Abstract:

According to the UNICEF report, up to ten percent of children in the world have affected specific learning disabilities (SLD) and the majority of these children are educated in general education classrooms. An important resource for children with learning disabilities to flourish in the classroom is access to assistive technology. To prepare children on how to utilize assistive technology in the learning environment is important for teachers. This systematic review focused on teacher perspectives on assistive technology regarding children with SLD. Six scholarly articles were used for this study. The information drawn from the articles showed that teachers are receptive to assistive technology in their classrooms. They perceived assistive technology as an important supportive device for improving the vital skills of reading and writing comprehension. However, it is clear from their perspectives that the teachers needed more support than they were able to access in order to feel comfortable to implement and use assistive technology in the classroom. Therefore the need for professional development and training and the integration of appropriate technical devices are vital to enhance the development of children with SLD. Future research will be focus on how pre-service teachers are being prepared for AT use as a part of their pre-service training program and professional development.

Abstract:

The Picture Exchange Communication System (PECS) is an augmentative and alternative communication program (Frost & Bondy, 2002). Although PECS has been effectively used to teach functional requesting skills for children with autism, mental retardation, visual impairment, and physical disabilities (e.g., Anderson, Moore, & Bourne, 2007; Chambers & Rehfeldt, 2003), there are limited studies examining the effectiveness of PECS to teach requesting skills for children with multiple disabilities including visual impairment (Lund & Troha, 2008).This study explored the effectiveness of combining tangible symbols and other adaptations with PECS to teach requesting skills to students with multiple disabilities. Specifically, the participants were four students with multiple disabilities including visual impairment who also had many challenges in communication skills. The research design was the multiple probe design across subjects, a variation of a multiple baseline design. A notable benefit to this design is that there was no need to collect continuous recordings of baseline measures, because a strong a priori assumption of stability and the possibility of causing strong participant reactions existed before introducing the intervention. Instead, the researcher made periodic recordings of baseline levels to insure no significant changes have occurred before introducing the intervention.The study included four parts: (a) the assessment of reinforcers, (b) baseline, (c) the implementation of the intervention, which was teaching the three PECS phases and conducting generalization sessions, and (d) the maintenance condition. Three important research questions were posed:1. Can students with multiple disabilities including visual impairment learn to make requests for preferred items using adapted PECS materials and procedures?2. Can students with multiple disabilities including visual impairment generalize requesting skills for preferred items using adapted PECS from training rooms to classrooms?3. Can students with multiple disabilities including visual impairment maintain requesting skills after training?The results indicated that all four participants learned requesting skills using adapted PECS, generalized the newly acquired skills to their classrooms, and maintained the requesting skills after training. Results of this study provided preliminary evidence that PECS with adaptations could be used effectively to teach requesting skills for students with multiple disabilities including visual impairment.

Abstract:

The purpose of this research was to examine teacher perspectives and attitudes on inclusive education for children with disabilities in Fiji. Teachers' perspectives and attitudes are crucial in providing insights that could help improve education and services for children with disabilities in regular schools in Fiji. A qualitative approach using semi structured interviews was selected as the methodology for this research. Nine teachers from nine different schools in Suva, the capital city of Fiji, participated in this research. The nine participants were selected from three different school settings. Three of the participants were from special schools, three were from primary schools and three were from secondary schools. Data collected showed that teachers support inclusive education, however, they had reservations on the inclusion of students with severe disabilities. Several factors were identified to influence teachers' attitudes towards inclusion. The most common factors were severity of disability that the students had, inadequate training of teachers on teaching students with disabilities, inadequate government funding, lack of specialised resource personnel and lack of appropriate equipment and resources to support students and teachers in the teaching learning process. Limited commitment from the Ministry of Education and limited participation and consultation of teachers on policy and curriculum design were also identified as contributing factors for non inclusion of students with disabilities in regular schools. Teachers need to change their perspectives and attitudes and schools need to be welcoming and prepared to accept all students with disabilities into the general education system in Fiji.

Abstract:

This exploratory study investigated the similarities and differences between two assessment measures — the Kindergarten School Learning Profile teacher ratings and the Gordon Diagnostic System — in identifying children who would likely be at-risk for experiencing school failure as a result of attentional/impulse control deficits displayed in kindergarten. As attentional skills are believed to influence memory, visual memory was also investigated in relation to attention and impulse control. Twenty-eight teacher-nominated "high risk" kindergarten students were identified as functioning within the lowest 10% for overall school readiness. Computerized systematic random selection procedures were used to identify 30 control students. Teacher ratings of attentional and impulse control abilities manifested both within and outside of the classroom were obtained for all children and compared to their vigilant and impulse control performances on the Gordon Diagnostic System (GDS). Visual memory abilities were examined through use of the Bead Memory subtest of the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale: Fourth Edition. The results obtained reveal that normally achieving students were assigned higher qualitative ratings of attention and impulse control by their teachers than were the "high risk" students. Significant relationships between impulsivity (as measured by the GDS) and teacher ratings were unsubstantiated by the data obtained. Only the "high risk" group displayed few significant correlations between teachers' ratings of attentional skills and students' vigilant performances on the GDS. Normally achieving students were found to display significantly better vigilant and impulse control skills on the GDS compared to the poorly achieving "high risk" group. Significant performance deterioration over time was evident on the Vigilance Task but not on the Delay Task of the GDS. Few significant differences between boys and girls in both impulse control and sustained attentional skills were displayed.

