Description
Objective:
To create handouts that summarize the differences between various disabilities.
Scenario:
Focus Assignment:
1. Choose two disabilities, then create summary handouts for your upcoming staff training that describe the basic facts and characteristics for each disability. Include a one-paragraph rationale describing why you specifically chose these two different disabilities based on the types of disabilities you expect to see most often at your school. Next, for the disabilities you have chosen for your handouts, talk about the different types, categories, or levels of severity that a teacher may encounter. Finally, create one strategy for each of the two disabilities to help support children at circle time.
2. Be sure to read the SELF-EVALUATION section below to guide your thinking. Write your self-evaluation after you have completed your handouts.
3. Review the assessment rubric to see how your assignment and self-evaluation will be graded.
Self Evaluation-
1. For your list:
a. Explain how creating disability handouts addresses the issues in the scenario.
b. Give evidence from the chapter supporting information in your handouts (with citations).
2. Describe and justify how the disability handouts might help teachers have less fear about children with disabilities.
