Recommended: Adhd research studies

As a special education teacher I also do not agree with the entire manifestation determination process. I deal with many students who struggle with ADHD which make these type of meetings more difficult each and every time. No matter the behavior, they always tend to fall under the category of impulsive or acting without regards to consequences. I understand and support the purpose of manifestation meetings for actions that truly do correlate to behavior for lower functioning students, but are we preparing our special education students for real life? What happens when they do not have an IEP later in life and break the law? There will be no manifestation meeting at that point. Great point,

  • Self-Directed Iep Case Study

    1211 Words  | 3 Pages

    This is simply not the case. Students who have not had the benefit of previous instruction often feel a debilitating inability to contribute (Martin, VanDycke, Greene, Gardner, Christensen, Woods, & Lovett, 2006). Without specific IEP instruction, students have no idea how to participate in IEP meetings, nor do they fully understand the purpose of their IEPs (Martin, Van Dycke, Christensen, Greene, Gardner, Woods, and Lovett, 2006). Lack of instruction, however should not be the hindrance that prevent students from participating and leading the IEP process. Students with disabilities must be taught how to direct their IEPs.

    The IEP team may include the student, their parents, a regular teacher, a special education provider and other representatives, such as a social worker or relative child care provider. These meets are required to be held within 30 days of the student’s acceptance into the special education program. Every IEP has the two main goals of setting reasonable learning goals and establishing academic services that the school will provide. The IEP should state which state and district-wide assessments that the student will or will not participate in and why.

  • The Salem Witch Trials (ADHD)

    1760 Words  | 4 Pages

    As much as ADHD is a medical impediment for the patient, it can almost be considered a privilege for a certain group of people, because they are allowed to assert that a certain set of behaviors belong to their “nature". To cope with the disorder, schools often offer students suffering from ADHD a host of accommodations, including special classes and teaching assistants to help them absorb the material at the level of their peers. Legal provisions exist that allow students with ADHD to be excused from standardized testing [1] and to be given additional leniency and resources in the classroom. The individual students themselves start to pick up that they are naturally distinguished or special in some way, because they have been stigmatized from a very formative age. This kind of thinking, while warranted in some scope, does not allow the children themselves to reflect and think critically about how outcomes in their school and life can be changed. Furthermore, the idea that their behavior is an immutable characteristic of nature can have devastating effects on their self-esteem and ability to succeed later in

  • The Gaskin Settlement Agreement: Summary And Reflection

    616 Words  | 2 Pages

    The Gaskin Settlement Agreement is an agreement between a group of families and advocacy organizations who filed a class action lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) on behalf of a group of children with disabilities in 1994. This agreement does not change a student’s placement, program, or IEP in any manner. Only the IEP team has the authority to make modifications that will impact a student’s IEP. The main goal of this settlement is to make sure that IEP teams will determine if the goals in a student’s IEP may be implemented in a general education setting with supplementary aids and services prior to considering an environment that is more restrictive in nature. The elements of this case were designed to help increase the capacity of school districts to provide related services, SDI that is appropriate, supplementary aids and services, and supports to students who have disabilities that are placed in general education classrooms. The PDE lists many important elements of the Settlement Agreement to be aware of...

    Steve and I explored his feelings about having an IEP and in turn receiving special education courses. Throughout our sessions, Steve became visibly upset, often times expressing dislike towards other kids in special education. Furthermore, Steve was adamant about not needing “slower” classes than other high school students. In Brandell (2010), “A confrontation of resistance should be offered in the spirit of analytic inquiry, with the clear intent to engage the client’s curiosity and self-observation” (p. 248). In a relational working alliance, I challenged Steve in attempt to promote self-awareness. Awareness of the defenses he was embracing in order to deal with the stigma attached to special education labeling, defenses that were interfering with his academic success.
