  9. Cognitive Impairments • attention deficit disorder (ADD) • A child who has trouble staying on task and is easily distracted • learning disability • A child who has a problem with one or more basic skills of learning • articulation problems • Omissions, distortions, or substitutions of vowels/consonantsboth • lazy tongue • An articulation problem caused by inability of the tongue to form sounds as intended • baby talk • Use of incorrect words intended to “play” with children; not an appropriate model for children to emulate • breathy voice • A voice that sounds like a whisper and is weak and not clearly phonated • expansion • A technique used to expand children’s mispronounced words into complete sentences

How should the teacher respond? • Ask the child to pay attention better • Assign another child to remind this child of what to do • Look directly into the child’s face when speaking • Take off points each time instructions are not followed Answer: C

  17. 2. Mr. Howell has a child in his class who cannot interact with him or the other children. He likes to rock by himself and flap his head back and forth. What kind of impairment or disorder does this student MOST LIKELY have? • Behavioral disorder • Cognitive impairment • Hearing impairment • Physical impairment Answer: A

  18. “Special Olympics Qualifier Round”Qualifier Round—Impairments and Disorders • Directions: • Class will be divided into TEAMS. • Each TEAM will receive diamond’s and circles. • Each TEAM will figure out which diamond and circle match with the appropriate labeled t-shirt.

  19. Group projects • The following activities will be done working with a partner. • You will share your work with the class when complete. • You have 30 minutes to complete your project • When time is called, please be ready, you have no time for talking, only time for working!

  20. Project #1 • Brainstorm ideas for events for a Special Needs Olympics to serve as an ongoing project throughout this objective. • The purpose is to provide activities in ways that meet the special needs of participants. • Begin by drawing a large idea map on bulletin board paper. • Write your initial ideas for the Special Olympics on the circles and lines of the idea map. • You will need to then research ideas in textbooks, internet. • You will return to the idea map after each group presents their project to record additional thoughts.

  21. Project #1 Con’t… • You will need to return to your idea maps and use your understanding of hearing/vision/physical impairments (after everybody presents their project) to continue brainstorming ideas for their Special Needs Olympics. • Once each category of special needs has been studied, you will need to develop plans for one event.

  22. Project #2 • Hearing-impaired children • 10 minute research • 10 minute design slogan • Research in textbooks and other available sources and list strategies for working with hearing-impaired children in early childhood settings. • Will need to be ready to discuss with class. • Use Appendix 5.02E: “Helping Children with Hearing Impairments,” design a T-Shirt logo/slogan about what it means to be a child with a hearing impairment.

  23. Project #3 • Vision-impaired children • 10 minute research • 10 minute design slogan • Research and list strategies for working with vision-impaired children. • Refer to Appendix 5.02F, “Vision Impairments- Foldable T-Shirt.” • Draw a t-shirt onto construction paper, cut, and write on the inside of the shirt words to summarize as many strategies as you can for working with children with vision impairments. • Be ready to share and discuss.

  24. Project #4 • Read in textbook, Working with Young Children, Chapter 30--Guiding Children with Special Needs. • List strategies for identifying and working with these children. • Create a role play of a child with spina bifida and a child with a prosthetic arm. • Wear a T-shirt naming the disability being role played. • Get shirt from teacher. • Use Appendix 5.02G: “Scripting Role Play.”

  25. Project #5 • Refer to the list of categories of cognitive impairments, forms of giftedness, and behavioral/emotional disorders in Appendix 5.02D, middle column to select one impairment, area of giftedness, or disorder to investigate. • Search textbooks and other available sources for information about the selected impairment, area, or disorder and record in appropriate boxes on the concept map in Appendix 5.01H, “Cognitive Impairments, Giftedness, and Behavioral/Emotional Disorders.” • You will need to be ready to report your findings to the class.

  26. Project #6 • Refer to the health conditions in Appendix 5.02D, middle column, to select one condition to study. • Allergies • Asthma • Diabetes • Epilepsy • Hemophilia • Search the text and other available sources for information about the selected health condition and record in appropriate boxes on the concept map in Appendix 5.01I, “Health Conditions.” • You will need to be ready to report your findings to the class.
