Justify your augmentative and/or alternative communication devices or other forms of assistive technology choices in a 250-500 word rationale.

Augmentative and Alternative Communication Devices

There are various methods and tools that can be used to improve the accessibility of curriculum for students with disabilities. Augmentative and alternative communication devices as well as other assistive technologies are often used for this purpose. It is important for teachers to understand the options that are available, and that they advocate for students to be provided with the best possible tools to assist them.

Part 1: Measurement Data Lesson Plan

Select a 1-5 grade level, a corresponding Arizona or other state standard based on the Measurement and Data domain, and a group of 3-4 students from the “Class Profile” who would benefit from the use of augmentative and/or alternative communication devices or other forms of assistive technology.

With your identified learning target and small group in mind, complete a lesson plan, using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” that specifies applicable assistive technology and includes differentiated activities to facilitate students making measurement comparisons, and

Using models of measuring units; or
Using measuring instruments; or
Representing and interpreting the data.
Part 2: Communication Device Rationale

In addition to your completed lesson plan, justify your augmentative and/or alternative communication devices or other forms of assistive technology choices in a 250-500 word rationale.

Support your choices with 2-3 scholarly resources.

Prepare this assignment according to the APA guidelines found in the Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center. An abstract is not required.

Lesson planning is not just about planning what you want your students to know, but also planning for possible situations that might arise and solutions that can be used. Using academic and behavioral data, a teacher must plan for what each child is going to need to help them access the curriculum as well as any individual accommodations that will be needed. The time spent on planning helps to ensure successful delivery of the lesson. Select a 3-5 grade level and a corresponding Arizona or other state standard based on the Number and Operations-Fractions domain. Compose an aligning learning objective and design appropriate activities for a selected group of 3-4 students, of varying academic levels, from the “Class Profile.” Using the “COE Lesson Plan Template,” complete the lesson plan through the Multiple Means of Engagement section, making sure the activities are supported by the recommendations found in the topic Resources. For your differentiated activities, specifically address: ~Fraction tasks, including area, length, and set/quantity models; or ~Equivalent fractions. In the Multiple Means of Engagement section, draft five questions you could ask students during the lesson that promote conceptual understanding related to fractions. ~In the Multiple Means of Representation section, describe five potential issues and/or roadblocks that might happen while delivering the lesson, based on the needs of the selected group of students. Provide possible solutions to each potential issue.

Discuss common metabolic complications of the assisted feeding method chosen and the factors that contribute to these complications.

Veterinary medical practice is multifaceted, exciting, and challenging. Just as there are marked differences in medical treatment approaches across species, nutritional and other daily care concepts can vary greatly among different types of animals, even between dogs and cats. The life stages within a species correspond to specific, differing feeding as well as other care requirements.

Also fascinating is the special bond between humans and animals; these bonds enhance the life and health of both human and animal. As healthcare professionals, veterinary technicians provide a special role in promoting health and assisting end-of-life phases of animals.

What discharge instructions would you provide the client, including how to continue with the assisted feeding at home?
Now you’ll investigate the feeding requirements for a sheep wool production business.

What are some other interventions that could have been done? Was the LPN in this scenario working within the scope of practice for an LPN? Why or why not? How did the environment of care contribute to the client’s deterioration?

Select appropriate nursing interventions for clients with disorders of the urinary system.

Instructions

Read the scenario below, and answer the questions. When you see a that means a clue.

The Story

It is Friday the 13th and a full moon. You are an LPN that normally works on a medical-surgical unit, but your unit is overstaffed, and the emergency department is short staffed. The nursing supervisor asks for a volunteer to go down to be an extra pair of hands. You volunteer as tribute. When you get to the ER, you are asked to do vitals on a client in the trauma room. The client is a 24-year-old male who was stabbed multiple times to the abdomen.

The wounds appear superficial, and the client has been stable thus far. He will be going to CAT scan as soon as they can fit him in. You approach the client, who appears slightly pale with cool, clammy but is alert and talkative. The vital signs are:

97.3 (PO) P= 115 BP= 95/54 Resp rate= 24 Pain= 6/10. You notice the client voided 100 mL tea-colored urine in his urinal.

One hour later, the client becomes unconscious. His pulse is now 144, and blood pressure is 70/50. The client is taken to the OR and has a nephrectomy for a very damaged and bleeding right kidney.

Answer the following questions:

What were the clues in the data collection that should have alerted you and the staff that there might be a problem?
Why is the urine “tea-colored?”
What are some other interventions that could have been done?
Was the LPN in this scenario working within the scope of practice for an LPN? Why or why not?
How did the environment of care contribute to the client’s deterioration?

What should they be doing in their supportive role, and could it mean they should be more involved with the IEP process and the IEP team?

The Role of Paraprofessionals in Special Edcuation

Knackendoffel, Dettmer and Thurston , determined this shift is due to IDEA mandates that requiring students with disabilities to be educated in general education classrooms and receive the same instruction as their grade-level peers.  Paraprofessionals are doing more today and performing different functions than they were two decades ago.

What should they be doing in their supportive role, and could it mean they should be more involved with the IEP process and the IEP team?
According to the Department of Education  The NCLBA,lists the duties a paraprofessional can perform, they are as follows
⦁ one-to- one tutoring that doesn’t replace a teacher’s instructional time, organizing instructional materials to provide classroom management support, conduct parent involvement activities
⦁ Assist with classroom management, such as by organizing instructional materials,
⦁ Provide instructional assistance in a computer laboratory,
⦁ Conduct parental involvement activities,
⦁ Provide instructional support in a library or media center
⦁ Act as a translator, or
⦁ Provide instructional support services under the direct supervision of a highly qualified teacher.

Long Term Relationships

Class is Human Development
Several perspectives on long-term relationships are described on pages 186-189. Without using personal names, anonymously and confidentially identify a couple that you know that have a long-term relationship. For example, you might write “a couple from my immediate family…”, “a couple from my extended family….” or “a couple from my friendship circle…”.

Describe at least two connections that you believe apply to their long-term relationship and one or more of the psychological perspectives. Your post should consist of at least 200 words
