    Study Notes

    Foundations of Special and Inclusive Education

    Social Model of Disability

    • The social model of disability views disability as a result of societal barriers, not individual impairments.
    • It emphasizes that people with impairments are often excluded from participation in society due to physical, organizational, and attitudinal barriers.
    • This model promotes inclusion and equal opportunities for people with disabilities.

    Medical Model of Disability

    • The medical model of disability views disability as a personal tragedy or individual problem.
    • It focuses on the individual's impairment or disability, rather than the societal barriers that prevent their participation.
    • This model is often seen as disempowering and limiting for people with disabilities.

    Concepts of Disability (According to WHO)

    • Disability: any restriction or lack of ability to perform an activity in the manner or range considered normal for a human being.
    • Impairment: any loss or abnormality of psychological, physiological, or anatomical structure or function.
    • Handicap: a disadvantage for a given individual, resulting from an impairment or disability, that prevents the fulfillment of a role.

    Implications of Disability Models

    • Medical model: the individual is seen as the problem, and the focus is on changing the individual to fit into society.
    • Social model: the barriers in society are seen as the problem, and the focus is on removing these barriers to promote inclusion.

    People with Disabilities (PWDs)

    • PWDs are often excluded from participation in society due to physical, organizational, and attitudinal barriers.
    • They may experience internalized oppression, where they are made to feel that they are the problem and need to change.

    Other Concepts

    • At-risk: children who are considered to have a greater than usual chance of developing a disability.
    • People First Policy: a language trend that involves putting the person first, not the disability.
    • Era of Extermination (BC): a period of history where people with disabilities were seen as a burden and were often subjected to punishment and exclusion.
    • Jean Marc Gaspard-Itard: a pioneer in special education who used systematic techniques to teach a boy with disabilities.
    • Eduard Seguin: a educator who focused on teaching individuals with intellectual disabilities using sensory and motor training.
    • Maria Montessori: a educator who developed the concept of self-construction of the child and the "prepared environment".
    • 1907: Insular School for the Deaf and Blind was established.
    • 1960: Undersecretary of Education and Culture for Non-formal Education was established.
    • 1983: Law to Enhance Mobility of PWDs was passed.
    • 1987: The 1987 Philippine Constitution was ratified.
    • 1989: Proclamation 480 declared 1990-1999 as the "Decade of Education for All".

    Inclusive Education

    • Inclusive education is a process that aims to respond to students' diversity by increasing their participation and reducing exclusion.
    • It involves adapting the design and physical structures, teaching methods, and curriculum to make education accessible to all students.
    • Inclusive education is transformative, not just alleviative, and equates to the idea of equity.

    Adaptations and Accommodations

    • Adaptations: changes permissible in educational environments to allow students equal opportunity to access and participate.
    • Accommodations: changes that allow students with disabilities to participate in inclusive environments by compensating for their weaknesses.

    Effective Practice in Teaching Inclusive School

    • Inclusive education is transformative, not just alleviative, and equates to the idea of equity.
    • It involves adapting the design and physical structures, teaching methods, and curriculum to make education accessible to all students.

    Learners with Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (EBD)

    • The key characteristics of EBDs include impulsiveness, short attention span, aggression/acting out, defiance, and refusal.
    • EBDs are often seen as a result of societal and environmental factors, rather than individual impairments.### Learning Difficulties and Behaviors
    • LDGTL (Learners with Disabilities, Gifted and Talented Learners) require a structured curriculum that is tailored to their individual needs, with accommodations and modifications to meet their learning requirements.
    • Special education teachers work collaboratively with other professionals to provide intensive instruction to LDGTL.
    • Internalizing behaviors are problems that focus on the individual's self, such as withdrawal, anxiety, depression, and emotional problems, which can lead to issues like poor academic performance, social withdrawal, and mental health problems if left untreated.
    • Externalizing behaviors occur in interaction with the social environment and include problems like aggression, impulsivity, defiance, and hyperactivity, which can result in difficulties like antisocial behavior, delinquency, and peer problems.

    Psychiatric Disorders

    • Anxiety Disorders: a broad term covering several disabilities that share the core symptom of irrational fear, including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety disorder, and specific phobias.
      • Examples of people with anxiety disorders: Adele, Oprah Winfrey, Ryan Reynolds, Johnny Depp

      • Examples of people with ODD: Shia LaBeouf
    • Conduct Disorder: a mental health condition that affects children and teens, characterized by persistent antisocial and aggressive behaviors.
    • Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder (DMDD): a childhood disorder characterized by a pervasively irritable or angry mood, recently added to DSM-5.

    Assessment and Interventions

    • RTI (Response to Intervention): a proactive approach to identify struggling students early and provide them with support to thrive in school.
    • Tier 1: Primary Instruction, involving all students in school, with sound instructional teaching processes and research-based instruction.
    • Tier 2: Secondary Intervention, providing supplemental instruction for students who have not advanced out of Tier 1, in a smaller group setting.
    • Tier 3: Serious Intervention, providing intensive instruction for students who continue to struggle from Tier 1 and Tier 2, with individualized learning goals and content specialists assigned to students.

    Instructional Accommodations

    What is ADHD?

    • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by difficulties with attention, impulsivity, and hyperactivity.
    • ADHD is not a distinct disease, but rather a collection of symptoms stemming from various emotional, psychological, or learning issues.

    Causes of ADHD

    • Genetics: inheritance from parents, ADHD runs in families, and specific genes are involved in the risk of developing ADHD.
    • Environmental interactions: prenatal exposure to toxins, maternal smoking during pregnancy, premature birth, and certain maternal medical disorders.
    • Brain structure and function: differences in the prefrontal cortex, basal ganglia, cerebellum, and corpus callosum regions.

    Characteristics and Types of ADHD

    • Predominantly Inattentive Presentation: difficulty with organization, finishing tasks, paying attention to details, and following instructions.
    • Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Presentation: fidgeting, talking excessively, interrupting others, and feeling restless.
    • Combined Presentation: symptoms of both inattentive and hyperactive-impulsive types.

    Assessments for ADHD

    • Interviews with parents, learners, relatives, and teachers.
    • Observation of the learner's behavior at home, school, and other places.
    • Medical evaluations and psychological assessments, including:
      • Neuropsychological tests (e.g., attention, memory, executive function, and processing speed).
      • Intelligence tests (e.g., verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed).
      • Mood and personality tests (e.g., self-report questionnaires, structured interviews, and rating scales).

    Instructional Accommodations for ADHD Learners

    • Flexible seating arrangements.
    • Concise and clear instructions to reduce confusion and distractions.
    • The use of checklists and setting completion goals to empower learners to take ownership of their learning process.
    • Allowing learners to choose what they want to master in terms of tests.
    • Personalized assessments tailored to their interests and strengths.
    • Frequent feedback on positive behavior to reinforce desired behaviors and enhance self-awareness, motivation, and academic success.

    Collaboration and Support for ADHD Learners

    • Collaboration between parents, teachers, or caregivers to improve academic performance and solve problems.
