Academic And Non Academic Needs

Disability Act (2010) refers to those people whom got a medical condition that requires special attention and extra care and helps us, as teachers to treat them equally and not let them feel excluded, this Act can be linked to A, B and F Domains from LLUK standards. If in my course of work I’ll have to deal with a disabled learner I’ll try to plan the session according www,,, to this and prepare for him appropriate tasks. I’ll try to widen my knowledge about his/her disability to know better his/her needs and what teaching

There are many different reasons that students may need additional assistance to be successful academically. Students may have a difficulty reading, or English may not be their primary language. They may have suffered a traumatic brain injury or may have been born with Autism. Students might even have difficulty socially interacting with teachers and peers or due to some physiological impact in their young lives might have other emotional impairments. No matter what the cause for the disability, special education services and interventions are vital to success of these special students.

The special educational needs (SEN) team are supported by a very active group who make sure that they provide a range of activities to meet the needs of our ever growing community of special schools, as well as colleagues in mainstream primary and secondary schools. Their aim is to work together to ensure good practice to promote effective approaches to enhance the students learning with Special educational needs.

Special needs students with emotional, behavioural, mental, or physical disability are now often mainstreamed for at least part of their school day. Gifted children are also often in the same classroom and also need support, but a different kind (DfES 2004). This makes planning lessons that service all pupils a complex and often difficult task. The teaching is also one that could rarely be performed effectively by only one instructor (Bage, Grosvernor and Williams 1999). Hence, all three adults must work together to ensure pupils’ progress at an appropriate rate, balancing the special needs pupil’s entitlement and the needs of the broader class.

I knew how much of each I needed to make up twelve shilling, and I could trade them easily for the things I needed.” (Lawrence Hill 206) She was taught math and it helped her to know what thing were worth and how much to be paid. She would never know the value of money if she was not taught math. Being able to ask for a pound for her services later in life

Including students with additional needs such as Doug in a regular classroom requires a specific change in teaching behaviours. Research conducted this year revealed that the relationship between a teacher and students underpins the importance of fostering a students belonging with disabilities (Crouch, R., Keys, C. B., & McMahon, S. D. 2014). On many occasions Doug should have been treated and catered for differently not only by his peers but especially by his teacher as his rights are protected by the Disability and Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA). The Act directly address the area of

The research in this paper is to discuss strategies used to teach students with severe disabilities in mathematics. “According to the American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, (AAIDD) Intellectual disability is characterized by significant limitations both in intellectual functioning and in adaptive behavior as expressed in conceptual, social, and practical adaptive skills. The diagnoses of the disability should come before the age of 18 (Westling, Fox, & Carter, 2015).” Mathematics is a core subject area that can pose a challenge for a large amount of students in America, and especially those with severe disabilities. “According to a study, only a quarter of students with disabilities that

Teaching students with exceptional abilities requires funding, training and planning. Being in a regular classroom with children from various cultures, ethnic backgrounds and intellectual ability help students learn how to work together toward a common goal: reduce discrimination and stereotyping people with physical and mental limitations. Instructional strategies that break the work down so everyone learns better can improve education as well as reduce cost. This is achieved by including special education students in environments that will allow them to develop normal social interactions as well as receive specific attention to their learning needs.

For Amir to participate in schooling on the same basis as students without a disability, a supplementary level of adjustment needs to be made to these main areas of impact to ensure his capacity to learn is not limited. Supplementary adjustments are made at specific times to “Address the nature and impact of the student’s disability and any associated barriers to their learning, physical, communication or participatory needs.” (Australian Government Department of Education and Training (DET). n.d.) While Amir’s learning abilities and communication are at an age appropriate level, he does require some modification of worksheets and tasks to communicate his understandings of the course material without writing with pen and paper. Amir may use specialised technology to assist his learning. The time allowance in certain tasks may need to be adjusted to allow for use of this specialised equipment (Conway, 2014, p 146.). The school environment and buildings including the classroom will need to be modified for Amir to easily access the school facilities with his wheelchair. Amir may require specialised support at times but is independent at most times. For these reasons I believe a supplementary level of adjustment is most appropriate for Amir to achieve the same learning experiences as other

The programme has been planned to support pupil’s skills in Maths which will develop their numeracy skills and therefor enable them to use numbers in a variety of situations throughout their lives, calculation skills that will equip them with the skills to be independent with their own finances in many different situations, and with Problem solving skills which will enable them with the skills to manage their own finances throughout their lives, with the ability to develop their skills and understanding of the value of money and supporting them to control their finances effectively (Education Scotland 2016).

Parents and educators are unsatisfied by the governments attempt to prioritize, teaching students with severe disabilities, the general curriculum standards over functional skills curriculum. A researcher re-states a parents comments on the influence of the general standards impact on the functional progression of her child, “My son can identify Saturn but he still can’t request a snack or even wipe his ass.” Parents would like a curriculum that focuses on meeting the students’ independency with life skills rather than academic curricula. This has pushed parents to take charge of

Skills that students may learn in school and from those around them are study skills and social skills. Transition skills are taught to them through school life and learned from others around them, which allows students to learn to advocate for themselves. Study skills are important to be able to be independent and self-advocate for themselves. Parents, teachers, and paraprofessional will try different strategies for the child or student they are working with until they find something that works and then teaching that strategy to the student or their child. Students need to be taught how describe their disability, their weakness and strengths this will help a student be self-aware along with preparing them for interviews, encounters with new people that they would have to describe their disability too. Social skills are an important part of a

In today’s educational environment, all students expect to receive the same level of instruction from schools and all students must meet the same set of standards. Expectations for students with learning disabilities are the same as students without any learning difficulties. It is now unacceptable for schools or teachers to expect less from one segment of students because they have physical disabilities, learning disabilities, discipline problems, or come from poor backgrounds. Standardize testing has resulted in making every student count as much as their peers and the most positive impact has been seen with the lowest ability students. Schools have developed new approaches to reach these previously underserved students while

I am indeed very lucky to have parents who have always supported me throughout my academic career. They have always encouraged me on my achievements and have always wanted me to pursue the highest degree of education. If it was not for my friends and family, I would have not been able to make till here. Now, I want to achieve a doctorate degree so that I can make my family and my friends proud of me since not many people have the opportunities or the courage and consistency to achieve the highest degree of education.

Mathematics is the one of the most important subjects in our daily life and in most human activities the knowledge of mathematics is important. In the rapidly changing world and in the era of technology, mathematics plays an essential role. To understand the mechanized world and match with the newly developing information technology knowledge in mathematics is vital. Mathematics is the mother of all sciences. Without the knowledge of mathematics, nothing is possible in the world. The world cannot progress without mathematics. Mathematics fulfills most of the human needs related to diverse aspects of everyday life. Mathematics has been accepted as significant element of formal education from ancient period to the present day. Mathematics has a very important role in the classroom not only because of the relevance of the syllabus material, but because of the reasoning processes the student can develop.
