Down Syndrome:
- More than one type of down syndrome
- Each is affected differently by the condition
- some children with Down's Syndrome can be very intelligent, and can even get post secondary education and jobs later in their lives.
Autism Spectrum:
- there are three types of autism that I have never encountered (that I know of):
1)
Rett Disorder
2)
Childhood Disintegrative Disorder
3)
Pervasive Developmental Disorder
- Learned what is echolalia- repeating what others say, obsessively
- There are many factors that cause autism
- Students with Autism can have verbal language skills, then one day appear to have lost them all. Their language is never again fully returned.
Inclusion in PE
- 5 ways to adapt in PE:
1. Movement Form
2. Environment
3. Equipment
4. Rules
5. Instruction
Hearing Impairments:
- Out of 28 million people who are hearing impaired or deaf, only 1 million of them are children. This means many people lose their hearing after childhood.
- Hearing impairments causes delays in reading and spelling
- Arrange classroom in the shape of a U
Parents’ Involvement:
- Parents have become more involved in educating their child over time
- Parents want to hear both successes and failures
- Parent may be more concerned with opportunities for social interactions than academics.
Gifted and talented
- Strong leadership skills is considered for the criteria… I didn't know that
- Made me realized that of the six types that are identified, very few of these kids are having their needs met… overall they sound like an unhappy group, overall.
Ell and Disabilities
- 90% of students diagnosed with learning disabilities are also ell!!!
- Early literacy instructions focuses on print awareness, rather than vocabulary, that ell learners need.
