As many of you know, I have recently selected the topic of Inclusion for Special Needs children to conduct my research paper on. With that in mind, I chose to carry out research studies on children who are on the spectrum to ensure a high-quality learning environment for the many needs these children will need to succeed. With the spectrum being so large, and knowing students who have autism, there are many different methods to guarantee a successful learning environment and curriculum.
I believe the most important aspect would be to promote parent involvement and empowerment, give them the tools they need to be a voice for their child and to give their ideas and opinions to professionals in the field. I would like to get ten children who are all over the spectrum and provide many different modifications to lesson plans to have all children gain the knowledge of one particular topic. As we have learned, children learn better through their individual interests, finding one interest that all can enjoy would be the toughest task. I believe learning about the children and doing individual and group work can lead to the best positive outcome to support ALL students. Through simple scaffolding methods and giving the parents different methods can assist the students in and outside of the classroom. Finding ways where we can support all students with many different learning delays and disabilities can ensure families that their child is receiving the best care and education.
It would also be important to gain the backing of different policy makers and other professionals to spread the importance of supporting all students. Having knowledge is power and these children will grow up and to be adults, they need to learn to take care of themselves and have an education to open doors for them to succeed. I believe these contributions can really enhance Special Education and give many children and families the resources they need to support them throughout their lives.
Your topic is one that is so important to the field of early childhood! One that many people are intimidated by. Thank you for standing up !
ReplyDeleteI like the topic you chose to do research on. Many tims we do not look into the special needs of our children. We have to have a broad spectrum to reach all children so they would be able to grow into successful adults. I believe this would be a great research and you have it planned out well.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicole, You have chosen a great topic to do your research on. I love working with special needs children, many of the other are scared of them when they walk pass. I always insure the children that they are going to hurt no one, they just want friends. Great choice. Thank you for sharing.
