The Role Of FASD In Special Education

Research has provided many strategies for effective classroom instruction and lesson organization. Throughout my lesson, I used direct/ explicit instruction model that I have learned from different education courses and readings to serve as a model for my instruction. Rosenshine

I did my observations in a first grade classroom at R. L Brown Elementary school. My supervising teacher had strict guidelines about the lesson that she was allowing me to teach. Because I was doing my observation so close to the end of the year, I could only teach during the science block. She allowed my to choose between two standards. The standard I choose was LAFS.1.RI.3.9 Id( Identify basic similarities in and differences between two texts on the same).I spent a lot of time doing my lesson plan called the and different, and I tried to plan for everything possible. To be honest my lesson went okay. It was the little things that caused the most problems. I learned that actual teaching is a complex profession. There are always a million

I believe that FAPE affects my role as a special educator the most or more precisely the “appropriate” education part of FAPE. Washington State defines “appropriate” as an educational program that is designed to meet the individual educational needs and is appropriate to their age and abilities. In Washington State, more and more schools are moving toward inclusion/mainstreaming students with special needs into the general education classrooms no matter the severity of their disability. I believe that general education is not the best placement for all students with disability. As special educators, we need to determine what is appropriate education is based on the student’s abilities and needs. We should ask “Are the students with disabilities

Growing up with substance abuse parents can potentially put the children at risk for developmental deficiencies. Parents who are substance dependent are oftentimes focus on themselves over their children, and this leads to neglecting the children. Without the attachment with the parents, children are lack of security and trust to explore the outside world. According to Erik Erikson, children develop at different stage. Infants are totally dependent on their parents. If parents provide the good care and support to the children, they will develop the basic trust to their parents and the world, otherwise, they will feel insecure and develop mistrust instead. This mistrust may cause problems later in life. As children begin to grow and navigate the challenges of adolescence, parental substance abuse has a direct impact on their well-being, as well as their behavior. Teenagers are eager to seek their identities. Yet, growing up with mistrust, inferiority, and shame

This week I learned about differe\irente instruction. I also learn how to implement a lesson plan to meet the needs for each students in the classroom. Each child learning style is different one child might understand the problem one way and then another child might solve the problem a whole different way. I learned about exceptional children and how they need intensive learning and individualize learning. That why it is important to observe and know each individual child so you can support them to the bset of their ability. My host teacher used different strategies to help the students understand the problem. When I did my lesson plan if was a challenge and time consumer.I likle how the lesson plan met the needs of the children. The teacher put the students in different groups so they acn help each other learn. Sometimes children learn best and better from other children.My host teachger explain to me that

Another considerable factor of this problem is the influence these substances have on children. Alcoholism in the home is an extremely hard issue to cope with as a child. Domestic violence, which is often worsened by alcohol abuse, causes a lot of mental issues that affect children permanently. Many kids do not have a stable home and are forced to see their parents and loved ones struggle with drinking (Hopkins 7). Suffering through the effects of drugs and alcohol also make education a challenge. Children often times stay home from school or are inattentive during class due to lack of sleep from late-night parties or rowdiness at home.This makes it almost impossible to succeed later in life and lets the problem continue onto the next generation.

Based on David’s substance use problem, there are two learning issues that I would like to mainly focus

The field of FASD research is growing rapidly and includes medical researchers, diagnosticians, social scientists, educators, social service agencies, community-based organizations, public health experts, justice practitioners and scholars. In this multidisciplinary field, the focus is on the role of alcohol during pregnancy and the impact of FASD on the individual, family, and society. The FASD Center for Excellence held a series of town hall meetings in 2002 and 2003 with individuals who have an FASD, their families and caregivers, service providers, researchers, policymakers, and community leaders. The purpose of the meetings where to identify needs, share information that prevent and treat FASD. More than 800 people participated across

Every generation that is born is the future of the world. We evolve as a society as one, we build each other up for the future. The source of this extravagant outcome is people, but we cannot succeed as a whole if there are individuals who are suffering and are in need of help. Some who need help and guidance are children of alcoholics (COA’s), they bear the time they live with their parents and they do not receive help in the process. These children go through so many different issues with family, school, their social, physical and mental wellbeing. Children of alcoholics growing into adulthood have negative outcomes that can be diminished by school administration taking a stand to exhibit attention and support to the situation. The schools can contribute tremendously by having guest speakers to talk about the subject, and by introducing a counseling profession that can have a thorough background, plus a program or organization that is able to connect with these children to help and support them.

During our class of addiction we talk about the role that each person play in the family in regards to addiction. According to the chemically dependent family model we have C.P. person, Hero, Mascot, Enabler, Scape Goat and Lost Child Passive adult each of them has issues that they are struggling within themselves. When doing family therapy for family with alcohol addiction you will see and understand this model.

In general, how successful was the lesson? Did the students learn what you intended for them to learn? How do you know?

The whole family can get shattered into pieces due to the teenagers substance abuse problem. Parents fall out with each other over how to handle the situation, while other children are blamed for being a bad example. The teenager with the drug problem get so much attention that the other children get neglected.

Connors-Burrow et al. (2009), there were approximately 5.1% number of children living with parents of substance dependence and the remaining percentage living with parents of substance misuse (Conners-Burrow et al., 2013). It is this percentage of children whose normal development has been interrupted by the substance abuse and with the appropriate and supportive interventions, these children can obtain a feeling of acceptance and attachment security to their parents/parental guardians. (Where is your thesis?)

As Margaret Barrow and Edward P. Riley (2011) stated that children who have FASD are likely to have smooth philtrum, thin upper lip, and besides they have sleepy eyes, anteverted nares, midface, hypoplasia, flat nasal bridge, ptosis, and strabismus. What described previously are the physical features of the children who have FAS. More into that, the condition affects the central nervous system, which can impair the children’s ability to learn. “Many children with FASD are described as talkative, short-tempered, impulsive and intrusive with reduced social abilities in cognition and emotion processing” (Dorrie, Focker, Freunscht, & Hebebrand, 2014). Some sources pointed out that children with this condition are having a hard time to make friends or following the directions given by their

Students’ who are subjected to this environment can have issues as a direct result of this drug and also additional issues resulting from family members who are suffering from addiction. Babies from mothers who use methamphetamine during the time of pregnancy has a higher rate for premature birth and/or full term babies that exhibit behaviors/symptoms of a premature baby (i.e. trouble swallowing, etc.) and have a higher rate of mental disabilities (Norquist & Spalding, 2012). Children are often subjected to many health problems due to exposure to harmful, dangerous chemicals used to make methamphetamine and/or to the actual drug from the toxic residue that remains during the cooking process (Norquist& Spalding, 2012). According to Norquist and Spalding (2012), many children suffer abuse, neglected of basic necessities (i.e. food, sleep, etc.), treated with aggressive actions, suffer emotional and behavioral issues, etc. (Norquist & Spalding, 2012). Many of these children struggle in school because they are not coming prepared to learn and do not have the proper support outside of the classroom. Many of them are lacking sleep and food. These are huge distractions that hinder children learning because the results are often a lack of concentration and/or focus. Children from methamphetamine homes often come to school showing signs of physical aggression. According to Haight, Black, and Sheridan (2010), these students’ tend to display externalizing behavior disorders. (Haight, Black, & Sheridan, 2010). These at-risk students tend to deal with problems using punching, kicking, chocking, pulling hair, bullying, not following rules/routines, impulsive tendencies, lying, cheating, fighting their own substance abuse, etc. All of these issues can affect students’ learning and learning of those students’ in the classroom
