Jarrod reads very slow and is focused too much and pronouncing the words correctly that he is not able to make meaning from the text. Although reading comprehension was his strongest skill area in the GORT-5, research on reading fluency, has shown that when students are able to read fluently, students are able to improve their comprehension. Jarrod will benefit from explicit instruction in reading rate, prosody and building confidence reading aloud.
Albeit LTC facilities are designed to benefit individuals with disabilities, residents in LTC settings are often victims of unethical practices conducted by healthcare employees. Types of abuse commonly seen in long-term care ranges from withholding food from the individual, overdosing residents with medication to keep them calm, withholding individuals from activities, physically beating or spanking residents, and the list goes on. There are many instances where residents are verbally abused, called names, and profanity is used against the individuals. This type of behavior from health care professionals is unacceptable, and these incidents must be

Residents deserve to have control of their lives as much as possible even though they live in an institution. Autonomy means different things to different people. For other residents, it means being able to decide what to eat and when to it and what to do. Other residents, autonomy means being able to refuse or accept treatments. For the staffs of the facility, it means being able to comply the residents’ individual wishes without compromising the quality and effectiveness of the care given with the residents. This is a big challenge for the facility because most of the residents have physical and mental disabilities. Many residents are not totally competent to make important decisions by themselves. Facility staffs must find ways to make sure that decisions are made with the best interests of the resident in mind. In doing that, the staffs must give great credence to what they believe to be the wishes of the resident, protecting that person’s autonomy whenever possible (Pratt, 2015, p. 109).

On September 10, Collin and I had breakfast in the Mashuda diner. When coming back upstairs, we were shocked to not only see our previously stored stuff thrown around the room, but to also see that we had a new roommate. Given no prior notice, Collin and I were forced to move our belongings and assist our new roommate in moving in. While talking to his parents, it seemed that Ian too was given very short notice on his move, which caused us to question the professionalism of the Marquette Office of Residence Life. This is unacceptable behavior for a reputable university, and while we did say we were aware that the space in the room could be filled, we did not expect such a situation to be handled so poorly.
Federal and State laws require that nursing homes develop a plan of care and employ sufficient staffing to provide all the care listed on the care plan. Most corporate owned nursing homes today are not sufficiently staffed, and they can not provide all the care listed on the care plan. Consequently, residents are not taken to the toilet when necessary; they’re often left lying in urine and feces. They also develop painful and life-threatening decubitus ulcers, and are not fed properly, they’re not given sufficient fluids. They are also over-medicated or under-medicated, and dropped causing painful bruises and fractures, are ignored and not included in activities, are left in bed all day, call lights not answered. These are all forms of negligence, performed daily in nursing homes.