Abstract:

Individuals with developmental disabilities often experience challenges in learning toileting skills, which highlights a need for effective toilet training strategies that can be readily disseminated to caregivers. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of parent attendance at a rapid toilet training-derived workshop on the toileting behaviours of their children with developmental disabilities. In the workshop, 6 parents were provided with instruction related to teaching urinary continence, which included increased fluid intake, positive reinforcement for correct toileting, scheduled toilet sittings, scheduled chair sittings to teach initiation, redirection for accidents, maintenance and generalization . Following the workshop, parents implemented the toilet training procedure they had learned at home with their children for approximately 5 days with telephone support from a researcher. A multiple baseline design was used to examine the effectiveness of the workshop. Results suggest that the toilet-training workshop resulted in increases in positive toileting behaviours in five of the six children. The results are discussed in relation to previous and future research and implications for practice.

Abstract:

A growing disparity between the mental health needs of children and their lack of treatment served as the basis of this study. To address this existent gap, I proposed that child-centered play therapy (CCPT), a holistic treatment that fosters children's emotional, developmental, and social growth would serve as a viable treatment. The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of CCPT on problem behaviors among children identified with an intellectual disability. Specifically, a single case, A-B-A design (N = 2) was used to examine changes in participant's problem behaviors as measured on the Aberrant Behavior Checklist (ABC) across conditions. Trained raters used the ABC to rate participant's problem behaviors 3 times per week during the course of this study. Participants completed 2 weeks of a no-intervention phase, 5 weeks of play therapy 3 times per week, and 2 weeks of a no-intervention maintenance phase. Additionally, participants were administered the Gesell Developmental Observation to assess their maturational age during the baseline and maintenance phases. Parents also completed the ABC during two intervals: baseline phase, and maintenance phase. Analysis of results indicated that problem behaviors decreased for both participants. Results from the percent of non-overlapping data (PND), an indice for effect size further revealed that play therapy was a very effective treatment for participants. Follow-up interviews suggested that play therapy is a viable intervention for children with intellectual disabilities and problem behaviors. Clinical observations and implications for future research are presented.

Abstract:

The effectiveness of the Touch Math method of instruction was examined in count-all addition procedures with Down Syndrome children. Four children with Down Syndrome were selected for a multiple probe design study. The participants, two male and two female, are students at a school for intellectually handicapped children and adolescents. They were ascertained to have the minimum required skills in rote counting, one-to-one correspondence, and recognition and identification of numbers. In a multiple pretest procedure with 15 simple addition problems, they demonstrated ineffective addition strategies such as guessing and averaged less than 35% correct.
The Touch Math program was then implemented during the regularly scheduled math period four days a week for 40 minutes each day. Students progressed through an incrementally more difficult series of simple addition worksheets. During each session the student received training on the problems and then was administered the worksheet.
Results indicate that the Touch Math method has been successful for the teaching of simple addition with these students. Scores on the worksheets progressed from 0% to 100% correct and probe results improved from less than 35% correct to greater than 86% correct following completion of the program. Subjects completed the program in 5 to 16 days.

Abstract:

A descriptive study was conducted to identify authentic professional development needs of elementary teachers preparing, implementing, and maintaining inclusion of students with disabilities in the general education classrooms in Northeast Tennessee. The purpose of this study was to contribute information of identified professional development needs of elementary teachers to current research on responsible inclusive education. Data were collected from 325 elementary teachers randomly assigned to the sample using a 65-item survey designed for this study. Three subsections of the survey, Assessing Professional Development Needs of Teachers Implementing Inclusion in Grades PreK-8, assessed the perceived needs of conditions, areas, and foundations of effective professional development by determining the discrepancies between observed and desired scales. Demographic factors included years of teaching experience, level of education, level of experience working with students with disabilities, current stage of involvement with an inclusive programs, and amount of formal or college course work in special education. The data were analyzed with an analysis of variance to determine significance between and within groups and a post hoc test determined specific significant groups. The factors that determined the most significance were level of experience working with students with disabilities and current stage of involvement with an inclusive program. Conclusions of the study reveal the need for professional development based on professional growth stages and relevant to present working conditions and events.

