The staff are expected to assist CDC students with personal and hygiene skills and to eat lunch with the students. In the class I observed there was a total of 8 students from all 3 grades 6 through 8, and the class was evenly spilt by gender. All students were White. The classroom was the same size as the other standard classrooms at the school, however seating was arranged in groups. Rather than individual desk and chairs lined up to face the blackboard, desks were arranged to accommodate four students per grouping. Two teachers had desks at opposite ends of the room. There were plenty of administrative products in open faced shelving, as well as a plenty of art supplies. The classroom was bright, airy and very colorful. Artwork done by the students dawned the walls. The classroom was situated on the ground floor of the school allowing for easy access. There was also a private bathroom off the classroom, just a few feet from any desk. Each student had a laptop except for the student with cerebral palsy. All students were intellectually disabled, and one had autism. Assisting the students were one male teacher, one male and one female teacher’s aides and an 8th grade female student teacher’s assistant who was with the student with cerebral palsy the entire time. All of them were active throughout the class. I witnessed little to no student’s disruptions and when there were, the students...

Athetoid diplegia: A form of cerebral palsy primarily seen where there is no muscle control in which the legs are more affected than the arms. 6. Athetoid hemiplegia: A form of cerebral palsy which is a form of dyskinetic cerebral palsy associated with athetosis (constant random, writhing involuntary movements of the limbs. One side of the body is more affected than the other; usually, the arm is more affected than the leg. Because the motor neurons that control one side of the body are located in the opposite cerebral cortex, a right-side hemiplegia implies damage to or dysfunction of the left side of the brain, and vice versa. 7.

...Ethics Case Study: Dax’s Case Cindy Siegel Did Dax have an ethical right to refuse care? A legal right? Why/why not? Using the Ethical Analysis Paradigm from class slides; there are four principles that need to be addressed in order to reach an ethical decision. • Medical Indications – diagnosis, prognosis, treatment option o Dax had severe burns to 65% of his body, including his face, hands, eyes o Without treatment and allowed to return home, would likely result in death from infection • Patient Preferences – preferences and values, capacity to decide, informed o Repeatedly demanded that treatment be discontinued o Demanded to be discharged to home o Informed of risks and refused treatment o Had capacity to make and communicate decisions • Quality of Life – as experienced by patient o Excruciatingly painful treatments o Amputation of several fingers – minimal use of hands o Blind o Dependent on others • Contextual Factors – family, law, financial o Legal right to refuse treatment At issue is Dax’s ethical right to refuse care. While he may not have made the choice that physicians and/or hospitals would, he has a fundamental right to make choices concerning his treatment and there should be respect for his autonomy in doing so. Physicians, who take an oath to “First do not harm...,” may struggle with their ethical viewpoints, however, this decision is about Dax’s ethical right, not theirs. Since Dax is presumed competent, he does have the ethical right to refuse care,...

...Assessed & Supported Year in Employment Fictional case study Case study: ‘Lisa’ Lisa is a newly qualified social worker who has recently joined the Newfield Children with Disability team. Lisa met her line manager, Jules, and her ASYE assessor, Frank, in her first week in the Newfield Children with Disability team. In the meeting they developed a learning agreement for Lisa’s ASYE. Lisa brought to the meeting a copy of a report from her final placement whilst at university. The report shows that Lisa is an enthusiastic and promising social worker with a good knowledge of social work theory; however, she has not worked in a Children with Disability team before so Frank and Jules agree to provide Lisa with a detailed induction. The learning agreement also set out that Frank and Lisa will meet on a monthly basis to review her work and draw together the assessment evidence for the year. This will be in addition to the supervision that Lisa will have with Jules; they will meet weekly for the first six weeks. In the section of the learning agreement on quality assurance, Jules is named as a third partner who will offer additional support and insight. Based on this, Lisa, Jules and Frank agree to meet together every other month. Lisa and Frank will also have formal review meetings at three and six months. At the end of Lisa’s second month at Newfield, she meets Frank to review her progress. As well as meeting to draw up the learning agreement, they have had a further meeting to discuss...

Experiments to determine the effects of changes in hours and other working conditions on productivity, relay assembly test room experiments, 1927-28; 3. Conducting plant-wide interviews to determine worker attitudes and sentiments, mass interviewing programme, 1928-30; and 4. Determination and analysis of social organisation at work, bank wiring observation room experiments, 1931-32. 1. Illumination Experiments: Illumination experiments were undertaken to find out how varying levels of illumination (amount of light at the workplace, a physical factor) affected the productivity. The hypothesis was that with higher illumination, productivity will increase. In the first series of experiments, a group of workers was chosen and placed in two separate groups. One group was exposed to varying intensities of illumination. Since this group was subjected to experimental changes, it was termed as experimental group. Another group, called as control group, continued to work under constant intensities of illumination. The researchers found that as they increased the illumination in the experimental group, both groups increased production. When the intensity...

...Aging and Disability Worksheet Identify 2 or 3 issues faced by the aging population. 1. Unequal treatment in employment - Poverty 2. Face prejudice and discrimination - Ageism 3. Face isolation – Elderly Abuse * What is ageism? How does ageism influence the presence of diversity in society? Ageism is the practice of prejudice of discrimination to the elderly. The way that ageism influences the presence of diversity in society is by robbing them of their choices, independence and treating them with disrespect. Also by treating them as if they are unable to handle things for themselves as if they have reverted back to an infantile stage. It should be noted that the elderly have a lot of knowledge and wisdom to bring to the table and are able to do the same if not more than society gives them credit for. Society also views elderly people as sickly, frail and unable to take care of themselves. * What is the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)? How does the ADA address issues for the aging population? The ADA is a civil rights law that was enacted in 1990 and that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. This law addresses the issues for the aging population by protecting anyone that is 40+ from being fired or from employment discrimination. It is designed to protect the aging and/or elderly from being passed over for a promotion or raise, however, it is difficult. This law does in fact protect against being fired...

...My Philosophical View on Gattaca My Philosophical View on Gattaca I personally always thought that knowing what would happen to me and my life would be a great way to avoid the problems that I might encounter, but after watching Gattaca (1997), I am absolutely glad that I get to face even the smallest challenges in my life. Gattaca (1997) is a good movie overall, but to think of the problems I face on a daily basis makes me glad I am a “God child”, (Gattaca, 1997). In the movie any child born that has not been confirmed by a geneticist of being perfect, or as close as possible to perfect, is known as a “God child, degenerate, faith birth, or in-valid”, (Gattaca, 1997) and any child that is confirmed by a geneticist, to be perfect, is known as a “valid”, (Gattaca, 1997) child or person. Gattaca (1997) is actually a company that runs a space program and only hires “valid” individuals to work for them, because they will be going into space and the directors of Gattaca (1997) do not want anyone that would have a genetic defect and that may possibly pass away while travelling to their destination or while they are in space. The movie Gattaca (1997) is a good film to watch to learn what geneticists need to stay away from. The following is my view on the philosophical problems with the movie Gattaca (1997) and to show that genetics should be left to God, or whoever, and not to humans. The whole premise of the movie, Gattaca (1997), is how...

Impairment is a problem in body function or structure; an activity limitation is a difficulty encountered by an individual in executing a task or action; while a participation restriction is a problem experienced by an individual in involvement in life situations. Thus disability is a complex phenomenon, reflecting an interaction between features of a person’s body and features of the society in which he or she lives.” Disabled people the world over experience discrimination and inequality.
