This week started off talking about Emotional Behavioral Disorders, specifically anxiety and depression. The best way to overcome phobias and fears is to face them and figure out how to relax on demand in those same situations that would normally trigger a bad response. Then, they are able to transfer that ability to a real-life situation in order to calm themselves down. There are a lot of phobias which some are learned and some are because of family and what they experienced. People sometimes have a predisposition to be anxious through genetics. We talked specifically about behavioral disorders. In the school-setting, there is a BIP, which stands for Behavioral Improvement Plan.
Our next lecture on Wednesday, we focused on assessments that are used with students who have:
- Learning Disabilities
- Intellectual Impairments
- Autism
- ADHD
As our group final, we are responsible to analyze a specific student via a case study that we have to help as an educator. The student we are reading about had Autism and as a group we're trying to figure out how to best help in the classroom setting. On Friday, we talked about how we are trying to change the lesson plan to be more accomodating to his special educational needs. As a group, we've learned the things we can improve from the Midterm and do a better job of splitting up the work among all 5 of us.
