URGENT

The textbook- Sixth edition of Richard Gargiulo’s well-respected Special Education in Contemporary society.

Imagine you are doing a observation

Disabilities
Choose two of the disabilities listed below to observe. Remember you are the expert on the disability, so you should be able to address it in great detail.

(Intellectual Disabilities, Learning Disabilities, ADHD, Emotional disabilities, Autism, Speech/Language, Hearing, Visual,
Physical/Health Impairments, Gifted/Talented))

10 Vocabulary/Terms from Textbook must be included (5 in the description of each disability). These terms must be bolded, defined and elaborated in addition to being linked to an example.

Disability 1(5 terms from textbook need to be included)

1. What is the name of your chosen Disability?

2. Use your textbook to provide a definition and discussion (incidence, prevalence, assessments used to measure) of your chosen disability. (minimum 5 sentences)

3. Discuss specific characteristics of students/students observed with this disability. Describe their specific behaviors in the classroom as well as their interactions with others (both students and teachers) (minimum 5 sentences)

4. Describe specific Educational interventions and instructional strategies you observed for your chosen disabilities. (minimum 5 sentences)

5. What is the student response or what are the students' responses to these interventions and strategies? (minimum 5 sentences)

6. What are your thoughts on the strategies used? Were they effective in your opinion? (minimum 5 sentences)

7. What would you have done the same and what would you have done differently and differently as a teacher in the classroom and why? (minimum 5 sentences)

I can help you break down the requirements for the observation of two disabilities in the textbook "Special Education in Contemporary Society." Let's start by choosing two disabilities from the list provided:

1. **Autism**

- Definition: Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that impacts social interaction, communication skills, and behavior. It is characterized by challenges in social skills, repetitive behaviors, and communication difficulties.

- Incidence and prevalence: Autism spectrum disorder affects about 1 in 54 children in the U.S. It is more common in boys than in girls.

- Assessments: Assessments such as the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) and the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS) are commonly used to diagnose and measure the severity of autism.

Characteristics:

- Students with autism may exhibit difficulties in social interactions, such as making eye contact, understanding social cues, and forming friendships.

- They might engage in repetitive behaviors like hand-flapping or rocking and have specific interests that they focus on intensely.

- In the classroom, students with autism may struggle with transitions, sensory sensitivities, and communication challenges.

Educational Interventions:

- Visual schedules, structured routines, and clear expectations can help students with autism navigate the classroom environment.

- Communication supports like picture exchange systems or assistive technology can aid in improving communication skills.

- Positive behavior support strategies and individualized education plans (IEPs) tailored to each student's needs are crucial.

Student Response:

- Students with autism may positively respond to consistent routines, visual supports, and clear communication strategies.

- Tailoring interventions to individual needs can enhance engagement and learning outcomes.

Effectiveness of Strategies:

- Effective strategies for students with autism focus on individualized support, consistency, and positive reinforcement.

- Collaborating with special education professionals, parents, and caregivers is essential in creating successful interventions.

As a teacher, I would...

- I would continue to implement evidence-based practices, collaborate with specialists, and adjust interventions based on student progress.

- I would prioritize creating a supportive and inclusive classroom environment to meet the diverse needs of students with autism.
