1.1 Explain How Difficult To Develop His Social And Communication?

Through learning about the differences between friends, children can be better prepared for real life. As a teacher, there are challenges when a student has significant learning or behavioural needs, but in many ways, this just keeps a teacher ever vigilant of the need to be a lifelong learner.

A few students in particular had specific disordered that delayed or made them lack the ability or drive to be social. In Erickson’s stages of personal and social development, one of my students would be in stage four based upon his age. My student is 8 ears old but socially should be placed in the beginning stages of stage three. In stage four, children aged 6 to 12 years, children begin to want to create things and begin to understand their abilities (Salvin, 2015 pg. 50). My student had no interest in doing thing or creating things. He had no understanding of what he could and couldn’t do. He was working on strengthening his vocabulary but he loved playing outdoors and having adults encourage or reward him with outdoor activities. Based on these things he would be in Erickson’s third stage, Initiative versus Guilt (Salvin, 2015 p. 50). Part of their Individual Education Plan was to help them gain social skills to help them succeed in our community and it was very important for me, as a volunteer, to understand what they would need in that aspect to

It is necessary for schools to consider, that although some pupils face more challenges then others; every child matters. Therefore, by supporting and creating an environment that supports all individuals helps to improve life chances of all students and achieve positive outcomes (Cheminais, 2010). However, Elliot and Lewis (2014) shared not all needs are met at mainstream primary schools which special schools provide for children, as they required access to SENCOs who understand their needs, but attending mainstream schools allowed them to receive an inclusive environment alongside other

Effective communication is the most important part in developing positive relationships with children, young people and adults. Some pupils that struggle with their learning and/or have confidence issues may find that they can’t communicate with all of us, therefore, treating that pupil in a calm, positive, praising and gentle manner could mean the difference between them trusting us or closing down and giving up. I believe that children should be spoken to

In this essay, we will identify and describe the seven goals for teaching appropriate social skills. First, helping children develop empathy and to learn to be generous, altruistic, and able to share equipment, experiences, and people with other children. Furthermore, helping children learn that being kind to others feels good and teaching children that everyone has rights and these rights are to be respected by all. While also emphasizing the value of cooperation and compassion rather than stressing competition and winning. Finally, helping children discover the pleasures of friendship and helping children with special needs fit into the life of the group.

Many children have attended a preschool or nursery before starting school, they are now entering a new setting and as part of a much larger group they will need to adapt to much more complex social situations (Yael Schmueli-Goetz). Yvonne Skipper said that 10%have trouble socially, without the friendships they do not have the opportunities to practice skills like ‘listening, responding, it may effect cognitive development because they may struggle more with listening instructions, and responding to teachers. (Yvonne Skipper o.u. video 2015 in Yael schmueli-Goetz.) By having friends children campractice the listening, responding and turn taking which will help them with the school routine once they begin their formal

The common traits of ASD, which include anti-social and often disruptive patterns of behavior, can make children with autism challenging for typical learning children to approach. Though the issue of including children with disabilities in mainstream classrooms is a complex one, peer-mediated interventions can promote the growth of social skills at every level of education. By educating the general population of typical peers and empowering them to be a part of the process a dent can be made in the social exclusion often experienced by the ASD children in mainstream settings. Implementing these interventions enriches the lives of all of the children involved, “possibly developing sustainable social relationships” expanding the effects of the program beyond the academic setting (Hughes et al., 2013). Also, these methods provide teachers an unobtrusive method of teaching that has benefits for the entire class. These methods could be helpful to other student populations that have intellectual

Communication differences – It is important to know the children in your school well as some may have communication difficulties which are not apparent on first meeting a child. A good example of this is a child who is on the Autistic Spectrum as their interpretation of social situations and abstract language tends to be greatly underdeveloped. You must speak plainly and with no ambiguity so as to no cause confusion. Children with a mild hearing loss may just need you to speak slowly and clearly, a more severe hearing loss may require sign language for effective communication and so it may be necessary to take training in sign language if a child with severe hearing loss is coming to your school. Children with speech and language difficulties

Emotional and behavioural difficulties – making friend or relating adult or behaving properly in school.

Communication skills – A child or young person’s communication skills have a massive impact on their overall development. Children who are lacking in communication skills can become easily frustrated and may begin to show aggressive behaviour. As communication skills require listening and the processing of information, children who have this difficulty will find it hard to concentrate in activities that involve these types of skills. Literacy is also linked to communication so, children with lack of these skills can find it hard to learn to read and write.

A,B) MSTT met with Serigo and Celso and examined his cognitions around meeting new friends. Celso explained he does feel anxiety when he's around his peers. He explained he does not feel they understand him. MSTT and Sergio encourage Celso to start by making friends in school because the school setting he's in now have peers with similar issues has him. Engaging with these peers may be easier for him because these peers could relate more to him. Celso agreed and was able to reach out to a couple peers in his class. He was even able to engage

According to Lavoie, social skills are more important for teachers to develop than math, reading, or writing. Everyone wants to feel included, appreciated, and loved. By teaching social skills, teachers are helping students with learning disabilities be successful in making and maintain friendships and increase their quality of life. Lavoie has stressed the importance of learning appropriate social skills. School is a job for children. Children spend 1,000 hours in the classroom, the rest of the time is spent at recess, in the hallways, on the bus, or at home. According to Lavoie, researches have linked learning disabilities to school failure and to social isolation or rejection. At the same time, social isolation and rejection is caused by

While in ninth and tenth grade, I constructed projects that deal with students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). In ninth grade, I focused on raising awareness about the social isolation that students with IDD are faced with in and out of school. This project was important to me because I was once in a special needs classroom and I remember the feeling of loneliness that I felt. I never want any student to go through that dilemma that I was faced with on a daily basis. However, I had a caring mother and grandmother that fought to provide me with the best education that was possible for me to obtain and I was able to mature out of those classrooms to the point where I was put in classes with the mainstream students. I want every student, no matter their standardized test scores or popularity, to know that they are important and that they are just as important as everyone else. We all can’t be smart like Albert Einstein or as beautiful as Marilyn Monroe, but we can be perfect at being ourselves and doing the best we can in order to make sure that we continue to better the world. Furthermore, the project that I worked on was titled, “IB Social” and it brought about the Best Buddies program to my school, which matched students with and without IDD in one-to-one friendships. Many students have enjoyed this program and a plethora of

Poor behaviour which results in exclusion, is often linked to disaffection, social difficulties, poor self esteem. An inability to access the education on offer, due to unaddressed needs and lack of support, can have a detrimental affect on behaviour as the child or young person loses interest with learning, becomes frustrated and isolated. Interventions which build self esteem, social skills and academic performance should nurture and motivate pupils to be more engaged with their education and behave more appropriately, avoiding

If social skills were to be a real subject most children would struggle (Lawson). They would have difficulties because it would be their hardest subject. Gaining social skills isn’t the easiest skill to have especially for children who are shy and quiet. Social skills are skills that children acquire along their way up. It is important that children build friendships with their peers so that they will enjoy and look forward to going to school. There are a variety of students that may have social skills difficulties. For example, “children who have attentional problems, children with memory problems, children with language and communication difficulties, and children with autism” have social skill difficulties (Lawson). Some children differ broadly on how well they are able to build relationships and obtain peer acceptance. Those are the ones that are considered to be popular and also the leaders at school. They are very much “self-confident and influential”
