My name is Kayley Pate and as Hannah Schauben said above, "My group’s general topic of exploration is: Intervention for children with behavior or psychological disorders and learning disabilities. The specific inquiries that my group and I decided to explore are: What are important aspects to consider when creating effective intervention programs for children with emotional/psychological disorders and learning disabilities?

What are long-term effects of children not receiving proper intervention?

What are examples of effective strategies that have been implemented for children with learning disabilities and psychological disorders?"

Throughout this project we will be working together to address this problem, find evidence of the bad outcomes, and hopefully coming up with an adequate solution to the problem.

Findings script:

Hi, I’m Hannah Schauben. My group’s general topic of exploration is: Intervention for children with behavior or psychological disorders and learning disabilities. The specific inquiries that my group and I decided to explore are: What are important aspects to consider when creating effective intervention programs for children with emotional/psychological disorders and learning disabilities?

What are long-term effects of children not receiving proper intervention?

What are examples of effective strategies that have been implemented for children with learning disabilities and psychological disorders?

According to a Best Practices Guide for teaching students with severe emotional and behavior disorders, “students in today’s classroom are demonstrating challenging behaviors that are more frequent and intensive than in previous years.” Based on criteria from the DSM-IV, 15 to 20% of the entire student population is said to have a clinically significant emotional and/or behavioral disorder at any one time. Due to the increasing number of children struggling with these disabilities and disorders, intervention is especially crucial now. From the research we conducted, we compiled a list of the fundamental aspects of a successful intervention program.

First, identifying specific problematic behaviors that a child is demonstrating is necessary. After behavior identification, creating an individualized plan is the next step. Children with emotional behavior disorders require a structured and predictable environment. This type of environment involves clear and consistent expectations and changes in routine kept to a minimum. Throughout the process, educators should acknowledge and reward positive behaviors the child is displaying. Being aware of a child’s attention span and making time for breaks is essential to their ability to absorb information. Children should be treated fairly and motivational strategies should be implemented.

My partner will discuss her findings about long-term effects of children not receiving proper intervention.

STEP 3 Group Product/Artefact (Relevant Disciplines Table & Concept Map)

# data[].attributes.body
You will use classtime to work with your group members on STEP 3. As you discuss and address criteria/actions for STEP 3, take notes/create a table and a concept map showing disciplines with potentially relevant insights to your group's problem (table) and relationships between key concepts/phenomena involved (concept map) in your project. Before leaving class, one of you in the group will upload the artifact into this post. Write names of group members who were part of the conversation on the artefact. You can take a picture of both the table and the concept and upload within this post.

This is a group project. Your group needs your input and needs you to be present. If a group member is absent, they will be allowed to submit their contribution to the group’s product with the submission of acceptable documentation showing an extenuating circumstance that prevented them from attending class.
