I first notice this child when he was in the infant room. During his development when he could not sit,crawl,he was not developing, and when he started to stand it was difficult for him this child did not walk until he was 18months old by then his legs were shaped like a bow. · Explain why you suspected or knew of the disabilitiy I didn't know what was wrong but he was growing he had a short stature and his legs were deforming or another term was bowing. · Describe any supports and additional help that this child needed Myself and the staff at this time felt we needed to have a conference with his mother. The infant room teachers had on many occasion spoke to his mother. When we had the conference with his Mother we suggested to her that he should be evaluated and children hospital would be the best suggestion. When the child was diagnosis she was told that he has Rickets. Rickets is disorder that affects the bones because of lack of vitamin D. When a child does not get enough vitamin d his bones do not get the necessary nutrients that make bones strong. Children ages 6months to 24months are the highest risk. · Describe successful instructional practices for students with this student (eating, drinking independently, reading etc... Child #1 this child can do everything the others but there are exception he can not run like a child his age. He can not cross his leg. At this time we are not sure about his short stature it could be permanent and his skeletal deformities also he is now 21months old and there has been no improvement. Child #2 Identify and define the characteristics of students This child came in the infant room his mother told us at the time that he was premature and was on a ventilator. He also had reflex so drinking was a problem. He was quiet did not cry, at times you would go and make sure that he was still sleeping in the crib. He also had a operation to correct his eye movement. Explain why you suspected or knew of the disability. The child was not developing he could not relax his muscles which he had no controls on his arm or legs. The only thing this child could do is just move his head from side to side. When it was time for him to eat he could not, he would just drink from his bottle. He was diagnosis after numerous test that he did have Cerebral Palsy, this did not happen until he was 22 months old. Describe any supports and additional help that this child needed. This child now is getting early intervention. he has a physical therapist that come in twice a week. The occupational therapist also goes to his home. He has a special chair that fits in the high chair so he does not fall over. The teacher work with him as directed by the therapist, like holding, grabbing a objects. The child's parents have told us that he will have to go to a special school but those school can not take him until he is 3yr of age. His prognostic is that he probably not walk will be in a wheel chair. Describe successful instructional practices for students with this student. This little boy is very sweet he can only lay on the floor with the other infants. Every one that come in contact with him love him. Eating is still a problem he is now 23months old, but the teachers try very hard to make him eat something during the day. Early intervention is trying to see if there is any school that will accept him for him to get more physical therapy then we can give him thought the day.= = = =Chapter 9= = Activity 1 =

Chapter 6 Activity 3

1.) What is a graphic organizer and how does it help students?

A graphic organizer is an activity where the teacher gives each student a part of the lesson to become and "expert" on, and they share it with the class. It helps students by focusing on just one subject, and sharing it. It can also help students to learn from each other.

2.) The teacher has past part of the graphic organizer marker so students only need to focus on, or become the expert on that particular organizer. How can this help all students in the classroom?

It helps students because it gives them one specific thing to concentrate on and learn. This can make learning less distracting for kids because they are not trying to take in all the information at once. This strategy also targets all different types of learners (visual, auditory etc). They learn by reading the information themselves, and then by listening to their peers.

3.) How can the students use the graphic organizer after the class acitivity?

They can take notes while their peers are presenting and then go back to that activity. Or, if they do not understand a topic, they could go back the the person who was the "expert" on that topic, and ask them to explain it further.

George has a very supportive and encouraging family at home. His mom, dad, and especially his older brother Roy help encourage George to communicate. His brother plays games with him, and George likes to pretend he is different people. George likes to pretend to talk on the phone, and he also enjoys riding his bike. At school his teachers support him, and they stay in close communication with his family at home.

2.) How do the school personnel help support George?

George has alot of support from his teachers at school. He is in a program to help him chew and swallow. His teachers make sure George can be included in everything, including classroom celebrations. They provide him treats such as lollipops to have when he cannot have things the other kids are having. I think this is very important to help George feel included with the other children. none
