Therapeutic Interventions That Increase Engagement For Students With Autism, Rachel B. Berndt
Therapeutic Interventions That Increase Engagement For Students With Autism, Rachel B. Berndt
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Students with autism require unique programming to increase engagement in the classroom setting. This literature review is a collection of research-based studies involving animal assisted interventions, music therapy, art therapy, speech-language therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy. The results of these studies suggest that when provided the therapeutic interventions listed above, students with autism increase engagement in the classroom due to the expansion of language and social communication skills and the decrease of maladaptive behaviors. Given purposeful and collaborative therapeutic interventions, students learn how to problem solve, collaborate, and communicate with adults and peers. Sensory processing challenges are addressed …

Co-Teaching In The Inclusive Math Classroom, Kylie Marie Kallman Moore
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This literature review examined various aspects of co-teaching math in inclusive classrooms. Research has shown varying results on the effects of student achievement for general education students and students with special needs in co-taught math classes. School-based differences may have an effect on these outcomes and should be examined further. Continued efforts to provide students with special needs the least restrictive environment for learning, ongoing co-planning, co-assessing, and reflection are key components for a successful co-teaching pair. Additionally, administrators should recognize the role they play in helping teachers’ planning efforts. Using a combination of the six models of co-teaching with …
School-To-Work Programs In High School And The Effect On Students With Disabilities Transition Skill Development, Rebecca Kelley
School-To-Work Programs In High School And The Effect On Students With Disabilities Transition Skill Development, Rebecca Kelley
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This literature review examined the transition skill development of students with disabilities through high school, school-to-work experiences. Students are graduating from high school at ever-increasing levels of under-preparedness for the world they are entering, whether it is employment or postsecondary education. School-to-work programs are one way to support youth in their preparation toward leaving school and transitioning into adulthood. In addition, students with a disability have higher rates of unemployment than their non-disabled peers, indicating that they are leaving school less employable. Phillips, et al. (2002) identified four characteristics of students that are prepared to transition out of high school: …

All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
One common element that all students face in school is failure. A review of literature will seek to answer the questions: What are the effects of failure on self-efficacy and mindset? What are the most effective structures to help students to handle and use failure in the classroom? This study will review the study of how parenting, gender, income effect how students deal with failure. Also, the study will identify how students with high and low self-esteem view failure differently. Secondly, a review of literature will investigate the differences of how students with growth and fixed mindset approach failure differently, …

Using Peer-Mediation To Provide Inclusion For Students With Moderate To Severe Autism Spectrum Disorders, Shauna Marie Geffre
Using Peer-Mediation To Provide Inclusion For Students With Moderate To Severe Autism Spectrum Disorders, Shauna Marie Geffre
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Students identified with low-functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), in center-based programs, have minimal opportunities for inclusion in the general education setting and are often emotionally and socially excluded from their peers. Peer-mediated instruction (PMI) is a social skills intervention that trains neurotypical peers to be peer buddies for students with ASD. Research highlights PMI as an evidenced-based practice that increases social communication skills in students with ASD and develops empathy, patience, tolerance, and other character traits for neurotypical peers. The application of this project applies PMI practices in an elementary school to increase the social communication needs and promote inclusion …
Individualizing Instruction Using Work Systems And Other Assistive Technology For Students With Significant Developmental Disabilities, Maria Leeann Goff
Individualizing Instruction Using Work Systems And Other Assistive Technology For Students With Significant Developmental Disabilities, Maria Leeann Goff
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Students with significant developmental disabilities demonstrate different strengths and needs than typically developing students. These students’ skills in the areas of academics, communication, fine and gross motor, daily living skills, adaptive/functional skills, etc. are significantly discrepant from their same-age non-disabled peers. Because of this, students with such high needs should not be expected to learn the same way as their peers. Instruction for students with significant disabilities must be individualized. Communication strategies, teaching techniques, and technology are critical for individualizing instruction for students with significant disabilities. The structured teaching approach provides students with the visual and concrete instruction they need …

The Impact That Student’S Homelife Have On Their Ability To Achieve Success In School, Annmarie T. Umland
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The homelife of an adolescent has a profound impact on their ability to find success in school. Students who come from a family that is made up of a single parent, divorced parents, homelessness, and some other non-traditional family configurations are more likely to be unsuccessful in school and develop unwanted psychological adjustments. This research explores how a student’s homelife affects their success in school from the views of both a traditional and non-traditional family type. It also focuses on the impact that teachers and school communities can have on a student’s success, regardless of their upbringing. Through this research, …

Disproportionality In Special Education: The Factors Of Overrepresentation, Lack Of Inclusion And It's Impact On Student Success, Paige E. Webb
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
The Least Restrictive Environment (LRE) is the guiding force behind placement for special education students. It provides students with disabilities access to the general education classroom and the ability to learn. The Individuals with Disabilities Act of 2004 (IDEA) sets forth regulations that require academic institutions to prioritize inclusive learning for all students regardless of the severity of needs. However, through various studies and findings, institutions have not followed mandates wholeheartedly. Due to this, students with disabilities, as well as minority students, are both consciously and subconsciously pushed away from the general education classroom, unfairly singled out through the referral …

Inclusion Model Impact On Students With Disabilities In Academic Settings, Michael Anthony Adams
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
This study explored how the special education inclusion model impacted students with disabilities in several South Georgia counties. The researcher determined there were differences in perceptions and actual progression based on the findings from educators’ survey responses and standardized test results concerning the impact of the inclusion model on special education students in general education classrooms. This difference in perception versus reality emerged as a theme and may be attributed to educator’s negative experiences. Specific interest was given to students with disabilities in the categories of specific learning disability (SLD), emotional behavioral disability (EBD), mild intellectual disability (MI), and other …
