...without disabilities. Every effort must be made to be inclusive of a child with disabilities in a regular classroom setting alongside children with disabilities. (Gargiulo, 2006) 3. Individualized Education Plan Upon identification of a child’s disability, an individualized education plan (IEP) must be written. These IEP’s must be updated or developed annually by a team of professionals, with input from the parents and, if appropriate, the student. The IEP must include measures of the student’s current educational level, identifiable goals for the year, methods in which evaluation of goals will occur, specific special education services needed, level of mainstream inclusion or reasoning for exclusion from mainstream class, changes necessary in comparison to mainstream education, projected timeline to initiate services and/or duration of services, and annual evaluation of progress made by student on the IEP. (Gargiulo, 2006) 4. Procedural Due Process This mandate is designed to ensure that parents and students, if appropriate, are involved in each aspect of their education. This ensures that parents are involved in their child’s evaluation via written permission, are involved in placement in special education via written permission, that they have the right to review and exchange information regarding their child’s education, that they have the right to an independent evaluation of their child’s disabilities, that they have the right to a hearing regarding...

...Summary: Collaboration is important among educators and support staff to understand the source of negative behavior of students with disabilities. These individuals need to work together to collect data and document the events before, during, and after the behavior is recorded. Once the possible triggers for behaviors are discussed, a behavior intervention plan can be implemented. Reinforcements can be used to help promote the student to not produce the behavior and also to help them to communicate their needs in an appropriate manner. Main Ideas: What is a functional behavior analysis (FBA), who should participate in creating this documentation, how to document student's behaviors using a FBA (Antecedent, Consequence, Student's Reaction,...

...Response To Intervention EDU620 March 11, 2013 Abstract Throughout the years, educators and administrators have embraced the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Response to Intervention (RTI). These two methods, when coupled together, complement one another because they both are a usable tool that captures all students’ progress whether they are a struggler or not. However, it has been founded that RTI combines both intervention and assessments to create a prevention process that could possibly enhance students’ growth and decrease any behavioral problems. Responses to Intervention have been proven to be a positive resource when working along with any technological tools or resources, which students have accessible to them in the classroom. Introduction The earlier the intervention the greater the chance a struggling child will have of overcoming any learning challenges he may encounter. All students should have the opportunity to excel within the classroom. When implemented, Response to intervention (RTI) can decrease some of the barriers that may be obstacles for some children. The paper will outline findings about RTI, how it supports assistive technology, and the outcome when RTI is not utilized in the learning environment. Summary of RTI Findings Response to intervention has been around for quite a while. Its purpose is to offer a high level of pertinent instruction based on a child’s needs....

...University of Phoenix. All rights reserved. Course Description This course provides a broad overview of the human services discipline using practice settings and social problems as lenses so that the role and function of the human service provider, as well as the clients with whom they work can be understood in context. The course begins with a brief overview of what a human service provider is, and what services these professionals provide. A history of social welfare is provided so that students can gain a historical perspective of how poor and marginalized populations have been cared for in the United States. Generalist practice skills and intervention strategies are introduced generally, but a more in-depth exploration of intervention strategies are discussed in later chapters as they apply to particular social problems and practice settings. The course concludes with an exploration of macro practice where change is affected on a broader scale, both domestically and abroad. Students should leave this class having a good idea of what a human service worker is, what they do, who they work with, as well as the gaining a deeper understanding of...

...cross into the confines of the quantitative researchers and vice versa. The rationale behind this is mainly attributed to the fact that both research paradigms have axiological and epistemological assumptions that are considered distinct. This paper, therefore, seeks to identify some research components within a research project, and evaluating the results of these projects by assessing the studies strengths and weaknesses of the study articles, within the qualitative and quantitative paradigms. The two principal articles of this study include; Impact of a smoking cessation educational program on nurses interventions, and the conceptualizations of culture and cultural care among undergraduate nursing students. Overview of Quantitative Article Vandenberg & Kalischuk (2014) in their article titled, “Conceptualizations of culture and cultural care among undergraduate nursing students”, pursues the audience of their readers by giving insights into the culture and cultural care. These authors depict the reasons why these elements have significantly become necessary within the nursing and healthcare industry. According to them, the values that underlie the conceptualization of these approaches differ, a factor that has resulted in critical analysis...

Esparza, Jennifer D. Ramos, Edralin Aban, Racel Santiañez, and Richard F. Lacquin MAEd, Students 3. Project Duration: June 2014 – March 2015 4. Project Location: Masbate National Comprehensive High School CHAPTER 1 Introduction Despite the fact that students have many difficulties in Mathematics, Factoring Polynomials is one of the least mastered skills for the students. They are confused and didn't know which appropriate method should be used. The proponent wondered if the academic performance of the students will improve through the use of Strategic Intervention Material (SIM) in the topic, Factoring Polynomials in Mathematics Grade 8. This tool of teaching, if properly done, has been proven to encourage students to understand more of the lesson independently and with less teachers’ guidance. The proponent also patterned the activities from the K to 12 curriculum while transforming the learning process into an enjoyable reading, problem solving experience and make an impact to their academic performance. Review of Related Literature Intervention has become an important way for teachers to ensure that all students succeed in today’s high stakes testing environment.
