Sd Case Study Of Education

Education is widely considered a professional field of work. However, in South Dakota it doesn’t seem to be treated like one. Funding per student in South Dakota is significantly lower than the national amount, as well as the amount surrounding states give per student. In fact, according to the South Dakota Budget and Policy Institute funding per student is $2,000 less in South Dakota than the national average, and surrounding states give about $5,000 more per student than South Dakota. Investing in the future will eventually result in a more prosperous and productive society. As Elizabeth Warren, a senator from Massachusetts, once said: “How do you think we build a future? I think we build it by investing in our kids and investing in

Rad Korsaski is an 11-year old male student with parental instability and documented Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). After reviewing Rad’s records from previous schools, I learned Rad often missed school or skipped school. Even though Rad was disruptive and often inattentive, I could see he was smarter than his records indicated. Though Rad’s father and his record states he’d been diagnosed with ADHD, even with medication he often displayed significant difficulties with poor attention, impulsivity and overactive/inappropriate behaviors. Though having ADHD was a contributing factor to his conduct, Rad showed more frequently, and more severe rates of inappropriate behaviors than those exhibited by his peers. He is very

One of the many different types of developmental disabilities that a student can be diagnosed is ADHD. In Jun (2009, p.2003) “attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a genuine neurobiological disorder that results in functional impairment of daily activities due to hyperactivity and inattention.” It is exceptionally important for concise communication between the teacher and

After reading chapter 7 I noticed many important ideas that I did not come across before and are very interesting. The first concept I learned about ADHD is that it’s not currently recognized as a discrete disability under IDEA legislation; however, young students may still be eligible for a special education. In the course textbook, it mentions “ADHD as a condition that renders an individual eligible for services under the rubric other health impairments” (Gargiulo 241). Secondly, this chapter lists suspicions such as neurological dysfunction, heredity, and environmental factors as the causes of ADHD. I believe that because professionals are still unsure of what causes attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, teachers and educators should know and recognize those students and offer services, support and accommodations.

This student’s refusal to attend school might be for a variety of different reasons. There could be issues at home or at school that are causing this student to withdraw. The parent is an important member of the team and will be able to provide insight into what is happening in the home prior to attempting to get the student to attend school each morning. The other members of the team may be able to add insight into anything that might be happening during the school day that might cause the student to avoid school. The school psychologist should be invited to attend this meeting along with anyone else that might be able to add insight. The team may

In today’s elementary and middle schools across the country, students are being diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (A.D.H.D.) in staggering numbers. It is the most commonly diagnosed mental disorder for children. Young children are being prescribed psychotropic drugs even though formal testing is not available for accurate A.D.H.D. diagnosis. There has been growing controversy between, physicians, pharmaceutical companies, parents and educators about proper diagnosis tools and treatment for A.D.H.D. Many argue that the testing tools are too subjective which leads to false diagnoses and that other treatments beside medication should be delivered first. Others believe that clear diagnoses can be made and that medication
