1)Learning disabilities (LD) vary from person to person. One person with learning disabilities may not have the same kind of learning problems as another person with learning disabilities. One person may have trouble with reading and writing. Another person with learning disabilities may have problems with understanding math. Still another person may have trouble in each of these areas, as well as with understanding what people are saying.Researchers think that learning disabilities are caused by differences in how a person's brain works and how it processes information. Children with learning disabilities are not "dumb" or "lazy." In fact, they usually have average or above average intelligence. Their brains just process information differently.The definition of "learning disability" just below comes from the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA). The IDEA is the federal law that guides how schools provide special education and related services to children with disabilities. There is no "cure" for learning disabilities. They are life-long. However, children with learning disabilities can be high achievers and can be taught ways to get around the learning disability. With the right help, children with learning disabilities can and do learn successfully.

1.Today I started doing some reading so I can learn more about the Special Olympics before I go to Idaho. Most of what I read was about how people with intellectual disabilities are often treated in our communities. The things that I read were very informational and they really made me think .

3.Many students with special needs are placed into a full day of special classes in which they learn with peers who have disabilities as well. In today’s schools, placing students into special education classes full time may or may not be the right decision for that student. Placing students with special needs into the regular education classroom is known as mainstreaming. The easiest way to form your own opinion on this matter is to review the pros/cons. Mainstreaming certainly has enough of both! i think this very important.
1. people with these disabilities are treated with special care.

1.The most common treatment for learning disabilities is special education. Specially trained educators may perform a diagnostic educational evaluation assessing the child's academic and intellectual potential and level of academic performance. Once the evaluation is complete, the basic approach is to teach learning skills by building on the child's abilities and strengths while correcting and compensating for disabilities and weaknesses. Other professionals such as speech and language therapists also may be involved. Some medications may be effective in helping the child learn by enhancing attention and concentration. Psychological therapies may also be used.

3. Pros: Higher Academic Achievement, Higher Self Esteem, Better Social Skills, Understanding and Tolerance of differences. Cons:Costs,Time teachers spend helping special needs students and not other students.
1)reactions isolate people with disabilities in their homes, hospitals, or institutions rather than simply welcoming them into the world. There is a way to do this though–by practicing the Social Model. The Social Model helps people with disabilities be accepted as regular people who make important contributions to their families and communities. It is the respectful way to treat people, and I like that.

3)pros- It the kid would be able to learn and be around others.
cons- the other students might make fun of them.
in my own opinion everyone should be treated like everyone else and you shouldnt make fun of people with disabilities or diffrentces.
1) They tend to be treated poorly, and are often made fun of by their peers. And in some cases the teachers and elders treat people with intellectual disabilities like they are not capable of doing anything for themselves.
ReplyDelete2) Mainstreaming is To integrate (a student with special needs) into regular school classes.
3) The pros and cons are all children learn in the same environment but more severe children will need extra help. Children will interact together. But one teacher will not be enough for mainstreamed classrooms
Mainstreamed students may learn basic skills from others, but the teacher may not be able to handle mainstreamed students.
Classroom will be adjusted to fit all needs, but attention may be taken away from others to focus on special needs children.
1. Family Involvement, Peer Interaction, and Cultural Considerations.
ReplyDelete2. Mainstreaming in the context of education is a term that refers to the practice of educating students with special needs in regular classes during specific time periods based on their skills.
3. I think mainstreaming is a good idea because it gives them a chance to learn. But I also think that students need to interact with regular kids and kids that are like them.
1- teaching in a non-profit organization or institutions
ReplyDelete2- Mainstreaming in the context of education is a term that refers to the practice of educating students with special needs in regular classes during specific time periods based on their skills. This means regular education classes are combined with special education classes.
3- I think that it is important ot include both classes in the ciriculum so that the educations needs are met for every student.
1- The primary goal of treatment is to develop the person's potential to the fullest. Special education and training may begin as early as infancy. This includes social skills to help the person function as normally as possible. It is important for a specialist to evaluate the person for other affective disorders and treat those disorders. Behavioral approaches are important for people with mental retardation.
ReplyDelete2- mainstreaming is teaching mentally challenged children in the regular classroom with extra help through the special ed department.
3- kids may fall behind in the class alone, but mainstreaming takes more from the special ed department. the kid still learns everything but it takes a lot of work from the teachers. i think that it is a good thing for the schools to do this. it also keeps kids socially involved with their peers.
They tend to be treated poorly, and are often made fun of by their peers. And in some cases the teachers and elders treat people with intellectuate and so so.
