...Grand Canyon University Purpose of Intervention There is a fundamental belief that every child has value and that every child should be accounted for in terms of providing a quality education. Schools have had trouble trying to embrace the notion that no student should be allowed to fail. Leadership with in any school should embrace the philosophy that no student should be allowed to fail and apply it to the school culture and implement a program that coordinates the schools’ s mission statement of maximizing achievement with the school improvement goals. In 2006, pyramid of intervention was a response to the intervention component of the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act (IDEIA). Response to Intervention or (RTI) is often associated with Pyramid of Intervention using a continuum-based process that focuses on access to high quality, evidence based instruction, data-driven decision making, a tiered model of supports and a systems level approach to improving academic and behavioral outcomes (McIntosh, 2011). Pyramid of Intervention This pyramid came out of the IDEIA law that wanted to address increasingly diverse classrooms and the demands and opportunities of what has come to be coined “21st century learning.” There is a prevailing thought that the high-quality inclusive education is an issue of social justice and important to developing the human capital that is needed in today’s societies. What has emerged is a growing preference towards empowering the...

The challenge facing weak health systems is how to deliver such packages. Experiences from countries such as Iran, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and China, and from projects in countries like Tanzania and India, show that outcomes in maternal, newborn, and child health can be improved through integrated packages of cost-effective health-care interventions that are implemented incrementally in accordance with the capacity of health systems. Such packages should include community-based interventions that act in combination with social protection and intersectoral action in education, infrastructure, and poverty reduction. Interventions need to be planned and implemented at the district level, which requires strengthening of district planning and management...

...NURSING CARE PLAN GOAL The Child with Bacterial Meningitis RATIONALE EXPECTED OUTCOME INTERVENTION 1. Inability to Sustain Spontaneous Ventilation related to level of consciousness NIC Priority Intervention: Respiratory Monitoring: Collection and analysis of patient data to assure airway patency and adequate gas exchange. The child’s respiratory failure does not progress to respiratory arrest. ■ NOC Suggested Outcome: Vital Sign Status: Pulse, respiration, and blood pressure are within expected range for age. ■ Place the child on a cardiorespiratory monitor with a 20-second alarm. Have resuscitation equipment, including oxygen, resuscitation bag with mask, and suction apparatus at bedside. Stimulate child if apneic; if no response, begin manual ventilations and call for emergency resuscitation. The alarm on the monitor alerts staff that the child is having bradycardia or an apneic spell. Equipment should be at bedside in case of respiratory arrest. Bag-valve mask ventilation is recommended as the child’s respiratory secretions contain bacteria. Stimulation may encourage spontaneous respirations; if not, ventilation is necessary. Calling for emergency resuscitation ensures help in managing the child in a timely manner. The apneic child may have bradycardia resulting from cardiac hypoxia. The child’s respiratory failure is easily managed with prompt assessment and treatment. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Monitor heart rate and perform compressions if necessary...

...its’ prime. Increased mental and physical stimulated offered to a child during this time, the greater the chances of increased developmental growth. Attitudes have changed over the last few decades in regards to children with disabilities. Instead of hiding or ignoring the disability, models of advocacy and early intervention are espoused as being key to helping disabled children have academic success and also learn the social and life skills needed to transition in their adult lives. Introduction: Many years ago, when a child exhibited a potential developmental disability parents were advised to let a child ‘grow-out of it’. As the field of special education has evolved and grown, it readily acknowledged that catching issues early, not ignoring them, is the most effective way to help the child. “Early childhood experts agree that the earlier intervention begins, the better. Child development expert Burton White, who has conducted years of research with typically developing infants and preschoolers at Harvard University’s Preschool Project, believes that the period between 8 months and 3 years is critical to cognitive and social development:“to begin to look at a child’s educational development when he is 2 years of age is already much too late”(Heward, 2009, p. 535). The consensus, however seems to be that the earlier a deficiency or disability is discovered the better chances for helping a child learn to navigate the world to come. So now that the mode of thinking...

...Introduction As America’s educational system continues to strengthen and develop, a focus on individualized instruction and intervention within the regular education classroom has been brought forth in an attempt to keep struggling students from falling behind. This specific additional instruction and intervention, known as Response to Intervention in most states (RtI), is not only viewed as a push towards the improvement of education for all students, but is also being used as the means by which decisions regarding a student’s special education eligibility is based upon. However, for such a program to ultimately be beneficial, it will be up to the schools to ensure that the education professionals are putting forth significant effort in using the most appropriate type of intervention for that specific student. It will be the RtI team’s duty to define the student’s problem, plan an intervention, implement the intervention, and regularly evaluate the student’s progress (Martinez & Young, 2011, p. 44). Various interventions should be attempted if the scheduled improvement is not initially apparent. Statement of the Problem The groundbreaking passage of the Education for All Handicapped Children Act in 1975, the long overdue act which provided official protection of the rights and individual needs of those with disabilities within the educational system, sparked the remarkable increase of students being quickly diagnosed with a learning disability in whatever subject the...

