Transcript: Special Education in Public Schools Understanding your students to provide appropriate educational support. Individual Behavioral Support Plan Individual Behavioral Support Plan Required by Public Law 108-446 for students with disabilities who exhibit problematic behavior Proactive intervention approach that includes: Functional behavioral assessment Use of positive behavioral supports Precursors to Problematic Behavior Precursors to Problematic Behavior The precursors to problematic behaviors may include physiological factors, classroom environmental factors, and curriculum and instruction factors. By identifying these antecedents to problematic behavior, the teacher can provide appropriate adaptations to facilitate the pupil's success and prevent the problem behavior from occurring. Functional Behavioral Assessment Functional Behavioral Assessment Strategy that seeks to determine the purpose or function that a particular behavior serves-what is occasioning and maintaining the behavior Positive Behavioral Supports Positive Behavioral Supports An alternative approach to punishment; a schoolwide, proactive way of addressing problematic behaviors Educational Placements for Students with Emotional or Behavioral Disorders Educational Placements for Students with Emotional ... Levels of Prevention Levels of Prevention Primary Prevention Universal interventions (Schoolwide, classroom, specific Setting system) Secondary Prevention Specialized Group Interventions (at-risk supports Tertiary Prevention Specialized interventions (individual student system) Students with chronic/intense problem behavior (1%-7%) Students at risk for problem behavior (5%-15%) Students without serous problem behavior (80%-90%) Exceptionalities Exceptionalities Under IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act), the criteria for identifying pupils suspect of being learning disabled require that: A child has a severe discrepancy between achievement and intellectual ability in one or more of the following : Oral expression Listening Comprehension Written Expression Basic Reading Skill "1. The child does not achieve commensurate with his or her age and ability levels in one or more areas listed in (a)(2), when provided with learning experiences appropriate for the child's age and ability levels. 1 Reading Comprehension Mathematics Calculation Mathematics Reasoning The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) defines a specific learning disability as: “a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, that may manifest itself in the imperfect ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or to do mathematical calculations.” Specific Learning Disability Specific Learning Disability includes: Perceptual disabilities Brain injury Minimal brain dysfunction Dyslexia Developmental aphasia Characteristics According to the National Dissemination Center for Children with Disabilities (known as NICHCY), specific learning disabilities commonly affect skills in the areas of: Reading (called dyslexia) Writing (called dysgraphia) Listening Speaking Reasoning Math (called dyscalculia) Signs that a child might have a learning disability tend to appear in elementary school. For example, difficulty learning the alphabet, problems with following directions, trouble transforming thoughts into written words and misreading math problems are all possible indicators of a specific learning disability. Characteristics Educational Strategies Using Scaffolding in the Classroom Educational Strategies Introduce the Concept Regulate difficulty during guided practice Provide varying contexts for student practice Provide feedback Increase student responsibility Provide independent practice IDEA defines this as: “having limited strength, vitality, or alertness, including a heightened alertness to environmental stimuli, that results in limited alertness with respect to the educational environment, that— (a) is due to chronic or acute health problems such as asthma, attention deficit disorder or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, diabetes, epilepsy, a heart condition, hemophilia, lead poisoning, leukemia, nephritis [a kidney disorder], rheumatic fever, sickle cell anemia, and Tourette syndrome; (b) adversely affects a child’s educational performance.” Other Health Impairment Other Health Impairment Since there are so many impairments that fall under other health impairments, it would be best to research the specific impairment that your student faces to learn more about how you can provide assistance for them in the classroom. Characteristics Characteristics Successfully educating students with OHIs begins with individualized education programs (IEPs). An IEP should list all of a student’s special needs. Parents, whether your child gets access to medicine, has specific nutritional needs or receives other appropriate accommodations, reiterate these needs to your son’s or As