Full text

Abstract:

Child-based consultation is an innovative problem-solving consultative model. Essentially, child-based consultation is a process wherein the child is given the role of the consultee to induce a behavioral change in a significant adult (Bergan & Kratochwill, 1990; Kratochwill & Pittman, 2002; Kratochwill, Sladeczek, & Plunge, 1995). The present study was an exploratory investigation to evaluate the efficacy of child-based consultation as an alternative form of problem-solving consultation in the school setting. In the present study, child-based consultation was used to promote behavioral changes in teachers in the classroom environment. In addition, child consultees, manifesting behavioral difficulties, were engaged in this consultative process in order to learn new, individualized skills and strategies to alter their own problematic behaviors. The resulting behavioral changes in four child consultees, and their teachers, were investigated. Specifically, the study measured whether child involvement in child-based consultation increased the teacher's use of positive reinforcement and decreased the teacher's use of punishment with each child consultee. The study also sought to ascertain the impact of the child-based consultative process on the child consultee's problem behaviors targeted for change. Additionally, the teacher's sense of efficacy was measured to evaluate if the use of this form of consultation with children manifesting behavioral difficulties would lead to a heightened sense of teacher efficacy. Finally, the present study evaluated if being involved in child-based consultation would lead to a more adaptive self-concept in the child consultees. Time-series, small- n research designs (i.e., AB, multiple baseline, changing criterions designs) were used to analyze study outcomes. Results indicated that certain teacher behaviors were positively altered from baseline to post-intervention. Generally, positive changes in child consulte

Taussig, Patricia L. "The effects of teacher participation and probing on language production during sociodramatic play of Head Start students." Virtual Press, 1989. http://liblink.bsu.edu/uhtbin/catkey/558367.

Full text

Abstract:

An experimental comparison was made of the effects of teacher participation, teacher probing behavior, and nonparticipation by teachers during the sociodramatic play sessions of three groups of Head Start preschool students (twelve subjects). A combination of the multiple baseline and multielement single-subject designs was employed to study the effects of teacher participation in sociodramatic play on the amount of language production exhibited by Head Start students. A Placheck method was utilized to record student language production at the end of each 10-second interval throughout each 10-minute session. Thirty play sessions were observed and recorded by both the researcher and a videocamera. Students were selected by their teachers, and all play sessions took place within the children's own classroom. Subjects included six males and six females.The study was divided into three phases. The Baseline phase included the alternation of the conditions of teacher participation and nonparticipation. At the end of this phase, teachers were trained in the use of probes, or questions to which the answer is not known by the teacher. During the Probe phase, teachers participated in play sessions daily and utilized frequent probes. During the Multielement Manipulation phase, the conditions of teacher participation alone and teacher participation emphasizing the use of probes were randomly alternated. Graphic representations of subject performance data were used to portray intersubject and intrasubject variability.Results indicated that rates of student language production increased for 10 out of 12 students (83%) when exposed to the condition of teacher probing during the Probe phase of the study. When the effects of teacher participation and teacher participation emphasizing probing were compared, it was found that 11 out of 12 students (92%) exhibited higher rates of language production during the condition of teacher probing.It was concluded that the use of teacher participation in the sociodramatic play of Head Start students, particularly with an emphasis on probing behavior, proved to be most beneficial in enhancing the amount of language production of the students. The findings of the present study lend support to the concept that teacher participation in the sociodramatic play of low-income preschool children can result in increased student language development.

Abstract:

The effects of a training package (modeling, role-playing, and feedback) were evaluated using a multiple baseline across skill areas. Two trainers taught two teachers to use basic intervention skills that included components of both discrete trial teaching (DTT) and the Natural Language Paradigm (NLP). Training occurred in the context of one task. Generalization was assessed with two untrained tasks. Teachers' responses in the target task increased following training, as did appropriate responding from the child. Some generalization of the teaching skills occurred. Teachers were instructed to generalize acquired skills as a possible method to promote generalization. The results of these findings and implications for training of ABA providers are discussed.

Abstract:

Technological advancement has allowed widespread use of computers. Teachers are using computer based instruction in educating talented and disadvantaged youngsters. Unabated by unsettled issues and claims, computers are introduced to cope with declining enrollment and school revenues; pressure to improve student achievement and cut costs. However, some educators fear two possibilities: computer displacement of teachers; and creating a class of technologically disadvantaged students that could result from a growing gap of access to computers. Another factor is the restriction of disadvantaged students to basic skills. While providing opportunities of a wider application to others. The objectives of this research are: to examine issues about instructional computers; review the academic and economic rationales behind; and, to make appraisals of their instructional and resource effectiveness. A quasi-experimental evaluation research was carried out on two "experimental" groups (CAI and PLL), and a control group (TMI) of Title I schools in Portland. A sample was selected, and multiple criteria of effectiveness assessment, i.e., comparative economic analysis and impact assessment, was conducted using multiple-regression and regression-based covariance analysis on test scores, instructional time, cost figures and other census data. A survey of instructional personnel was also conducted to evaluate courseware quality. Highlights of the findings of the research are the following. Title I students' achievement scores neither the initial nor the final are homogeneous; however, computers foster effective compensatory education; CAI shows a superior instructional achievement and cost-effectiveness. Survey results of instructional personnel confirm this finding. Resource and neighborhood variables explain a significant portion of achievement variation. Instructional time is positively related to but not a linear predictor of achievement. The impact of time also depends on the level of achievement. The expansion of instructional computer use is encouraged, together with recommendations for caution in the selection of courseware/curriculum compatibility. It is also strongly recommended that teachers should be involved in the selection of future instructional technology to assure successful implementation and optimal compatibility of teachers and computers.
