F. Scott's Case Summary

Autism is most commonly described as a developmental disability that is diagnosed over a broad spectrum of impairment and identifiers; and within the first three to five years of life. The number of cases of ASD have steadily grown over the past several decades and can be seen in 1 in every 88 births (Ogletree, Morrow-Odom, &

Diagnosis criteria for autism has changed frequently over the years as research provides better understanding. Dr. Adrienne Perry and Rosemary Condillac in their guide indicates it is important that the whole assessment process be tied to the most recent professional literature and the process be based on evidence-based evaluation of measures and procedures. Clinical practice should be consistent with relevant legislation, professional college regulations, standards, and ethics. In Ontario, RHPA requires that diagnosis may only be performed by registered professionals of the College of Psychologists or the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons. (Perry & Condillac, 2003)

Marisol’s son Jason had been recommended for services for almost seven months by school teacher and supporting staff. Throughout his year in Pre- K, his teacher documented several incidents which lead her to believe he needed to be evaluated for special education. He was not reaching academic milestones for his age. In response, Marisol felt that she was being pressured into rushing an evaluation and thought her son deserved to meet the milestones at his own pace. Marisol delayed the evaluation process by not submitting necessary consent and paper promptly. When asked what hopes or fears she had about special education, she expressed fears of Jason being treated different not only by teachers and peers, but by relatives and friends. She noted that she also did not feel well- informed on the process of evaluation and allocation of services when asked about what would help calm her fears. Marisol explained that she just needed a meeting where every question she had would be answered with knowledge, exactitude, and expertise. After Jason’s behavior led to a teacher injury, Marisol felt forced to allow the evaluation process to begin. Jason, who is now five years old, was placed in a twelve-to-one Kindergarten setting upon

Diagnosis. The earliest indicators of autism are impairments of verbal and nonverbal communication. A child with autism will have difficulties responding to their name, smiling and making eye contact, babbling or cooing by twelve months, and using single or two word phrases by twenty-four months (NIMH, n.d.). A proper diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is a two part process. The child is first given a general screening to check for developmental issues. If the child is not making satisfactory developmental progress according to his or her age group, the child would be referred for additional screening. At this stage, the child will need to be screened to check for specific symptoms of autism. The screening can be based solely on the parent’s observation of the

In this mock IEP meeting, we examine John Grohman from Kelsey Elementary School. John is a 2nd grade student who has Asperger’s Syndrome. He is a student who has extreme behavioral problems. John’s parents are extremely concerned about his behavior at home and at school. In this mock IEP, we look at John from his parents, special education teacher, administrator, general education teacher, and evaluator; to get a better picture of what is needed to help John be successful.

The ABAS II is a comprehensive measure that assesses an individual’s behavior scale. It was developed by Patti Harrison and Thomas Oakland based on information gathered in a matter of eight years. The standardization has samples for the Parent/Primary Caregiver and Teacher/Daycare Provider Forms for children ages birth to five years comprised 2,100 individuals. The standardization samples for the Parent and Teacher Forms, and Adult Form is comprised of 5,270 individuals that represent the U.S. population. (Harrison & Oakland, 2008) ABAS-II was designed to assess how a person responds to daily demands, and to determine eligibility for services. The ABAS-II has new features in its test that encompass infant-pre-school rating forms, and it has an expanded structure that focuses on the current American Association of Mental Retardation (AAMR).

The Dred Scott Decision was a famous Supreme Court case deciding over the rule of slavery in newly discovered territory. The decision occurred in 1857 and affirmed that slaveholders should have the right to take their slaves to the west . The Decision took three attempts to finally reach a decision of whether an African American living in recently developed land should be free or not. Below I will discuss the life of Dred Scott, the Scott v. Emerson Case, and the Scott v. Sandford Case, and what happened to slavery in the proceeding decades.

Corpus Christi Independent School District, 1995 the attendees were, John E. Buser, Jr. (an autistic twenty-nine-year-old-man), John E Buser, Sr., Virginia Buser, and the Corpus Christi ISD personnel (Shirley Selz, Gary Thomasson, Hall and Marks). From 1985-86 school year, John Jr.’s parents participated in ARD and IEPs committee meetings for students with disabilities. The IEPs are important and critical to the parent participation in provide parents with opportunities to engage in discussion about their child and offer their opinion for recommendations (Lecture 5). The parents disagreed and agreed in the meetings with the proposed IEPs but in April of 1986 the participated in an ARD meeting where they did not agree with the ARD committee’s recommendations for their son. This was then brought to

The case of Dred Scott v. Sanford depicts how a Black-American struggles for his right to become a free man. The Missouri Compromise of 1820 was ignored in the case. On the other had the case of Korematsu v. United States shows a clear violation of amendments in the U.S constitution. The citizenship of Japanese Americans is questioned in the case. By analyzing the decision made in the cases of Dred Scott and Korematsu, were a clear violation of U.S constitution. This is significant because Dred Scott and Korematsu demonstrated the essence of racial biasness.

Abraham Lincoln was elected only to make the decision if southern slave states would secede from the war. His election would stop all spreading of slavery, which led to conflict between the North and South. The election year of 1860 was complicated, for each party split over the idea of spreading slavery or not. Popular sovereignty became a plan of action exposed by Stephen Douglas. The Dred Scott case resulted in a decision that congress had no power to limit the spread. In addition, other parties refused to take a stand on the issue. Lincoln proclaimed after his election he agreed not to touch slavery where it existed. After this, southerners stopped believing other parties and lost their trust and respect for the president and federal government.

According to an interview conducted by MarketWatch with London, he confessed that he was just thinking about trying to help out a friend. He thought what they were doing was small. He claimed he didn’t ever want anything. Nor did he know the volumes Shaw was trading at.

After a student is suspected of having a disability, a multi-disciplinary team typically meets to determine whether an evaluation is warranted. If the team members decide the student should be evaluated, the school must obtain informed consent from the student’s parents before any personalized testing occurs. However, if parents refuse consent for the initial evaluation or fail to respond to the request to provide consent, the district may file a formal complaint with the state education agency to resolve the issue and possibly to authorize an evaluation. Evaluations must be completed in a timely manner, usually within sixty days of receiving parental consent.

This paper will seek to analyze the financial statements of the O.M Scott & Sons Company during the years 1957-1961, in order to provide readers with a thorough understanding of the various factors that may influence the future success of this business. Additionally, recommendations based on an analysis of their financial

Autism is a complex disability, as the way it manifests in each child differs in severity across numerous characteristics. Children diagnosed with autism qualify to receive special services and a “free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment” under the federal legislation, Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Hunt & Marshall, 2012, p. 15). Autism was added to IDEA in 1990 as a new disability category. The legislation defines autism as “a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age 3 that adversely affects a child’s educational performance” (Hunt & Marshall, 2012, p. 301). The “Rules for the Provision of Special Education” from the State Superintendent of Public Instruction of Washington state also outlines eligibility and individualized education programs for children diagnosed with autism (Rules for the Provision of Special Education, p. 11 & 46). Furthermore, the DSM diagnoses autism when a child shows “qualitative impairments” in social interaction, communication, and “restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests and activities” (Hunt & Marshall, 2012, p. 302).
