- During my senior year block at ASU I created a presentation
on special needs. In this project we talked about the different special
needs that are found in the classroom. The special needs that were
focused on were ADD/ADHD, gifted students, diabetes, and epilepsy.
In this presentation we talked about what each of these special needs were
and how to handle them in your classroom. For this presentation we
did research using the ERIC search in our University Library. After
we had gathered the information, we created a power point presentation,
brochures, and questions for a debate. In this presentation we also
read children’s books related to special needs and watched a video clip
on a Down syndrome boy.
This presentation would be good to use for a faculty meeting in the schools. It talks about how to deal with situations that may arise in the classroom. Through this research done for this presentation I learned how to handle a seizure if a student was to have one.
The research done for this presentation was gathered form the Internet and the ERIC search located in the library. Using the ERIC search fulfils competency 13.4 in the presentation there was a debate on having special needs student in the classroom. In our presentation we talked about the adjustments that would need to be made if there were special needs students in our class. These adjustments would fulfils competency 13.2
