The Influence Of Carelessness On Schools With Autism And AD/HD Students

Throughout the ages, people with disabilities have been hidden away at homes or institutions and were often not educated. This was common practice and as such, when the education system was designed, children with disabilities were not even considered. Then, starting soon after the civil rights movement in the 50’s, a series of lawsuits was brought against school boards and the federal government took notice. Then the Education for all Handicapped Children Act of 1975 was passed and these children were finally allowed the education they deserved. As time went

One in five American students has a learning disability this is according to the documentary “Misunderstood Minds’’ produced by WGBH. Children with learning disabilities are more likely to become outcasts in school and in society. The documentary follows five families dealing with a differently abled child; Nathan V, Lauren, Sarah Lee, Adam, and Nathan S. The film focuses on difficulties the families go through, professionalism or lack of it by school officials and demystification.

The bullying gets worse and worse, it all starts in Elementary school, “they may worry that the disability is contagious or wonder something is wrong with them”(Bonnie). Around the teenage years, there siblings will worry about their reputation, “ children this age (teen) may be embarrassed by their siblings”(Bonnie). When autistic students get bullied for something that they can not help it affects them, “ He’s been more unhappy at home too-mom”(Bonnie). People everywhere want to help, “ protest have been launched to improve services for autistic children”(Geelong). Everywhere, everyday an autistic child gets bullied, with an autistic school it will help prevent children with this disorder be

Disabled children in schools are usually no longer viewed any differently from someone else in school. People are not only accepting of them, but are helping them to learn at an appropriate pace. In the future, more programs will be set in place to reach out to more disabled people who want to learn. At first, the 14th Amendment allowed disabled children to be in school, but now it’s so much more than being in school. They can have a normal life, education, and be treated the same in classrooms.

Children with a learning or physical disability may be subjected to prejudice or discrimination at school because they could be treated differently

There comes a time in every child’s life when they become aware of who they are and question their place in the world, this is no different for a child with a disability. Most important is that every child has a safe environment to be able to express themselves without receiving judgement from adults.

Robert’s rights to inclusion is reinforced by the Special Educational Needs and Disability Act (2001) which gave Robert the right to attend mainstream school and to be educated alongside his peer (Thomas and Vaughan, 2005). The Act strengthened further the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) which makes discrimination again Robert unlawful. The United Nation Convention on the Right of the Child Article 23, highlights that a child with a disability should have effective access to and receive an education ( Jones , 2004) Tassoni (2003) underlined that The Children Act (1989) spelled out the idea that all children have rights. It required protecting all children, but also highlighting the needs and rights of vulnerable children. As with Robert, he is a child in need and as such the school and LEA has legal duties to make sure that Robert is achieving within society.

…“Children with disabilities should be educated in the most open and normal environment possible (the least restrictive environment); when needed, evaluations, diagnose, and treatments should be done without stigmatization and discrimination.”… (Pg. 176)

Kids with Autism should not be treated differently in schools because being around peers has many advantages, being in a "normal" classroom has shown huge benefits, and they are able to prepare for the real world. Kids with Autism should not be treated differently in schools because being around peers has shown huge advantages. Kids with Autism are often left out because they do not understand what the others are doing or other kids don’t want to deal with them. The list could go on and on. One reason kids should be around peers is because kids with Autism have a greater chance of committing suicide.

Some people say that kids with autism should be in a separate school so they won 't have to feel “different”. That idea is absolutely ludicrous! We don’t segregate students based on skin color, race, sexuality, or gender so why segregate people base on ability or disability. We live in a world that is surrounded with war and hatred so it is paramount that we display a model of compassion at an early age . It 's not enough to tell children to ,“be nice to one another ”, “treat people the way you want to be treated” and “don 't use the R word”. Empathy has to be modeled, not taught and it starts with school administration taking the time to educate themselves about autism. Libraries and stores have a plethora of books about different disabilities . Teachers can create a culture of understanding by reading a story about a character who has a disability. It was not listed in The Curious Incident of the dog in the Nighttime that Chris is autistic. Haddon didn 't want readers to think his book was about a boy with autism but a book about a fifteen year old boy who has difficulty with social interaction despite being very gifted in math and science. Labels belong on cereal boxes not people and putting special needs children in special needs schools makes them feel

Teachers need to take into consideration the rest of the child's life after they graduate. Life for an autistic person is about

Special Education is a topic of controversy with many advocates fighting for the justice children and adults with special needs so rightfully deserve. With laws being passed and modified so frequently, it is important that the educators being brought into the world have an extensive knowledge of the developmental needs of many different types of children. With this knowledge and their constant measures to keep up to date with the fast-moving world of education, they will be able to deliver an appropriate atmosphere that is in accordance with the law that ensures ethical practices and guidelines are always being followed.

Howe and Miramontes (2014) present both the theoretical and pedagogical framework surrounding this population. The authors seek to explain the kinds of problems that make up the ethics of special education while providing a practical level of understanding through case studies.

Based on the study, only teachers with special education qualification were credential to participate in this case. Of course the one who had taught or were teaching preschool with Autism Spectrum Disorder children are selected for this survey. For private school like mine, it is very difficult to deal with ASD children because we don’t have qualification towards that. The parents supposed send their children to special school but they don’t. Some of them denied or cannot accept that their children have this kind of problem.

This report will aim to discuss the inclusion for special educational needs (SEN) students as well as those students with autistic spectrum condition (ASC). This report will discuss inclusive education and its history, as well as the social, political and philosophical arguments that impact upon it. The report will look at how educational practice is shaped by legislative and regulatory frameworks; it will also show how our own practice provides support for all children to achieve within mainstream education.
