Impact Of Students ' Disabilities Have On Families

I never put too much thought into the reaction I give if someone tells me their child has a disability therefore, never noticed if they showed distaste to any apology or sympathy I offered. I’m sure that I am not the only one who has not meant any harm by these things, but the article helps see the situation from the opposing parent’s point of view which offers enlightenment on how to handle future encounters to ensure everyone is comfortable and the language isn’t ignominious. I intend to utilize the wisdom I’ve learned from Ms. Snow’s article in my own classroom one day. Along with her words I now feel inclined to do further research on how to better create lessons, organize my classroom, and provide the proper tools as well as become a support system for any student with any kind of disability both learning and

I believe that the parents of children with disabilities play a pivotal roll in the educational and social development of their children. When a child is diagnosed with a disability it leaves the parent with a lot of responsibility and difficult decisions to make. When parents start planning to have children, most of them do not expect to have a child with special needs. It is the parents’ responsibility to provide everything that they are capable of to give the child what they need to succeed regardless of what those needs may be.

When an English Language Learner either goes to school for the first time or finds themselves at a new school, they are assessed. Many times these ELL students are put in the wrong classes or programs. This is a constant issue still today. "Disproportionality is considered one of the most complex issues in the field of special education. Disproportionality is defined as the “overrepresentation” and “under-representation” of a particular population or demographic group in special or gifted education programs relative to the presence of this group in the overall student population" (National Education Association, 2007, p. 6).

Specific strategies apply to specific learning disabilities. It is important to know how to accommodate disabled’s needs and differentiate instruction. When developing a teaching for people with disabilities, the nurse assess the need for family involvement and advocacy because the nurse must work together with the family to assess learning needs, and create an environment that will heighten learning Bastable (2014). One of the most effective means of ensuring successful teaching is to engage families in their

From the first day a child is born, parents are there to nurture their child, to support them as they grow and develop. There is a lot to learn about raising a child under normal circumstances, but when a child has special needs parents must learn this whole new language of medical and special education terms (Overton, 2005). Parents enter this new world where navigating for the best interest of their child is riddled with challenges and obstacles that they need to somehow overcome. This is especially true when parents are dealing with the special education program in their child’s school.

The important to promote family involvement in educational settings for children with disabilities. That was the topic of class CE 220 unit 6 project 9 that I had to focus on. I choose this artifact because it demonstrates the disorders that a family with a disabled child has to face every day. In my assignment I was instructed to list three pacific disorders that cause physical and mental development delays. My artifacts shows delays in their cognitive skills and their effects on a child’s developmental growth, and the disorder of muscle movement, muscle tone, and posture due to abnormal brain development. Being aware of the different obstacles a child and the parent deal with make it essential that I promote family involvement. I recall studying the different disabilities that children had, and the many obstacles they faced daily, I could relate to their situation because I have a close family member struggling to do simply things we take for granted. What a tremendous challenge for them and their family members. As an educator, I now promote family involvement in

Note* other States and Territories within the Commonwealth have separate legalisations and Acts which have been passed in by their representing government.

Every student deserves an equal and adequate learning experience, especially if they have an IEP or undiagnosed learning or physical disability. Doing whatever we can for our students should really always be a priority even when we have an entire class to look after and worry about. One of the reoccurring themes that have shown up in all of my research focuses on the students’ capabilities and how as teachers we can work with their strengths and weaknesses to help them succeed. Since students classified with ED have a poor record of success in academic achievement their learning environments must always be considered as well as their family dynamics and general traits.

Having a child with a severe disability can have a profound effects on families which can lead to stress, anxiety and relationship issues to the families.

Coming from a school where parents have a hard time valuing their child with a disability and comparing how supportive parents are in the Bryan-College Station area was truly a culture shock. From my experience, I believe that the parents of disabled children in the Bryan-College Station area have a better understanding and attitudes toward the goals that are set for their children and a belief that these goals are achievable, however I did not have the same positive experience in the school district from which I graduated. The philosophy that I witnessed growing up was that several parents would try to use their child’s disability as an excuse to get them further in

The study methodology used in this review is qualitative Description. The research method and design align with the problem statement, purpose, research questions, and hypotheses/phenomena. The aim of this study is to investigate the collaboration of families, schools, and teachers to the critical academic and social development of students with disabilities, especially when parents and teachers differ in ethnic, racial, and cultural backgrounds. This concept of alignment does align with my dissertation literature review on “Teachers Perceptions of Disabled and “ESL” Students in Urban Schools District, and its Influence on Families.” The concept is necessitating; it prepares educators to address the needs of diverse students and family members.

Having a child with a disability can cause various hardships on a family. Families with a child with a disability can cause strains on finances, parental employment, and relationships within the family. After analyzing research done by a variety of sources the following essay should convey the findings in regard to the affects raising a child with a disability has on a family. One idea to keep in mind is disabilities have a variety of different impacts on a family, not all will impact a family the same way.

Getting involved in your child's school is not as difficult as you may think. Even a little school involvement by parents can have a positive impact on a child's academic success and on their future when they have a disability. Congress made parent involvement a key component of the Education of the Handicapped Children Act, the original federal special education law (Heward, 1996). Parent involvement activities are encouraged and provided by schools. These particular activities often encourage parents in working on behalf of their child’s learning and development.

However, they recognise the benefits of inclusion for socialising and fostering tolerance (Walker, Bunbar, Meldrum, Whiteford, Carrington, Hand, Berthelsen, Nicholson, 2012). In addition, parents recognise the benefits to language, confidence in peer interactions, and academic achievement (Walker et al., 2012). The main concern for parents of children with disabilities is the school’s level of preparedness (Walker et al., 2012). As part of the school’s state of preparedness, parents worry about the skills and knowledge of school staff (Walker et al.,

Schooling for the disabled requires a special environment—one that only a few teachers have the gift to care for. Instead of looking out for the child’s
