\nThe most important thing you can do in your classroom is to have a routine. Structure in a classroom helps with any student, with or without a disability. This allows students to know what to expect from the teacher. Just because you do not have the additional resources in the class does not mean you can't reach them. Having different materials in the class, handouts, videos, talking points and knowing your material goes a long way. But more importantly making each student feel they are apart of the class and know what your expectations are from them and theirs from you can help the class run smoothly.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61085104","dateCreated":"1355370429","smartDate":"Dec 12, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"laeling1","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/laeling1","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61085104"},"dateDigested":1532724676,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Lianna Aeling response ","description":"If I were working with a person who had Down syndrome, I would first assess their mental capabilities.

\nI chose to base my accommodations around a student with autism, in the transition between kindergarten and 1st grade. With my major being Early Childhood, Intervention and Art Therapy I was lucky enough to be offered a job working with a boy who started showing signs of Autism in preschool. I started working with him this summer while he was making the transformation into elementary school. Focusing on specifically art I found out how mush of an impact art can truly be for someone to express and get their point across. Through my experience I heave learned so much about autism and some main characteristics that will be helpful in my major as an educator. One I especially found to be true is that many children with autism have a special something that they key in on. For my student it was his focus on art. He always wanted his lines to be neat and critiqued his work as a 5 year old the way my college professors critique my work. As a teacher I would us this as a teaching advantage. With a good teacher student relationship I would learn my student\u2019s special something and tie it into the learning assignment for that day. Thus teaching him from his interests keeping their attention span.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"61071174","dateCreated":"1355245850","smartDate":"Dec 11, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"escott91","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/escott91","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/61071174"},"dateDigested":1532724676,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"erin scott response","description":"I chose to base my accommodations around a student with autism, 5th grade. I worked for Delaware County Disabilities Services for about 9 months with a boy who has Autism doing specifically art and I learned so much! I absolutely loved that job, but unfortunately his funding was cut. But as an art teacher, that gives me the perfect chance to help students with autism who may have had their funding cut and therefore can\u2019t receive beneficial care. I would have to learn the specifics of my student in regards to their \u201ctype\u201d of autism, but typically, I know kids with autism do better when the majority of their senses are stimulated. I also know that many kids with autism have a special niche- some can focus into art really well for long periods of time and others cannot. With that in mind, it would be good for me to really learn my student\u2019s niche and what their interests are and then plan lessons that really engage them regarding their niche and senses. Incorporating things that smell good or feel good are one idea or incorporating sounds into the lesson is another.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60990964","dateCreated":"1354497224","smartDate":"Dec 2, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"ChristineAngi","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/ChristineAngi","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60990964"},"dateDigested":1532724676,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Christine Angiuoli-Response","description":"So...while schools have special education departments, we all know that school funding is tight and that labor-intensive things such as the development of an individualized education plan (IEP) take time.

\nIn this senerio I am going to day that my student is a 4th grader with ADHD. (Like the child I discussed in Part1) In this situation I would need to create an environment to nurture this Childs individual needs. Everyday I would write out a rough schedule of what we would be doing that day. I would announce what we would be doing step by step then make a point to cross out each as we go. This structure is great because its beneficial to everyone in the classroom to maintain order. Throughout that day in completing assignments I could modify work to fit the mindset of a child with ADHD, shorter and more comprehensive. Tests could also be modified to be more direct questions. Longer and questions with more comprehension could be scaffolded into the assignments.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]},{"id":"60914248","dateCreated":"1353880025","smartDate":"Nov 25, 2012","userCreated":{"username":"karibradley","url":"https:\/\/www.wikispaces.com\/user\/view\/karibradley","imageUrl":"https:\/\/ssl.wikicdn.com\/i\/user_none_lg.jpg"},"monitored":false,"locked":false,"links":{"self":"https:\/\/capitaledpsych.wikispaces.com\/share\/view\/60914248"},"dateDigested":1532724676,"startDate":null,"sharedType":"discussion","title":"Kari Bradley Response","description":"I\u2019m extremely interested in Dissociative Identity Disorder, and I hope to work with this population at some point in my life.

\nI volunteer for a program called TOPSoccer, which is a soccer program for students with physical and mental disabilities. This program is volunteer run and does not have a lot of funding to provide a lot of things for the players. To pick a specific example we had a player who was in a motorized wheelchair. We did not have any type of equipment that is specialized for wheelchair soccer but we still wanted her to be able to participate with the other players and feel like she was still a part of the game. She also had a dog as an aid, which was a very smart dog. To accommodate her during play we taught the dog to pick the ball up in his mouth (they were squishy balls) and he would carry it next to her as she wheeled down the field and the dog would drop the ball right in front of the line so she could use her hands to pick up her leg and make it hit the ball into the net. She was so excited to be a part of the experience and it was awesome that despite not having much equipment we could still provide her with a positive soccer experience thanks to her wonderful sidekick. Of course her dog posed a little bit of an issue with the other players as they were more interested in petting the dog than kicking the ball at times but eventually it all worked out and ended up being such a great experience for all of us.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"58782018","body":"Good for you for being part of this program!!

\n\u2022 I am going to say that I am a 3rd grade teacher that has a student with ADHD, and a few other that are displaying similar characteristics. As a teacher I would definitely need to provide accommodations for my students to succeed. One thing I could do to help them would be to establish a routine for them to follow. By having a timed schedule they would be less distracted and more focused during our lessons. Also, to help keep them organized I could have a homework binder with al their supplies and paper. In addition, to keep them organized I could make them each a homework calendar to keep them on top of their assignments. To help them succeed and focus I could break down certain assignments into smaller parts. If they struggle with certain concepts, I could provide them with learning strategies instead of \u201cdumbing down\u201d the work. As far as group work goes I would need to make sure they aren\u2019t distracting their group members too much by keeping a appropriate pace to keep them from getting bored.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[{"id":"57085328","body":"Wow.
