Recommended: Teaching methods for learners with disabilities

The sessions that I had with Marc thus far has proven to be effective in my efforts to give him another perspective on his own position of his self identity. Along with working with me, Marc is working with his disability service counselor and two other counselors in the student’s center. I have consulted the other two counselors who are working with him in creating his student education plan. I have also consulted with my direct supervisor with what I am working on and discussing what is working and not working for him. Again, I am very cognizant of his speech impairment and his disclosure of his disability. Marc is utilizing all of his resources to his best ability to get the most out of what he wants in education at American River College.

    This realness is yet another point of intersection that makes Joey prominent example of a student with special needs. There was nothing to make is seem as though having a disability is a life sentence, but there was hope which came to fruition at the end. Gantos makes it clear that change happens with help. Help from educators, special education educators, doctors, etc. Though help and change can happen, it is a lengthy process to identify a problem, implement a possible solution, and see results. This is evident when intervention does not happen until Joey harmed another student, was suspended for six weeks, and then had a trial period on his new medicine. Gantos gave a realistic view into what it is like to have a disability and its effects within an educational setting and its implications when left unattended too

  • My Personal Philosophy of Special Education

    1036 Words  | 3 Pages

    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...

  • Problems with Self-Contained Classrooms for Disabled Students

    1526 Words  | 4 Pages

    Students with disabilities who are in self-contained classrooms struggle with many issues pertaining to independence. In their classrooms they become more dependent on their teachers and classroom peers (Jones & Hensley, 2012). This is the opposite of what is needed for these students (Jones & Hensley, 2012). Learning is a full circle process, which encompasses more than academics. In order for students with disabilities to obtain a complete education, inclusion in social dynamics should be an integral part of their learning environment (Arnon, Shamai, & Ilatov, 2008).

    This becomes a broader community issue as more students with literacy support issues seek postsecondary education. Kimball suggested that departments responsible for protecting students’ access to reasonable accommodations need to do better explaining to content instructors the importance, and the value, of supporting students and their literacy needs (Kimball, et al., 1998). Levant clarified that not all students need the same literacy supports, but that most students, diagnosed or not, would benefit from adjusting teaching and assessment strategies in order to accommodate a variety of learners (Kimball, et al.,

  • Philosophy Paper #1: Personal Identity

    1056 Words  | 3 Pages

    What is personal identity? This question has been asked and debated by philosophers for centuries. The problem of personal identity is determining what conditions and qualities are necessary and sufficient for a person to exist as the same being at one time as another. Some think personal identity is physical, taking a materialistic perspective believing that bodily continuity or physicality is what makes a person a person with the view that even mental things are caused by some kind of physical occurrence. Others take a more idealist approach with the belief that mental continuity is the sole factor in establishing personal identity holding that physical things are just reflections of the mind. One more perspective on personal identity and the one I will attempt to explain and defend in this paper is that personal identity requires both physical and psychological continuity; my argument is as follows:
