Question

Scenario: Sally is a third-grade student with an identified specific learning disability in the academic areas of reading comprehension and math reasoning. Sally requires a resource level of support whereby she spends the majority of her school day within her general education third-grade classroom. Sally spends at least 20% of her school day receiving specialized instruction in the areas of reading comprehension and math reasoning (i.e., the academic areas where her disability manifests itself). Sally's specialized instruction may include small group instruction with the special education teacher outside or inside of her classroom. Based on what you have learned about inclusion?

Scenario: Sally is a third-grade student with an identified specific learning disability in the academic areas of reading comprehension and math reasoning. Sally requires a resource level of support whereby she spends the majority of her school day within her general education third-grade classroom. Sally spends at least 20% of her school day receiving specialized instruction in the areas of reading comprehension and math reasoning (i.e., the academic areas where her disability manifests itself). Sally’s specialized instruction may include small group instruction with the special education teacher outside or inside of her classroom.Based on what you have learned about inclusion:

1.Are Sally’s current special education services consistent with the inclusion model?

2.What could Sally’s general education third-grade teacher do to help support Sally within the third-grade classroom? (Discuss at least 3 accommodations.)

ANSWER:

1. Sally's education model is NOT consistent with with the INCLUSION MODEL, but rather it is consistent with the MAINSTREAMING MODEL.

The inclusion model in education is where a student with special needs are not separated from other students in the general classroom. But in this scenario Sally has 20% of her day been spent receiving special instructions on the subjects she needs help. This scenario defines the mainstream model, as the mainstream model allows student to combine the general class and a self contained class.

2. For Sally's general education third grade teacher to support her, the followings which are called accommodation, has to be done;

• Timing: The teacher has to give Sally more time to complete her test and assignment, to help her meet up with the general class.

• Scheduling: The teacher has to reschedule any test she failed to perform well, so that she can have a second chance to meet up with other students.

• Presentation: The teacher has to understand how best to present Information to her, maybe she may like reading from her computer, or like listening to audio tutor's. The teacher also has to present any information or question to her in a low manner, so that Sally can have a sense of belonging with the class.

•Response: The teacher to understand how she likes responding to questions, may be writing, typing, or talking.
