They may also have difficulties with their behavior or social development. At that point they may be referred to for testing or an evaluation to see what might be going on with the student.

  • Understanding the Disabled

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    The first thought that crosses the mind of an able-bodied individual upon seeing a disabled person will undoubtedly pertain to their disability. This is for the most part because that is the first thing that a person would notice, as it could be perceived from a distance. However, due to the way that disability is portrayed in the media, and in our minds, your analysis of a disabled person rarely proceeds beyond that initial observation. This is the underlying problem behind why disabled people feel so under appreciated and discriminated against. Society compartmentalizes, and in doing so places the disabled in an entirely different category than fully able human beings. This is the underlying theme in the essays “Disability” by Nancy Mairs, “Why the Able-Bodied Just Don’t Get it” by Andre Dubus, and “Should I Have Been Killed at Birth?” by Harriet Johnson.

    Once a child has been identified as needing special education services, decisions for the individual will revolve around the set-up and implementation of the individual’s individualized education program (IEP). The IEP team will be formed and will have to define the problems that the individual is having, set goals, develop and implement intervention strategies, and carry out assessments and evaluations at various intervals that are targeted to the needs of the individual. The critical factors that will help the child progress are what should be included in the IEP. The IEP will be the foundation for educating the individual because it will contain the expected accomplishments, procedures, and other related services (i.e. physical and occupational

  • Teaching Students with Disabilities

    Education is a profession which requires a teacher to be able to communicate with a multitude of students on a variety of levels. There is not a class, or student for that matter, that is identical. Therefore, teachers must be able to identify and help educate students from all different types of backgrounds and at different levels. Teaching a singular subject presents difficulties, but teaching students with disabilities should not be one. There are three main teaching areas that need to be focused on when teaching a student with a learning disability. Teachers need to focus on the strategies that will assist students with reading comprehension skills, writing skills, and maintaining appropriate behaviors in a classroom setting.
