Mark’s Student Profile and Case Study Nicole Barrett, Jaime Bell, Danielle Burns, Kristel Gallagher, and Brianne Panebianco Background Information: Mark Freeman is a nine year old fourth grade third month male student at Bill Clinton Elementary School. Mark was born on July 29, 2005. Mark is in a general education classroom, but is having difficulties in the areas of reading and writing. Marks classification is a specific learning disability in reading and writing. Mark’s health has always been in the normal range with no vision, hearing, or motor difficulties. Academic Information: Mark is a fourth grader in a general education classroom. The reason for this initial evaluation was that he was displaying difficulties in reading - especially vocabulary, reading, and comprehension – and in writing mechanics. He was given a variety of tests to evaluate his academic performance. A speech-language pathologist gave Mark the Test of Language Development-Intermediate: 3 (TOLD-1:3) to test different components of his spoken language skills. Mark performed within the average range on all the subtests. A school psychologist administered the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children III, in which Mark performed within the average range. His standard score for Verbal IQ was 92, for Performance IQ he received a standard score of 107, and he got a standard Full Scale IQ score of 102. The special education teacher administered both the Woodcock-Johnson Psycho-Educational
Many children await the day when they can be considered grown up. For them it represents a time where they possess more rights and privileges. However, for middle children which are between the ages of 7 through12 this time may seem more like a nightmare because it marks the time when they undergo physical and mental changes. These physical and mental changes have a major impact on their development. The subject in this scenario is a little boy named Mark who is being bullied at school by a group of older boys to the point that he has received bruises from the encounters. As a result, Mark dislikes going to school for the fear of being embarrassed or hurt and the looming threat of recurring bodily harm if he asks for help from the teachers. This situation has become so serious that Mark is barely eating and has withdrawn himself from his peers in efforts to avoid the boys who are bulling him. After examining the above scenario, this paper will explain Mark’s different issues based on signs of biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial development and discuss what should be done to help Mark succeed in his current situation based on research.
Indeed, some research indicates that if a child who reads slowly has IQ scores that are above average, that child might receive services under IDEA based on the discrepancy between the IQ scores and the reading ability. On the other hand, another child who also reads slowly but has IQ scores that are average may not receive any services because of the lack of a significant discrepancy. Such approaches to assessment may clearly result in some children who need services not getting them while others who do not need them will receive them” (Pasternack, 2002).
The applicants are morally correct as long as their action promotes their long term interest. If their action produces or will produce for them a greater outcome of good, versus evil in the long hall than any other alternative, than that action is the right one to act on, and the individual should take that to be a moral act.

The two options for identifying students with disabilities are RTI model and the IQ-Achievement discrepancy model. The RTI model is a multi-tiered approach to identifying students with disabilities. With this approach the amount of students who are identified as having a learning disability has decreased because of the support students receive at different tiers and it eliminates inadequate instruction as the reason for reading problems. Universal screening and high quality teaching is done for all students. Students who show that they need additional help receive tier 1 services where frequency and intensity increases. Students are monitored and receive research based instruction in the general education classroom. Some students may still struggle and have to receive more intensive and frequent service. Those students will receive supplemental support from an educational professional. Tier 3 services are provided to students who still struggle and need even more intensive service. Students may also qualify for special education services. The IQ-Achievement discrepancy model is used to determine if a disability is present. Standardized tests are used to eliminate low intellectual ablity as a determining cause for reading problems. With this model, a professional assess whether there is a discrepancy between a student’s scores on an iq test and scores obtained from areas
Learning disabilities are a life long struggle but if caught at a young age and early intervention takes place. The stress on the child and family is greatly reduced. Learning disabilities spread to every part of a child’s life affecting them socially. Teachers must remain professional and refrain from calling students lazy as in Adams case. A good teacher or specialist can demystify a learning disability and help a child’s
Bob Schmoe is a 34-year-old Caucasian male who was referred by his Department of Rehabilitation caseworker for an evaluation. His intelligence was measured using the Wechsler Abbreviated Scales of Intelligence (WASI). There were four subtests measured, two of which were verbal and the other two were non-verbal. Bob’s nonverbal abilities, specific analyses of subtest scores and math computation skills showed both fell within the low average range. Bob’s visual spatial skills fell within the low average range as well. In addition, Bob’s spelling skills fell within the borderline range. Lastly, Bob scored highest in his verbal comprehension and word reading even though both fell within the average percentile of his age group. Altogether,

Regarding Pennsaid 2% 3.8 fluid ounces 1 pump with no refill, ODG states that Pennsaid (diclofenac topical solution 1.5% containing 45.5% dimithyl sulfoxide) is FDA-approved for osteoarthritis of the knee. However, ODG then goes on to state that Pennsaid is not recommended as a first-line treatment; topical diclofenac is recommended for osteoarthritis after failure of an oral NSAID or contraindications to oral NSAIDs, and after considering the increased risk profile with diclofenac, including topical formulations. This is a chronic pain patient and it is noted that the patient has contraindication to oral NSAIDs, due to history of gastric bypass. However, there is no evidence that the patient’s complaints are osteoarthritic in nature. In addition, imaging reports were not provided. 12/15/15 notice of certification by Arissa indicated that Vicodin was approved. The latest progress note also mentioned that the patient is currently on Voltaren gel for pain control. It
