  2. Ethical Case: Dyslexia“A World of Mixed up Letters” • Kasey Brindle • Kelsey Danner • Natalie Kaplan • Tiffany Morris • Term: Fall 2011 • Professor: Dr. Bell

  3. Demographic Information • This scenario takes place at Ridgeview elementary school in a middle class suburban area. • Max is a typical 8 year old boy who enjoys sports and tries hard in school, but has difficulty despite his best efforts. • Max has one older sister who has not experienced these problems. • Max’s mother suspects that his father also struggles with dyslexia but has never been diagnosed.

  4. Case Study Max is an 8 year old boy in 3rd grade. He has been struggling with his schoolwork and homework. Max tries hard with all his assignments at home and in school but still seems to struggle. His teacher, Mrs. Wilder, suspects Max might have a learning disability called Dyslexia, but he has not yet been tested or diagnosed. Mrs. Wilder talks with Max’s parents about this issue. She is willing to help in any way possible to make Max a more successful student and improve his grades in school. His father George does not believe there is anything wrong with Max and that he does not have a problem and will grow out of it. Angie, Max’s mom, wants to help him in any way she can. She believes enrolling him in classes to help him cope and overcome his learning disability will help him improve his school work and make him a more successful student. Since these symptoms have arisen in Max, Angie also recognizes that George may also have Dyslexia and may be a hereditary learning disability.

  5. Stakeholders • Max Lopez: Young boy who has been struggling with homework and school and is suspected to be struggling with dyslexia. • George Lopez: Max’s father who is slightly in denial that Max may have a learning disability. • Angie Lopez: Max’s mother who wants to enroll her son in special classes to help his dyslexia and suspects that George may have it too. • Mrs. Wilder: Max’s teacher who is concerned that he may have a learning disability and wants him to take special help classes.

  6. What are some ways to help influence learning in the classroom for Max? • What are some strategies that parents can use at home to help influence learning? • What should both the parents and teacher do to ensure Max excels in the years to come? Ethical Questions

  7. 1. In the classroom you should start with having the child sit close to the front of the classroom. This will help ensure the least amount of distractions as possible. Next, give the student a handout of all the instructions for assignments if possible. Highlight and underline key points to help draw attention to these points. You might also want to consider giving the child a peer tutor. This could help the child stay on task, and the student on particular assignments.  • 2. First the parents need to understand what their child is going through. In Max's case his dad needs to find out if he too has dyslexia, and get on board. The parents need to work closely with the child's teacher. When the child is working on homework the parents should be there to help. Always make the child feel good about his or he accomplishments, and never expect perfection.  Resolution #1 & #2

  8. Resolution #3 Max's parents and his teacher should get together a develop an individual transition plan. This will help the child transition form school to adulthood. This plan should be appropriate for the individual student, and it outlines the student's actions, events, and resources which the parents/teachers will need in order to help Max succeed.