...draw up a care plan that put them at the most minimal risk. Even though it is immpossible to rule out all risk it is the clinicians duty to protect the patient to the maximum of their capacity and not put the patient in any unneccesary danger. (NHS 2007) Adapted from NHS guidance reference number 0555: Health risk assessment made easy Description It was towards the end of the day when a concerned mother turned up with her twelve month old infant who was asleep at the time and did not look too distressed. The baby’s mother explained how he had for the past couple of days gone off his milk and had had numerous episodes of vomiting. He was however still taking other food such as yoghurt and biscuits but also in much reduced quantities than before. The GP then did a full physical exam on the child and found he had no fever, rashes, altered breathing or significant dehydration. She then went on to reassure the mother that she was not overly concerned as she could not find anything worrying on her examination. She explained to the mother that as long as he had some food intake his appetite would eventually return to normal and she should keep encouraging him to take the food he would eat. At this point it was clear the mother was not happy and had anticipated so much more to be done. On realising this, the GP then offered the mom a return visit in the evening to check up on how the child had progressed...

... Grand Canyon University: Ethical Decision Making in Health Care: NRS 437V May 17, 2015 An ethical dilemma can occur in nursing and medicine daily. The conflicts between religious beliefs and medical science are especially challenging when the beliefs reject medical intervention. This scenario involves a 6 year old boy requiring hospitalization for meningitis. The physician has requested permission to proceed with a specific plan of care. Disagreement on the treatment offered, divorce without shared custody, and religious beliefs create an ethical dilemma. Ethical Dilemma The dilemma consists of medical treatment versus prayer without medical treatment. “Meningitis is a disease caused by the inflammation of the protective membranes covering the brain and spinal cord known as the meninges. The inflammation is usually caused by an infection of the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord” (Centers for Disease Control and Intervention, 2014). Meningitis can be caused by bacteria, virus, fungi, parasites, or non-infectious means (CDC, 2014). The ethical dilemma here is whether to allow the mother to deny medical care to her son because of religious beliefs, or to proceed with the plan of care the physician recommends, and the father has agreed with. This dilemma is further complicated by the fact that the biological father is not the custodial parent, and is living in another state. The mother is the custodial parent, but not a biological parent. The biological...

...classification system that is based on the type and extent of support needed” (Drew, 2011, p232) Children that have developmental disabilities have a significantly lower learning and memory capability (Drew, 2011). Early intervention is definitely a fundamental stage to families that are trying to help their child’s needs. Early intervention works on the fact that a child will receive care in the first three years of their life. This will help establish the child’s future (Marcus, 2010). People that believe in early intervention think the early intervention will help the child by lowering the impact of the disability. Placing a child in early intervention should be done early. The belief is that the earlier the interventions are done, the better it is for the child and family. Early intervention evolved into more family centered instead of just for the child. This way, the family is able to help the child and themselves more efficiently (Drew, 2011) In young children, interventions are usually focused on beginning language stimulation. They try to copy the conditions in which the child normally learns the language. Augmentative communication is an intervention that helps with communication without being able to speak. This kind of intervention is used...

...“Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan” Wendell Franklin Grand Canyon University SPE - 522 TEM 101 Dr. Brenda Combs The 1997 Reauthorization of the IDEA made Functional Behavior Assessment very important because it mandates “the use of Functional Behavior Assessment and Behavior Support Plan to address chronic and excessive problem behaviors” (Wheeler & Richey, 2014). It says in Sec. 1414(d) (3) (B) (i), that: “In the case of a child whose behavior impedes his or her learning or that of others, the child’s IEP team must consider, when appropriate, strategies, including positive behavior intervention strategies and supports to address that behavior” (Wheeler & Richey, 2014) The reason that the Functional Behavior Assessment and the Behavior Support plan where put in action to help the individuals that have special needs that also present challenging behaviors. The Functional Behavior Assessment also the Behavior Support Plan main goal is to gain an understanding of the behaviors that are being displayed, determine the factors that may reinforce their occurrences along with the function of the behavior. Since the establishment of the Functional Behavior Assessment and the Behavior Support Plan several definitions and factors for considerations where added to what constitutes impeding behavior. The learning of the children is not only affected by impeding behavior as well as other students could be included in the behaviors that are inclusive...
