emotional/behavioral disabilities

Define and discuss the characteristics of emotional/behavioral disabilities (EBD). Emotional and behavioral disabilities (EBD) maybe defined as mental, emotional, psychological, or behavioral deficits characterized by the inability to build or maintain interpersonal relationships, the inability to learn or retain academic information, consistent inappropriate feelings or behavior under normal conditions, pervasive unhappiness or depression, or developing physical symptoms and unreasonable fear associated with learning processes (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). For pre-school learners, many of the preceding appear in the pre-school environment and is generally documented during an extensive assessment period (Georgia Department of Education, 2015). This helps verify that an emotional/behevaioral problem is occuring. The EBD is emotionally based and may not explained by intellectual, cultural, sensory, or general health issues (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). The Center for Disease Control and Prevention has documented that approximately 8.3 million children suffer from some form of EBD (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). As auch, this problem is significant in the general population.
Explain the educational implications and how IDEA plays a role in ensuring students are given the appropriate support in the classroom. EBD severely influences a student’s learning processes and outctomes and includes anxiety disorders, bipolar disorders, conduct disoders, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorders, and many other psychotic disorders (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). This is why special needs are warranted. The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act indicates that all emotional disturbances are included in special need service provisions (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). Further, the IDEA defines emotional disturbance to include areas beyond emotion (Center for Parent Information and Resources, 2010). This helps to ensure that appropriate support is provided to all learners in the classroom, no matter their specific level of limitation.
Discuss any of your own personal insights and/or strategies for teaching students with EBD. What challenges have you typically found or would anticipate with teaching students with EBD? How can these challenges be mitigated? Students with EBD often do not desire to be in a classroom setting or they lack motivation to achieve in school assignments. This is why the instructor must have a clear plan and focused guidelines to implement towards learner engagement and positive academic outcomes. To facilitate this the instructor could use handouts and guided notes, encourage students to respond more frequently to prompts, use response cards, allow choral responding, and implement rewards at appropriate benchmarks (Toms & Whitewater, 2016). Ultimately, the instructor must consistently draw the EBD learners into the learning process through innovations, creativity, and positive reinforcement mechanisms.

Summarize the behavioral and academic characteristics of students with ADHD.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (or ADHD) may be defined as a brain condition that affects an individual’s ability to pay attention or focus and is very common in school-aged children (American Speech Language Hearing Association, 2017). According to the U.S.Department of Education (2017), ADHD generates from a developmental failure in brain curcuitry that regulates inhibition and self-control; which results in self-regulation impairment in the individual. This condition severly impacts the child’s ability to take in and process academic information. The behaviors associated with ADHD include inattention, hyperactivity, and impusivity; which is generally more extreme than the average child of the same age (Miller, 2017). In most instances, the difference is quite noticable.
Behavioral characteristics of ADHD includes students having difficulty concentrating, having consistent unrelated thoughts, having difficulty maintaining attention, may appear to not listen, has problems learning new things, is unable to sit still, is restless, bounces from one activity to another, consistently does several things at once, does not think before acting, may not wait turn, and may outburst regularly (American Speech Language Hearing Association, 2017). ADHD is generally diagnosed after observation, interviewing, assessing, and evaluating the learner to verify that behavioral characteristics are consistent (American Speech Language Hearing Association, 2017). Further, subsequent assessments may be used to identify area of special needs
Describe three practical accommodations, not listed in the required reading that you might need to use in your classroom. Explain why you chose the three and how you would implement the accommodations.
Practical accommodations for students with ADHD should always include positive engagement. Motivating the learner towards desired outcomes helps to reduce or eliminate contention or power struggles. Other modifications may include planning ahead together with the learner, creating short-term and long-term classroom goals with the learner, and listening to and sharing information with learner towards classroom success (Helpguide.org, n.d.). The instructor should pay attention to things that may trigger a behavioral or emotional outburst in ADHD learners, find ways to creatively coalesce ADHD learner’s input, and allow the ADHD student regular time-outs to re-focus or reset towards the task at hand. The previous 3 accommodations help mitigate against major classroom disruptions, clashes, or power struggles.

The Production Process

A  warehouse manager thought a recent presentation on operations management was extremely valuable to the company. He now wants to shift the conversation to focus on the production process. He would like you to explain the key components of the production process to others in his department. He has asked you to create a memo that will be sent out to everyone in his department.
Using what you learned in the game module, draft a memo explaining to your production managers how effective the production process can be and how it could help to enhance profitability and stakeholder value for the company, including the following:

  • Provide an overview of what a manufacturing process is and how it is organized.
  • Explain why process thinking is important in operations management.
  • Explain the concepts of setup time, utilization time, production scheduling, and bottlenecks in a simple manufacturing process and what the role of the operations manager is.
  • The memo should include a visual representation of an example process dominant layout and the advantages and disadvantage of such a layout should be provided. You may use the “Shape” or “SmartArt” options in Word for your illustration.

Note: The game module must be played and completed to complete the full IP assignment.
Please submit your assignment.
For assistance with your assignment, please use your text, Web resources, and all course materials.
