The purpose of the OT is to help with Fine Motor Skills and to help students increase their functional independence in daily life while preventing or minmizing disability. The purpose of a PT is to examine the student and develop a plan, using treatment techniques to promote the abilty to move, reduce pain, restore function, and prevent disability. Without a PT, the student wouldn't have any physical movement for the day. Finally, the paraprofessional. The paraprofessional is your "Right Hand Man". There role is to help with student when need. For example, help feed, change, take them to class, and put them on the bus. The paraprofessional is important, because she knows the student, just like the special education teach does.

For example does he or she like bright lights in the classroom or like setting by the window. Does he/she works better in a group or independently. Next, I will give him/ her a "Travel Card", that way he/she will know the schedule for the day. Students will ASD work better with a routine. Then, I will find out if he/she has behavior problems. (meltdown, loud talking, self-harm, running around the room) Once we find the behavior, we can create an award system that the student can monitor themselves. By doing these steps, I can create a structure class and teach a successful lesson.

The assessment that he/she would use would be the CASL. As a special education teacher the additional information I would need to know if the student had speech before, and if so how many hours a week or month does he/she receives. I would also consider what type of speech the student is getting. For example, stuttering, apraxia, and dysarthria. For accommodations I would allow the students to write there answer, or have a communication device and be patient and listen to the students.

By doing tghis, it will involve the team and Joshua. The team will come up with some strategies to address the behavior. When the team has finalize the BIP, they should give a Joshua a "Contract" for him to follow. In the contract, it show him the following; -Rules -Directions -Tokens/Point System -Reward System -Consequences Once the BIP and Contract has been reviewed, the Team and Johua should sign. Joshua progress will be monitored by him and the teacher. The point system will tell if he had a great day or bad day. If he will receive an award or not. We will follow the BIP for about two weeks before going back to the team, to see if any changes need to be made. FBA The team needs to start a FBA. This is when a student misbehaves, school professionals (IEP Team) are faced with challenges of finding an effective ways to respond. While doing this FBA the need is to find the problem or function in order to change Joshua behavior. By doing this the teacher or Behavior Specialist should do an ABC. By doing this they will be monitoring and obsevering his behavior. When doing the ABC, they are looking for Antecedent=what happen before the behavior occur Behavior=What Behavior occur Consequence=What happens as a result of the behavior) Once the teacher or behavioral specailist have collect there data for about a week,( three days out the week) they will bring back to the team to see to make a decision about Joshua. Maybe Joshua need a new placement, like "Day Treatment Program". Maybe this would be his Least Restrictive Environment.

Fighting for this rights-When Audell was in Middle School, he already knew what he wanted to do in High School. 2.Support Team-Audell had a support team, that helped him with his work. He was allowed to attend his IEP meeting, his mother was his biggest advocate, special education teacher, and also the school counselor. 3.Active-Audell is on the basketball team, were he has friends and very popular on the team. Areas to Target -Reading Audell had already incorporated intervention reading by 30 minutes a period. Division II is a target goal that Audell wants to attend. By completing the classes that the school counselor enrolled him in.

Secondly, we would set a time (Planning Period) to plan and go over data to see how while the students are performing. Thirdly, we would come up with a bi-weekly progress report to send home. (this allows the parents to see their child's growth) Finally, I think we should have each other phone number, e-mail, access to students files. Just in case one of the teachers are absent, the show can still go on. Rather if its a conferences with a parent, students testing, having a sub, etc. Mon, 30 Mar 2020 21:28:12 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/167943?scroll_to=1618172 https://nowcomment.com/documents/167943?scroll_to=1618172 For Sample C, I would give the test-taker a score of a 2. The Test-taker didn't separate the strategies from the explanation. The test-taker terms or vocabulary was very simple. They could have used more Special Education terms like Sample A and B. Knowing the terms allows the scorer to know that you have the knowledge about Special Education.
